That's a pretty high dose if you aren't a regular user. Most of my friends who are very casual with it usually go for 10mg max. Altered visuals on cannabis are very rare, its almost entirely a psychological effect in my experience. As far as altered thoughts - did you think something was physically wrong with you? That paranoia 100% counts

> That's a pretty high dose if you aren't a regular user. Exactly. The goal was to take a really high dose, to see if it would do anything—I was getting impatient tapering up with 2.5mg (or so) edibles, so I bought some tincture, did some calculations, and took 50 milligrams' worth. (Just drank it directly from a dropper.) Now that I've tried such a high dose and not detected any desirable effects, I can basically rule out THC completely as a recreational drug. And it didn't require being uncomfortable more than a single time; pretty efficient if you ask me. > Altered visuals on cannabis are very rare, its almost entirely a psychological effect in my experience. "Visuals" includes imagination / mind's eye, but I also got no effect there whatsoever. I mentioned it because I know someone who claims that THC edibles added more "depth" to their imagination, almost like they could see it more clearly when they closed their eyes. I had no such effect. (The effects of THC seem to differ for every brain, depending on the location of the cannabinoid receptors or something?) > As far as altered thoughts - did you think something was physically wrong with you? That paranoia 100% counts Not really. I have dysphoria normally though, so I probably wouldn't be able to tell if it was coming from the THC. I did experience very strong dissociation, since THC is a dissociative, but I already have a dissociative disorder, so that's not very exciting or compelling. (I didn't know how to recognize the feeling of dissociation until I tried THC, though, so I will give it credit for teaching me what that feels like.)

  It took me several attempts with weed before it would affect me. I smoked like gram of flower one of my first times and had no effect, while my friends were zonked off of a few puffs. This isn't bragging about my tolerance, as nowadays a single puff can get me high, it's as if I had to "sensitize" myself to it.
