To be exact, it was dope oil that I used sublingually and yes, I clearly took too much.
There's your problem. Taking marijuana in edible form gives you a different high than smoking/vaping it. Edibles take longer to kick in (1-2 hours) and the high lasts longer (several hours). One time I took an edible and I felt the effect for nearly 24 hours. Luckily I had no real plans the next day. Other times I barely felt anything.
Smoking/vaping kicks in faster (10 minutes), the high wears off sooner (2-4 hours), and generally the level of highness is more predictable. Also, you can control your dose more easily when smoking/vaping and quit when you've had enough, whereas with edibles you don't really know how strong they are. Even Snoop Dogg is not a big fan of edibles for this reason, despite the fact that he sell his own line of edibles. In his words, edibles don't have an off switch.
So, you get stoned? What is you experience?
When I get high, sometimes I feel anxiety, but most of the time it's just general relaxation and happiness, then eventually sleepiness, so I usually smoke at night. I also feel that time is slowing down, which is nice if you are stressed out or busy.
If you do decide to give weed another shot, try smoking/vaping instead of edibles. Also, if you do feel anxiety, try watching a movie or TV show that you find familiar, comforting, and/or funny.
