Report

Background
At the time of dose, I had low to moderate experience using cannabis and low tolerance. No previous experience with any other psychedelics or substances. This was the first time I ever made what I call "the classic" inexperienced mistake of eating more of an edible before the first dose kicked in. At the time, I was fairly new to using cannabis (as were my friends who were present) and not entirely familiar with the ins and outs of its use - having mostly used 25mg edibles provided by friends on about a monthly basis.

Experience
I was together with good friends at their house where we had done weed a decent amount of times. It was a day or two before I would be taking a long road trip with someone, and I wanted to introduce my travel buddy to cannabis for the first time. So, we gathered around in the living room to eat some edibles, play games and munch on snacks.

(+0:00) Consumed 50mg or so of THC brownie and began playing card games with my group of friends.

(+0:45) Decided to eat about 25mg more.

(+1:00) At this point, myself and my group of friends begin laughing uncontrollably with the giggles. We also begin eating our snacks due to "the munchies". My travel buddy, who had also consumed about as much THC as I had (their first time), began to feel overwhelmed and we decided to have her lay down. She begins hearing voices, cannot speak well and really has to go to the bathroom. My other friends begin to help her to the bathroom as I sit back on the couch and start to space out, couch-locked.

(+1:10) As I am spacing out on the couch, I start to feel a strong falling sensation (hypnic jerks) as I lay down. I sit up, and begin to feel a swirling sensation in my head. This feels intense, like I have been dizzy from spinning in a circle. The swirling sensation begins to stabilize into a swirling visual manifestation. Then shapes seem to emerge from this swirl. The swirling turns into shapes which seem to be a combination of Shipibo patterns with the movement of a screensaver. They are zoomed-out and take up only part of my vision. The colors are mostly dull/black and white and the pattern moves back and forth in a fairly rapid fashion. As I experience this, I notify my friends (who are still dealing with my travel buddy). The experience feels intense in my head, and I am a bit nauseous, but am enjoying the novelty of what I am seeing. The visuals are much less pronounced when I close my eyes than when my eyes are open. The experience takes up my entire focus and is mostly "intense" feeling. I'd describe it as somewhat dysphoric, but not anxiety-inducing (I am a generally calm and cool-headed person, so YMMV).

(+1:15) Now it is just me in the room and the visuals are subsiding to what feels like a typical THC high experience.

(+1:20) My friends and I attend to my travel buddy, who has a bad time (including speaking in different languages, acting unlike herself and not being able to speak much at times). She was fine after the experience though. I believe my experience with OEV's was predominately a product of taking a very heavy dose of edibles (11-hydroxy-THC) with low to no tolerance at the time, though some anxiety from my travel buddy's situation may also have played a part to a lesser-extent. The fact that the edibles were (chocolate) brownies may have also played a role to make the experience enhanced and/or substance more bioavailable.

Effects analysis

  • Geometry - "The swirling sensation begins to stabilize into a swirling visual manifestation. Then shapes seem to emerge from this swirl.

The colors are mostly dull/black and white and the pattern moves back and forth in a fairly rapid fashion."
  • Physical euphoria - Felt after OEV's left, but was too focused on taking care of my travel buddy to enjoy.
  • Sedation - "My other friends begin to help her to the bathroom as I sit back on the couch and start to space out, couch-locked."
  • Appetite enhancement - "We also begin eating our snacks due to "the munchies"."
  • Changes in felt gravity - "As I am spacing out on the couch, I start to feel a falling sensation (hypnic jerks) as I lay down."
  • Nausea - "The experience feels intense in my head, and I am a bit nauseous, but am enjoying the novelty of what I am seeing."
  • Perception of bodily heaviness - Walking around felt very heavy. I now call this walking with concrete in my shoes.
  • Auditory enhancement - Music was on and enhanced throughout the experience. This always happens to me with THC, and mostly involves being able to hear notes in different layers, which sometimes seem to "wrap" around me.
  • Tracers - I observed light tracers in my hand movement, but they were not very noticeable compared to the OEV's.
