What have you been most tempted to do but never gone through with?

Agreed you can't OD on pot, but fyi I don't smoke regularly at all and my friends brought over pot brownies one night that resulted in what felt like the death of my body, conscience, and self-respect.

It all began one night where our friends showed up with a special surprise; pot brownies! I ate a good sized one (being over 6', assuming I needed more). We waited about 45 mins before getting ready to leave for dinner and I still felt nothing. This lead to what I have determined was the moment of no return.

I ate another half a brownie. After that, we went out to a 6 person dinner, meeting up with 2 more friends that did not partake in the activities. Fast fwd 1 hour, things are pretty funny. I'm smiling ear to ear and feel good. Everything now sounds hilarious to me internally. I'm cracking up at everything inside, with a permanent joker grin on my face. I recall the waiter being very confused/off-put about what was so funny regarding the steak special. That lasted a good 20 mins, but then all of a sudden I started a long journey into my mind.

I could only stare forward while deep in my thoughts. Everything began to slow down. I felt like someone was pushing down on my shoulders and neck, and that I was slouching onto the restaurant table. Meanwhile, my wife and friends all noticed that while it was physically there, I mentally entered a different realm. I remember hearing their voices, drawn out and deep. I tried to move my eyes beyond the one point I could look, but was unable. Heavier and heavier the pressure became on my shoulders. This all progressed for apparently about an hour or more of the meal. It felt like it had only been about 20 minutes to me.

Then, out of nowhere, one of my friends faces appeared right in front of my line of vision and belted out "DUDE! YOU LOOK REALLY PALE, ARE YOU OKAY!?" With that, in what felt like a very jarring manner, I jolted back to earth, and had an overwhelming feeling of sickness. I stood up and made straight to the restaurant's bathroom. It felt like I was casually floating, yet also traveling at the speed of light.

I walked/fell through the bathroom door just in time to release a projectile stream of vomit on the mirror, sink counter, sink, and floor. It all felt like a horrible dream. While recovering from the spasms created by the baked demon inside me, I tried my best to clean up the mess. Even with full attempts to hide the embarrassing progeny of the demon within, it was beyond repair. A mustard colored mural adorned the floor, sink wall, and mirror as if bizarro HGTV property brothers had appeared and fully redesigned the bathroom decor. I felt horribly guilty and still very sick.

Instead of returning to the table, my good friend walked outside with me where we walked in circular laps for what felt like hours. Later he told me we were out there for only about 15 minutes. As we walked together, I explained how I felt like I was watching my body, outside of my body, watching my body walk. To this day, I can't quite describe it. It was as if I saw a ghost shadow following my body, from a 3rd person perspective. But I knew it, and fluidly described it to my friend in great detail. Every time we would stop, I would feel an extreme bout of nausea coming back. So instead of stopping, we kept on the turtle paced marathon of walking in 10 ft diameter circles, while I profusely apologized to him.

Fast fwd to the drive home, we had to pull over 3 times for me to vomit on what I thought was the streets on the ride home, but later learned were actually roads in our neighborhood (cue more embarrassment). We made it inside our home and I took up residence on the cold bathroom floor where I threw up for 2 more hours before drifting off into a deep sleep of physical recovery. :(

Ps. I am a grown man, over 30 years old.

TLDR: eating pot brownies can turn into a disastrous journey to another dimension resulting in hours of vomiting once you return to earth. Sad face.
