Psychic Meltdown with weed brownie. Need help

OK so I'm not a big toker, I'm trying to keep it at once per week and I had tried edibles about 4 times before. I remember the first time was a brownie and I did have crazy paranoia, the other 3 times were cookies and it was fun and couldn't stopped laughing, but nothing compared to what happened this morning with a piece of brownie a friend made:

I basically had a panic attack at the beginning, it was super strong, I called an uber, at times I felt like dancing to the music but when I got home it was so overpowering.

I started thinking only negative stuff, I saw myself in the mirror and saw a 36 year old who wants to be young forever but it is aging and is starting to look like an old man, disgusting, living in his parent's fancy apartment who looks like a caricature to people. Super negative, is this normal? or was I accurate?

Then everything started to melt, reality started to become fragments, I saw everything as a boring repetitive wave pattern, and fractals, as if reality itself was a bad joke but the reality was just boring mathematical repetitive quantum shit.

I couldnt focus anymore, couldnt get a glass of water, couldnt get the light switch, reality would fragment and I could not keep anything coherent.

And in terms of hallucination, this was poweful, I saw everything melting, I saw what a DMT trip would supposed to be if it had a negative connotation, everything had a negative connotation.

I had a near DMT breakthrough 2 weeks ago and I freaked out a bit but nothing compared to this weed brownie, it was as if I did achieve the breakthrough but one with a negative connotation, as seeing everything from a hellish chaotic vision.

I feel like I should not try weed again, but I do recon it had to do with the brownie, I don't think smoking could ever get me this way but I would be very careful.

Is this normal? Was it the reality what I saw? Or is it a bad weed induced reality? Can I safely smoke joints without repeating this nightmare?

It can be normal with a high enough dose; not a function of "bad weed" reality it's your own mental environment. I've never had such effects with smoking/dabbing/hash but yeah a few times with high conc. edibles.

I dont like the feeling of overdoing edibles, but your experience would be the last time i ate any.
If you are still living with your folks at 36, you should get your shit together, and get the hell out of there.
It will be the last. I-m not living with them but the apartment is theirs and I pay little maintenance. I could rent one of my own but in a crappy part of town and not save to buy one in the future, I had thought about it and it seemed the most reasonable solution but under the brownie influence I wasnt sure anymore, but everything I felt about myself was super negative and it seems my friends and family don't feel this way about me.

Agreed with the get your shit together man, statement. No fun depending on others like that for no good reason(?). That could and most likely does have more to do with your level of negativity than the weed bro. Also, if you're simultaneously trying to have "a breakthrough" by doing DMT, that could be the reason for this bad trip you just had, not the thc.... Quit that shit, and go have a real breakthrough without drugs.

In terms of overdosing on pot, a few years back, my girlfriend and i got accidentally dosed with actual medicated chocolates at the Denver County Fair of all places, the first year they put on a marijuana industry show floor area (21+ booth display area, and vendors were not supposed to have anything thc in their samples, just stickers and info and shit. However, at one booth, the stoner dispensary employees mixed up their boxes... They were giving out free chocolate samples, telling people to take as many as they want (it was a picnictable with a ~3ft tall pyramid of chocolates), so i immediately ate 4 or 5, my girlfriend ate maybe three. Later, I didn't feel that good, but my GF's blood pressure was dropping, cold hands, pale skin, dizzyness, and a touch of "i think I'm gonna faint" nausea at moments, but no visions of the world ending... The next morning, it was all over the local Denver news, because apparently three people (nubes from out of town) had eaten a bunch too, but they actually checked into emergency rooms thinking they were dying/losing it. There was a class-action lawsuit the following week. Dumb-ass dispensary employees.....

There's also a pretty hilarious video on the interwebs of a cop who kept some ganja from a bust he made, and when he smoked or ate some later that day, had a psychotic episode. The 911 phone call is a classic...

^ Agree. Sounds like you got dosed with something else, how well do you know the person who gave you the edible?

I don't like getting too high with edibles. It last so damn long. If you get to fucked up smoking, you know you will be coming down soon. Not the case with edibles. What I like to do when hiking {or anytime smoking isn't easy}, is to eat like half a cookie or whatever. Then take a hit now and again during the day to kick it up a notch when needed.

In high school I did a lot of acid.. after a while I started to have bad trip after bad trip. The problem was that it carried over to weed. I would smoke a bowl and it was like I was trippin all over again and not in a good way... I quit smoking weed for 10 years. I eased my way back into it... I consider myself a heavy smoker.
With all that being said, I don't mess with edibles. Those things will get you for sure and as Larry mentioned, it'll last a while.

I chowed a brownie on my second hike up Mt Kahahdin. Awesome trip.
Legs didnt realize what was going on till the way down.

It lasted for hours, heavy tripping for 3 hours at least until I felt sleep or lose consciousness after throwing up everywhere, cold showers, etc.
Could it be that edibles are as strong as Ayahuasca, dmt, mushroom trips, etc?

A question that bothered me: If I die childless who's going to take care of me? How does that work? Do you intern yourself in a house for the elderly?

I read somewhere not all that long ago, that cruises full time are cheaper than elderly care. Meals and a drink are comp't

And this is how plant medicines work...
They remove the blinkers and let us face facts for what they are.
They allow us to make better choices, to improve our self-esteem
They allow us to heal.

Cannabis is the most psychedelic substance I know --- When it wants to be.
Not even acid comes close in those moments.

OK this is what I wanted to hear because. I had been wanting to have a breakthrough with dmt and in the end I am perfectly sure I achieved it with THC although it was a negative breakthrough, and my guru told me it had to do with my relationship problems I'm having right now. This had happened before and I had told myself I should not consume THC while breaking up, I should have listened to myself.

I've noticed too that THC builds up and does increase anxiety over time, at least in me.

And yes, what I saw was completely psychedelic, it was the same as navigating in hyperspace but with an ego instead of ego death, which was terrifying.

There is no such thing... your problem is just perspective.
My best DMT trip was about 5 minutes after my worst one... it was a test of sorts.
It was certainly a test, over the last week I had been listening to stories about positive and negative breakthroughs with different psychedelics, and what I wanted was to achieve it without the negativity. And in the end I achieved it negatively with a weed brownie. Meaning this is what they wanted to show me, I now have the experience of a really shitty trip, I dont think it would get shittier than that because they say that spiritually in all areas in life they only give you so much shit you can handle and no more.

But other than that, I just learned to not be so negative and have a positive outcome, it feels different because normally, before this incident, all of my understanding after coming back from a trip always came with a lot of euphoria and inspiration, this time, I learned through all the shit I went through.

So yes, weed is powerful, it is really powerful.
