I'm in my mid 40s and did not try any sort of "pot" until January of 2019. Some friends had moved back from San Francisco and they were loaded up with edibles.
I tried a 10mg Sativa gummy, and seriously, it changed my life. I did it on an empty stomach, and didn't really feel anything for almost two hours. Then I started to feel warm down my spine, and time started to slow down. I felt tired all of a sudden, so I laid down, and that's when things really got going.
My wife was in the shower listening to music, and my eyes were closed, and I was drifting. All of a sudden I was hearing the music in two different ways. In one ear it was regular, in the other ear, it was playing backwards. Then I found the music would speed up, then slow down.
Random images appeared and disappeared, snippets of funny situations would just pop in my mind. The whole time I was still aware of where I was and that I was "high", but if I just let my self drift, I found it to be a great journey.
Since then I have graduated to 20mg of "fast acting" Sativa, and I generally can start feeling it in 30 to 45 minutes. The experience has changed a bit, now I experience what I swear are snapshots of memories from WAY in my past, like 3 years old for instance. And then those snapshots get translated to something I can "feel" with my mind (as in touch feeling). The feel then causes some other random memory snapshot to appear, and the cycle repeats.
I really believe that it is helping the depression I had been feeling and I also feel that it is helping me be more creative. It's just allowing my brain to drift on static and to see what is in there.
Oh, the best is the feeling. I get these warm pulses of energy that flow up and down my spine, and my whole body feels like there are electrical pulses going through it. Totally awesome.
I do find that I feel stuffy in the morning though. It's not like an alcohol hangover, but there is definitely some sort of "hangover" affect.
