I ate a rogue pot gummy last night.

[LuckyCharms]

I think there might have been a quality control issue at the manufacturer of my pot gummies.

I usually only eat 5mg gummies, and they help me fall asleep before I get high.

I sleep in a recliner that is a few feet from my desk in my office, because laying flat wreaks havoc on my back.

I ate this little 5mg pot gummy last night, and I was getting ready to go to sleep, when I realized how baked I was. This thing was WAY more than 5mg.

I was frozen to the chair at my desk.

I gotta get to the recliner. Oh shit, this is bad. Gotta get to the recliner.

Couldn't move. Paranoid and scared.

I'm going to DIE if I don't get to the recliner.

It's alright, it's just the weed. You're OK.

Then an Asian ladybug flew by my right eye in my peripheral vision.

OH FUCK WAS THAT A BAT?

No, it's just a lady bug, whew.

I made it to the recliner.

Don't recline! Sit up straight and you'll be OK. If you recline, YOU'LL FUCKING DIE. YOU'LL DIE IN THIS RECLINER. SIT UP STRAIGHT, DON'T RECLINE WHATEVER YOU DO!!! FUCK MAN, YOU'RE 66 YEARS OLD AND YOU COULD DIE AT ANY MINUTE IF YOU RECLINE!!! SIT UP STRAIGHT!!! HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME AT THIS AGE, PEOPLE JUST FUCKING DIE!!! I SEE IT ALL OF THE TIME!!! DON'T RECLINE!

So I fell asleep sitting straight up. Woke up about 5AM with my chin in my chest, shivering, because I had no blanket. I looked down, and there was a drool stain on my shirt the size of a serving platter.

I said to myself "oh, that's fucking attractive".

Then I finally reclined and went back to sleep for a few minutes.

The End

1. Likely story, Lucky!

2. I have never tried any sort of mind altering substances other than wine, and

I've never been drunk because I fall asleep after a second glass of wine.

Even tho recreational marijuana is now legal in Illinois and I'm curious, my conditioning from early adulthood in the late 1960s-early 1970s to avoid illegal drugs remains so strong that I've not been able to overcome it.

Your description above is doing absolutely nothing to change my mind -

7. Well the ole "Avoid!!!" of the 60's & 70' didn't totally work on me...

Re alcohal too bad , being tipsy is kind a fun. Only once got queasy at an event. Was given bitters. It helped!

Funniest time. My sis, and I got drunk on free, good champaign at a posh Publishing related event at The Waldorf! Then we were going to go to a diner near by The Hudson River where the Cruise Ships docked.

There we were standing on the partition (not quite the right word) ?divider, on Park Ave - semi yelling drunkenly at each other on how to best get over there!
We did make it safely! 👍😄

Glad I got to try some good weed a few times via friends in the '70s.

Now that it's actually legal I probably can't bc of medicines. I should ask my people. If they (probably will) say "Nooo!" I certainly won't. I treasure the mostly good health I have!

It still would be a bit of an experience having something sooo preached against previously for decades - to walk casually into a store, and nowlegally buy a gummie.

Put on a bib and recline with a warm comforter. Enjoy!

4. Thanks!

That was thoroughly enjoyable. I've not done edibles, and I haven't heard if there are quality control problems or not.

9. That's happened to me too

Any extra stressors or tensions in your life right now?

10. Thanks, I needed a laugh..

[Buddyzbuddy]

11. Oh man, stop bragging and pass it around.

Did you bring enough for the whole class? I'm gonna need about 4 years worth. Never tried it but I'm ready and willing. LuckyCharms is going to be a whole new meaning.

12. I eat a CBD gummy every night for a sciatic problem.

I was going to my daughter's in a state where they are illegal so I went to the CBD store to buy more so I would not run out. The brand I always buy were out and the clerk gave me a some Delta gummies instead. Because I flew down, I missed supper and then I ate just a salad when I got to her house and drank a glass of wine with it. I then put on my jammies and since I had never eaten the kind I had purchased, I only ate half. I then went out and sat with my family in the back yard. My daughter poured me another glass of wine and I sipped about half of it while we talked. Then I noticed my daughter and two of my grandchildren were looking at me funny. I started feeling weird and decided I would just go to bed. I stood up and immediately fell back in my chair. My grand children helped me to my feet, helped me up onto the deck, into the house and tucked me in. The whole time they were saying things like "you will be ok in the morning" "just lay down and go to sleep grandma". I laid down and then the twitching started. My arms and leg kept twitching and I had no control to stop it. My daughter was afraid I might be having a stroke so took me to the hospital where she worked. First they did a cat scan of my brain, then they did an MRI. They took blood. The twitching started to ease when I heard my daughter mumble "Oh shit, not him". A doctor came into the room and said "When you do drugs you should not drink alcohol." in a snotty way. I started to say "I don't DO DRUGS" but he spun on his heel and left the room. My release record stated I was an alcoholic that also did drugs.
The next time I was at my regular doctor's office, when my doctor saw me he laughed and teased me the whole time I was there. But that is in my medical records. I threw those damn gummies away.

17. Sorry about the poor quality control on the gummies

I was higher than a kite during the inspection phase.

Please don't report me to OSHA.

Thank you.
