TL;DR:TIFU when I had the amazing idea to try gummies with my girlfriend. We were on a nice date getting some sushi and had a decent wait time at the restaurant. We went outside and I happened to notice a vape shot next door. I then had the amazing idea to pick up some gummies for the two of us. Mind you, my girlfriend has never tried weed, and she never will again after what came later. Anyway, the guy working at the vape shop recommended a couple of options for us, a red flag I should have paid attention to, and one of the options was a big bag that said “850 mg” on it. I haven’t had any gummies in years and I thought to myself, “That’s not too crazy but we don’t need that many”. So I did some math, thinking it was 850mg for the full bag, and purchased two gummies. We had a nice dinner, got home, and decided it was time pop these gummies in and just relax. Except we didn’t… I was fine but I look over at my girlfriend and she was clearly panicking. It was at this moment that I tried to move to help her and I couldn’t talk. What I didn’t know is that we were both greening out… bad. Time started feeling unstable and we were both hyperventilating. I then started hallucinating that I was drowning and when I finally “surfaced” I woke up and threw up on myself. We both then crawled out of bed and started crawling toward the bathroom. I finally forced out the words “cold” and “water” and she nodded that she understood. We got to the bathroom and I threw up again as I was undressing to get in the shower. We both then got in the cold shower and laid on the floor. We were both in and out of consciousness for what felt like forever and I thought we were going to die. There were several moment where I’d feel my girlfriend shake me awake b/c I would just stop breathing. Eventually we started fading out of it and looked at clock, and to our surprise we had been in the shower for 11 hours! We both felt sick and just wanted to go lie down but the room was still spinning. A little bit of rest and we’re both fine but you best believe that I called the vape shop. Here comes the best part, the shop owner answered, I told her what happened, and she said, “omg those did the same thing to me!”…. Suffice to say we will not be returning to this vape shop and we will not be trying gummies again any time soon.
Quick addition: To be clear I DID NOT intend to give my girlfriend an 850 mg gummy for her first time. I didn’t want to take that much either. I thought the full bag was 850mg so one would be a much, much lower amount. I asked the guy if just one of these would be okay for someone’s first time and he said “yes”. I know now that I shouldn’t have trusted it.
TIFU by accidentally giving myself and girlfriend 850 mg gummies.

I will never understand why people do edibles for their first experience with weed. There’s countless stories of shit like this happening and ending in a green-out.
My girlfriend begins to space out after like 3mg, I don’t think she’s ever tried more than 5. The most I’ve had is 15 all at once and even that was rough for me
I cannot physically imagine 850 💀
“omg those did the same thing for me” 😂😂😂 best ending!! Edibles are really a Russian roulette, better just smoke as a first experience
10 mg would have been enough for your girlfriend, and maybe even 5 mg. That is an insane amount for someone who has never tried weed
that’s not weed….weed don’t do that and I’ve eaten a lot of weed.
Those ultra high gummies are the type of shit I don’t mess with and I smoke heavier than almost anybody I know. I’ve got a sky high tolerance and they hit me like a truck. 2 blunts? Fine, gimme my bong for a few bowls now. One of those gummies? I’m couch locked at best.
I don’t understand the reasoning at all. What drew you to 850mg in the first place? I’d just find a normal looking, normal sounding edible (probaby based on flavor) that’s like 10mg or something and then go home and take half of one to assess tolerance then the other half if I didn’t feel much.
Would you go to pharmacy needing laxatives then find the “mega-explosive diarrhea super-lax” then think that must be the whole bag, let’s do some math think okay if I take 1/10th of one I’d be fine? No I’d probably just get the normal laxatives
Dude 850 MG?! WHAT
Holy fuck, you got gummies that essentially sent you and your gf’s souls through all 9 layers of hell. Most people green out at like, 100-200 MG in edibles. Christ, if you guys do ever hike up the courage for weed again, smoke first for the love of God
