Sam's Edible Misadventure: The Tale of the Dangerous Brownie

Don: 00:00:00

Hey there, and welcome to another episode of Cannabis Stories where we share

Don: 00:00:04

the wild, funny, and sometimes downright bizarre tales from the world of weed.

Don: 00:00:08

Today’s story is about a first-timer’s high.

Don: 00:00:11

You know, that unforgettable experience when someone takes their first puff

Don: 00:00:14

of the magic herb and things...

Don: 00:00:16

well, they don’t exactly go as planned.

Don: 00:00:19

Sit back, relax, and enjoy this hilarious tale of Sam’s First Dance with Mary Jane.

Don: 00:00:25

So, let me set the scene for you.

Don: 00:00:27

Sam is your typical 30-something guy, a bit of a late bloomer when

Don: 00:00:30

it comes to the cannabis world.

Don: 00:00:32

He’s never really been into weed – not for any particular

Don: 00:00:35

reason, just never had the urge.

Don: 00:00:37

But after hearing all his friends rave about how relaxing it is and

Don: 00:00:41

how it can make a Friday night movie marathon ‘so much better,’ he decides,

Don: 00:00:45

What the heck, let’s give this a try.

Don: 00:00:48

Sam’s not one to dive headfirst into anything without a little research.

Don: 00:00:52

So, he reads up, asks a few friends, and settles on trying an edible.

Don: 00:00:56

Because, you know, smoking seems a bit intense for a first-timer, and edibles?

Don: 00:01:01

They’re just like a snack, right?

Don: 00:01:03

Now, here’s where things get interesting.

Don: 00:01:06

Sam’s friend, let’s call him Dave, is the self-proclaimed ‘weed guru’ of the group.

Don: 00:01:11

Dave gives Sam a brownie – a delicious, innocent-looking

Don: 00:01:14

square of chocolatey goodness.

Don: 00:01:16

And here’s the key detail: Dave says, ‘Sam, only eat half.

Don: 00:01:20

Trust me on this.

Don: 00:01:21

Edibles hit different.

Don: 00:01:23

But Sam – bless his cautious heart – decides to take it slow.

Don: 00:01:27

He cuts the brownie into quarters, figuring, ‘Hey, I’ll

Don: 00:01:30

start small and see how I feel.

Don: 00:01:32

So, Sam eats his tiny piece of brownie, sits back on the couch, and waits.

Don: 00:01:37

And waits.

Don: 00:01:38

And waits some more.

Don: 00:01:40

After about 45 minutes, nothing’s happening.

Don: 00:01:43

Sam’s just sitting there, feeling completely normal.

Don: 00:01:46

So, he thinks, ‘Okay, maybe this isn’t enough.

Don: 00:01:49

Maybe I need to eat more.’

Don: 00:01:51

You know where this is going, right?

Don: 00:01:53

So, Sam eats another quarter.

Don: 00:01:56

And then another.

Don: 00:01:57

And still, nothing.

Don: 00:01:58

At this point, he’s feeling a bit cheated.

Don: 00:02:01

He’s thinking, ‘What’s the big deal?

Don: 00:02:03

Why is everyone so hyped about this?

Don: 00:02:05

I don’t feel a thing

Don: 00:02:07

Another 30 minutes go by, and now Sam’s eaten the entire brownie.

Don: 00:02:11

Every last crumb.

Don: 00:02:13

And that, dear listeners, is when the universe decided to flip the switch.

Don: 00:02:17

Suddenly, it hits him.

Don: 00:02:19

Like a freight train.

Don: 00:02:21

Sam’s sitting on his couch when, out of nowhere, his body feels like

Don: 00:02:24

it’s melting into the cushions.

Don: 00:02:26

His arms are heavy, his legs are heavy, heck, even his thoughts are heavy.

Don: 00:02:31

He tries to get up, but gravity’s got him in a death grip.

Don: 00:02:34

Panic sets in – you know, that classic ‘Oh no, I’m too high’ moment.

Don: 00:02:39

And then, as if things weren’t bad enough, Sam’s stomach starts growling.

Don: 00:02:43

The munchies have arrived, and they’re demanding snacks.

Don: 00:02:46

But here’s the catch: Sam’s too high to move.

Don: 00:02:49

He’s staring at the kitchen like it’s miles away, knowing that

Don: 00:02:52

if he could just make it to the fridge, everything would be okay.

Don: 00:02:56

But the fridge might as well be on the moon.

Don: 00:02:58

Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Don: 00:03:01

Sam does the only thing he can think of – he calls Dave.

Don: 00:03:04

And the conversation goes something like this:

Ethan: 00:03:07

‘Dave...

Ethan: 00:03:08

I think I’m dying.

Henry: 00:03:10

‘What?

Henry: 00:03:11

What happened?

Ethan: 00:03:12

‘The brownie...

Ethan: 00:03:13

I ate the whole thing.

Henry: 00:03:15

Dude, I told you to eat half!

Henry: 00:03:17

How do you feel?

Ethan: 00:03:18

I can’t feel anything...

Ethan: 00:03:20

except hunger.

Ethan: 00:03:21

Help!

Don: 00:03:22

Dave, being the good friend he is, rushes over with a survival kit – chips,

Don: 00:03:27

cookies, and a gallon of orange juice.

Don: 00:03:29

Because, according to Dave, orange juice is the magical cure for being too high.

Don: 00:03:34

So there they are, Sam sprawled out on the couch, stuffing his face with

Don: 00:03:38

snacks while Dave tries to reassure him that he’s not, in fact, dying.

Don: 00:03:42

Eventually, Sam’s high starts to mellow out.

Don: 00:03:45

He’s no longer convinced that the couch is trying to eat him, and he

Don: 00:03:49

can finally move his limbs again.

Don: 00:03:51

The rest of the night is a blur – a mix of giggles, munchies, and that

Don: 00:03:55

deep, philosophical conversation about the universe that seems to

Don: 00:03:58

come naturally when you’re stoned.

Don: 00:04:00

By the next morning, Sam’s feeling back to normal, though a bit embarrassed.

Don: 00:04:05

He swears he’s never touching edibles again, but deep down, he

Don: 00:04:08

knows he’s got a story for the ages.

Don: 00:04:11

And that, my friends, is how Sam learned the golden rule of

cannabis: 00:04:14

respect the edible.

cannabis: 00:04:16

So, whether you’re a seasoned stoner or a curious newbie, just remember – start

cannabis: 00:04:20

slow, know your limits, and maybe have a friend like Dave on speed dial.
