I Tripped

[moon_custafer]

Yesterday, for the first time in my nearly forty-eight years on this Earth, I tried an edible. I’d heard you were supposed to eat only a little bit, then wait twenty minutes to see how I felt before having any more, etc.

It turns out it takes me two hours to feel the effects. By which time, I’d consumed both mini-cupcakes. It also turns out several things I’d assumed were cliches or metaphors are quite accurate. I did, in fact, spend a lot of the next three and a half hours thinking about wizards and galaxies, and waving my arms in the air to watch the afterimages. And infodumping about historical facts, although I’m not sure if that’s as common.

It frightened Andrew to see me like that (he’s used to me being the reliable anchor in the household) and I promised him not to do it again.

In any case the three and a half hours felt like several days, so it got a bit boring after a while. I felt like I wanted to return with my findings, but I kept having to go through the sensation of constantly waking up from a dream.

I am informed that is the standard failure mode of edibles. I am glad you are all right.

The funny thing is that I went in *knowing* that’s the usual mistake, and it still happened, because I expected it would take a while to kick in, but I didn’t expect it to take two hours.
