May Have Been Roofied? Please Help. [UP: Not Roofied; Knowingly Consumed Edibles] (READ STAFF POST)

Is this your first time with Edibles? Edibles are really strong.
Call an Uber next time for Christ sakes.

Edibles can vary in strength. It makes no sense to say they are very strong.
Yeah. I calculated the BAC that two Mike's would result in, two hours after consumption.
I mean, the legal limit in the U.S. puts drivers at a 2.5 times higher risk of being involved serious traffic accidents compared to driving sober. So I'd say it's definitely too lax. The Swedish limit kicks in before any increase in traffic risk. Which I'm personally more comfortable with.
People getting banned for "hostility" when the person to whom they're being "hostile" drove home under the influence. Don't wanna hurt his feelings, I guess.
That person made a joke about getting roofied and raped. They deserved it.
Edit: Unless you're talking about someone else I didn't see.
I also don't understand this. Calling someone out (if a bit harshly) over something as provenly dangerous as driving under the influence of some type of substance and you're really gonna catch a ban. Ok.
No, people got banned for these posts:
I have to agree with this one. Doubly so for trying something new for the first time.
Also, don't do drugs and drive. This is basic stuff and you should know better by now. People die all the time because folks under the influence think "It could never happen to me."

That particular ban can stand. There have been more than one, however, some who have done little more than rebuke OP for their poor decision-making.
Feels like an overreaction to this thread, except this is a case where the OP absolutely deserves the shit they're being given.
I went to the moon on a combination of edibles and vapeibles last night. Got scared that someone removed my dinner from my stomach, so I ate more and marathoned some Bob's Burgers.
Was I roofied also?

This really isn't true. People drunk drive when they know they shouldn't be driving.
Yep, I don't understand this either.
Are we gonna be supporting people doing reckless stuff? Wtf Era? The implications are really bad here...
You'll notice that the thread is filled with people calling out OP for their decisions and behaviour but most are unbanned. There's a clear difference between "OP that was a dumb decision, don't do it again" and "fuck you OP you piece of shit". Especially after OP has already acknowledged that what they did was wrong. It's completely unnecessary.
Like, what does insulting OP like that actually achieve?
FYI you can criticize someone's actions without calling them a piece of shit
You honestly can't see a difference between not supporting reckless people and saying fuck you you piece of shit? Seriously?
Okay that's fair enough, I guess I'm jaded to reading those personal attacks as I ignore those aspects
Mikes hard lemonade shouldn't put him over the limit if he waited two hours.
Err on the side of caution when trying any new drug the first time. And strong or not, don't get behind the wheel after taking them.
What a roller coaster of a thread....don't ever do drugs and drive ever again. You could easily kill yourself or a lot of other people.
And don't assume that it takes 1-2 hours to kick in like some have in this thread. Depends on the person, the strength, the style of edible etc.
I've had ones that took 90 minutes and I've had ones that take 10-15min.
Make him think about the consequences of his actions, perhaps? Placid, half-assed criticisms only do so much to inspire genuine change.

Addendum: It has been pointed out that driving while under the influence of weed can still lead to a DUI and is still dangerous. This is a fair point and we apologize for the oversight -- this wasn't okay. The OP has acknowledged wrongdoing so please keep the discussion constructive to help him and others avoid this mistake.
I've been roofied. Let me navigate to resetera a create a post and type "self explanatory", instead of texting 911 "HELP". But wait, it's edibles, I ate it and I'm just high as fuck. Disregard me lolz, don't send cops pls.
Hope you're better now, OP. ♥

But again, OP already knows that what he did was wrong.
And what are you saying, that insulting someone is the only way for your criticism to get through? That's nonsense. There's absolutely no need to pop into a thread and just drop a "you're a piece of shit OP" post.
Word. Hence folks should be prepared to take an Uber if they're going to indulge in that stuff. Especially for the first time.
Driving while high/during a drug session does pose a serious threat to other drivers on the road. OP got lucky.

Not the only way for criticism to hit home, no. I believe that the level of vitriol should be appropriate to the level of the offense. Consuming edibles and driving home, to me, should earn a good slap in the face by reality. "Don't do that again, OP," doesn't really cut it for me. My wife and I got sideswiped a couple of Thanksgivings by a fucking drunk, so I really, truly hope his friends and family were more critical than making frowny faces and suggesting he not drive drunk again.
I ain't calling OP a piece of shit, but I don't blame others who do.
this is bizarre to me to say the least.
You say that you don't believe the OP posed a serious threat to other road users yet the first post of the thread doesn't portray a logical and fully functioning mindset sober enough to be behind the wheel of a few tonnes of metal!
They were clearly freaking out and not thinking straight, that's a huge threat to other people on the road
It's one of the more troubling staff posts I have seen on this website.
Come on, you can't honestly believe driving after eating edibles doesn't constitute being a risk on the road a pretty serious one at that.
That is absolutely ridiculous.
Sidebar: Problem is that mentality turns the forum into a cesspool cause everyone feels justified in insulting other posters over every perceived slight. And trust me I know what you mean about drunk drivers. My mom never did heal right after being slammed by one and she still has painful days. It sucks.
That being said the mod team's renewed focus on toning down the hostility on this forum Is a good thing. It was ridiculous.
