I took THC-C8 24 hours ago, here's my experience.

So let me first say the this was in a blend I was making yesterday. I'm making this blend to vape, but in this instance I ate it. Here's the blend:

69% D9 "THCa" distillate

10% THC-C8

7% H4CBD

7% CBC

7% Sour Space Candy Terps

5 grams total

So while mixing I cleaned my mixing rod by soaking it in a few milliliters of everclear to dissolve all the stuck on distillate, once after mixing everything but the terpenes, and once again after adding terps. The first rinse there was about 50mg of blend, and the second was 20-30mg. So there was 70-80mg of the blend dissolved in this small amount of alcohol, 50mg of it is a little more concentrated due to the lack of terpenes. Also it should be noted that my scale is cheap and not very accurate at this low of a weight so not everything is 100% accurate, but close. Anyways I drank this alcohol which probably contained around 8mg of THC-C8, and around 50mg of D9. 40mg of D9 is about the minimum I ever take so it was a good baseline.

Now on to what happened. Around 75-90 minutes after ingestion I started to feel the normal D9 high, but it was a little stronger, a little different. I could tell I was in for something stronger. The high kept getting stronger and stronger over the next few hours. It started off pretty euphoric, with a heavy yet pleasant body load. In my notes on the experience I described it as a kind of like a weighted blanket. There was a lot of tingles through out my body, especially in the face, behind the eyes, the top of the head, and my arms and fingers. There was a what I can only describe as head noise, like a ringing in the ears, but not unpleasant, kind of an electric feeling. Nice balanced mental state, not a lot of anxiety. I could have been creative, but lacked the motivation. It was a very typical indica type experience, but it kept getting stronger.

At around 3 and half hours it started getting a little trippy, both figuratively and literally. Colors got a little sharper and I got a bit of tunnel vision with blurring in my peripherals. I also started to have some minor, yet not insignificant issues with my balance. Stumbled a bit a few times. My mental state also started to get a little hazier here. This lasted for most of the remainder of the experience. I wouldn't classify this as a psychedelic experience, but it was an experience. Probably the most intense experience I've ever had with cannabinoids.

At about 4 and a half hours in I was getting tired so I drank a pepsi. I rarely drink caffeine so any amount will help me stay awake. From this point I continued to get a little higher and speculate that I hit my plateau at around the 5-6 hour point. At around 10 hours in I started "coming down" and started trying to go to sleep. Laid in bed high as fuck for a couple hours and fell asleep at around the 12 hour mark.

Woke up 4 hours later "hungover". Everything had been pretty euphoric until I woke up. I was super groggy and still an uncoordinated mess. Took about 100mg of CBD/CBG CRD and have been taking it easy. Luckily I didn't have to work today. Right now after 24 hours I'm mostly back to normal. It never felt that bad, but it had a bit of a rough landing.

I'm kind of worried about vaping this blend and may add more of everything except the C8 to dilute it a bit. I'll probably do a couple test dabs after it's steeped a while and decide from there. This stuff is no joke, but I really enjoyed it. Definitely not for daily use.
