By the time my friends got me out I was in a nightmarish world and literally thought I was going to die. Definitely the definition of a 'bad trip', so that was my last forray with any mind altering experimentation. Though hats off to people for whom it works.
Wow and last weekend was the Nimbin mardi grass.
Tho "just a few cookies" is actually as shitload, if they're made properly. You should always go easy with cookies especially if you aren't into pot. Once you ingest them the only way to lower the dose is to vomit before the THC gets absorbed. By the time you realise you've had too much its usually too late. Better off having half of one till you see how it kicks in.
I love bad trips myself.
Also the party could have been the problem not you and the cookies... not that it matters now. Someone should have told you this before the party.

Thats fair enough tho. I used to get paranoid sometimes. I'd make myself go into crowds - peak hour on public transport in melbourne to force myself to get over it. That was interesting. It worked but I was never that paranod. I know people who have stopped smoking cos they really got fucked with by their own paranoia.
There are some people pot fucks with and they don't react well to it. Some lose the plot. I've had disagreements with people here (most of whom I could probably smoke under the table) about the fact that some people have psychotic episodes as a result of smoking. I don't think its a causal thing but its definitely a trigger. Maybe thats the deal with AJ.
Or maybe he sees the darkness in his own soul and can't deal with it. After all imo he is a classic "sell out" and in a field where selling out is slightly more sus than doing so in the mainstream. And he defends Neo-Nazi child killers - hardly a position that you'd want to subject to some serious self analysis.
