This is me. I got a bag of old weed from a friend who had stopped smoking years ago. I had never smoked a blunt in my life, and wasn't a regular smoker either. So I did what any reasonable person would do abd turned it into a science experiment.

It was the late nineties and info on such matters freely flowed on the net. After some research, I decided to first produce hash oil, then make cookies from that. The process involved a lot of acetone and was pretty scary, and I would not try that again. I got some fine looking resin, and made the cookies. Then I tried one, and waited. Now, remember the guy who gave the weed to me said it was ages old and probably lost its effect. So I did what any reasonable person would do, and ate all of the cookies. You know, to make sure Id get at least some experience out if it.

The experience then started and lasted some 16 hours or so. It was weird seeing these strange cartoons play out before my eyes with them being fully open, and it was scary seeing my lungs pump air a few feet outside of my body, but other then that , it was quite an adventure. One I never repeated.

Or my experience: exist in semi-conscious state for 10 hours seeing nothing but acid-etched still images while praying I'm not the first Marijuana overdose death.

Good news is it's virtually impossible to overdose on zaza. You'd need to smoke hundreds of kilos in a matter of minutes.

Well, and my wife had it just as bad but was throwing up. She nearly passed out with her head in the toilet. Not technically death by weed, but more or less...

As opposed to?

As opposed to the sixties when there was still a stigma around the Internet, so people didn't use it as much. : D

I literally laughed out loud. Well, not too audibly, but still. Forcibly exhaled, let's say.
