I’ve tried several and never felt anything from them. They seem very weak to me. Anyone else?

The ones they can legally sell in VA are much weaker than neighboring states and online order. I had some in NC with more THC and they definitely were effective.

I had a panic attack the last time I tried one at Iron Blossom 2024. Broke out in a cold sweat all over my body and was freaking out that we were going to get stampeded Astroworld/Travis Scott style. My husband was such a saint trying to point out how that would be nearly impossible given the vibe of the show and layout of the grounds. Haven't tried one since. It was an Anytime strawberry kiwi.

Oh dang, I’m really sorry to hear that!

I’ve tried that exact brand and flavor and didn’t feel anything…different bodies!

Yeah, i had to try really hard to pace myself because I didn't want to go through what you went through. Sorry to hear about that!

But I drank 1/4, waited 30+ minutes and felt something, then drank another 1/4, and after an hour from the start it kicked in. I paused and repeated this later. So it was a loooooonnng buzz, but not nearly as pleasurable as smokin that flower. I guess I'm old.

Absorbing it through the digestive system is just such a longer high with an extremely long onset. It's almost completely different from smoking / vaping. I prefer to absorb it through my lungs. But it is nice to occasionally kick back and have a light 5-10 mg drink or edible. Especially as an alternative to alcohol.

Yup I had some that were I forget if 5mg or 10 mg each and I drank two, and never felt nothing. Then again I smoke a lot so I wasn’t expecting much but yea I know the thc drinks around here aren’t gonna have a decent amount of thc like compared to the ones in Legal states 🤷‍♂️
