AI description: Bhaang (or Bhang) is a traditional, edible cannabis preparation from India, made from the leaves of the Cannabis sativa plant, known for its mild psychoactive effects and historical use in Ayurvedic medicine and festivals like Holi, often consumed as a paste or drink (like thandai) but generally considered less potent than other cannabis forms.

 

> It’s commonly mixed with Lassi, typically an extremely sweet and sugary yogurt drink. Calling it Bhaang Lassi. 

 

Bhaang Trip Report

Date: January 11th 2025

Dose: Eyeballed what was roughly 25% of the original ball of Bhaang. People will take an entire ball of this stuff as a normal dose. I would have been MegaFucked if I did that. Thank God Leo’s teachings towards psychedelics encouraged people to start low. I took that seriously. (See picture)

Context: When I was solo travelling in India, I came across some Bhaang in Udaipur. I’m very stringent on taking any substances. Especially as suspicious as this. After doing what research I could do on the substance, I saw it was “just weed.” 

“So it’s weed hey? Sure why not, a small dose of this couldn’t hurt.” I thought. 

 

This amount I took was considered a really low dose. For me, it was not a low dose at all. Holy Fuck!

 

Time: Taken at 4:10pm

• 30 minutes, noticing a Comeup
• 38 minutes You know, like how the dose ramps up in waves? Felt the next wave here.
• 41 minutes - wave
• 46 minutes - wave
• Thinking cognition is slowing down 
• 57 minutes feeling lots of activation in the brain. 
• 1h 4 min - wave 
• 1h28min - Experiencing a Peak in consciousness. More acutely aware of the headless nature of reality. 
• 2h in, STRONG peak
• 2h 7 minutes, significantly high as hell.

My consciousness is traumatically expanded. Scary forms of oneness.

 

What is will?

 

> So here I was beyond uncomfortably high. This is one of those “oh fuck” moments, because you are in a REALLY STONED state of consciousness, and you know you are going to be here for awhile. I was travelling solo in India, so the support I needed wasn’t there. Luckily, it was a good time to have a video call with my trusty trip sitter mom that was on the other side of Earth. I had her presence on video there to help ground me. I realized there was nothing that she could say or do. Just the presence of her on Video call while she was typing away working some office job was the best she could do. That video call of course only lasted an hour or so. 

 

• 4 h 3 minutes - Just noticed a release in weight.

What is metaphysics?

What is reality?

What is epistemology?

• > Here I was trying to use this fucked state of consciousness to SOME sort of use.
• 4 h 48 minutes - Slight release. 

 

> I remember being so high where I was trying to ask chatGPT if what I took was a lethal dose. I could not understand what ChatGPT was saying. I was too high to understand! So there I was just not knowing if I took a lethal dose.

 

15 hours in - I’M STILL HIGH THE NEXT MORNING

 

21h in - Still VERY High

 

> So I am in fucking India, right? and I had no idea where anything was, and I had to eat. And I was so high that I could not understand google maps enough to navigate to an ideal Restaurant for some food. Ideal restaurants were very far. So I picked one and made my journey to it. It turned out to be this rather high class restaurant. I received an appetizer that I didn’t like at all, and that I didn’t order, but I was so hungry I ate it anyways. I was genuinely confused, did they mess up my order? Was that what I ordered? Was my main dish still coming? How long is it going to take? How long it took for the food to arrive at my table, I don’t know. All I personally experienced was eternity. 

 

> I tried the whole time to keep my cool and “look normal.” This failed miserably, as it was abundantly obvious that I was high. An Indian man sitting at another table with his friends looked at me trying to ask if I was high. He ended up just saying to me “High high” while gesturing his hands down and up in the air. And I’m like “YEAH!” while nodding my head. At that point I found out how obvious my state of consciousness was. 

 

> The food does arrive, and I'm on a mission to eat this butter chicken that is too spicy for my tolerance. Food being too spicy was common in India, even if you asked for it to be not spicy. It would still be spicy.

 

> There was no fun on this trip, I was just getting through, waiting it out in eternity.

 

Two days later, I'm finally much more sober. 

 

Post trip report: 

Not a fun trip at all!

For 2 DAYS I experienced this brain dead retardation state of consciousness. It was chock-full of recurring infinite thought loops. There was no ability to grasp onto any coherent thought or sensemaking whatsoever. It was a complete derp state of consciousness. 

 

Never taking Bhaang again!

 

> I remember calling my friend that was halfway across the world about what was going on, and he was like “Broo you’re gonna be high for 2 days.” I didn’t believe him. 

> I was high for 2 days.

 

> I laugh now BECAUSE I’M okay, BECAUSE I got out of that situation unscathed. But that was a Bruh moment for sure. That was so dangerous for me. I was so vulnerable being a tourist in a foreign country. Weed is no fucking joke. I was high for over TWO FUCKING DAYS in a foreign country travelling alone!

 

End of Report.

What a nightmare 😅, glad you made it safe out of it

[Leo Gura]

Did you have any good insights at least?

Have you taken THC before? Sounds like you are very sensitive to it, like me.

A big hit of weed can make me trip for 12+ hrs.

I admit I laughed out loud to this because I said the same exact thing the first time I overdosed on edibles and it got a big laugh from the crowd I was in.

Thanks for sharing!

I cannot recall much, most of it is a blur. There was no really coherent thought process. My mind was acting like a visual of recursion in the most incoherent way. Sensemaking went out the window. Thought loops out the wazoo. It was very much an experiential thing. Perhaps scary forms of oneness is about all I could recall. 

I have taken THC before a handful of times, and I am very sensitive to it. A 10mg edible will knock me off my feet, and I've done 20-25mg as my highest dose. This was definetly significantly higher. Next time I'd do the size of a match head.

I'm starting to believe being sensitive to weed is more common than initially estimated. And I think the impacts of THC are intensified if you are a avid psychonaught and deconstruct reality a lot as well.

Taking a psychedelic while in a foreign country can be very unsettling.

After the peak, did you get reactivations as if you were going to trip hard like you would at peak?

Gosh, 10 mg is already too much!

Just imagine being so high for 2 days where your only job was to just lay down and exist in time distorted eternity until it's over.

Gosh, I don't want to imagine.

5 mg lasted me about a day, and still then I would have reactivations for a few days.

I'm glad you're ok.

Then why'd you eat a big clump of weed??

• I lacked experience with eating weed directly like this. I had gummies and chocolate. So I'm actually disconnected from understanding how much of the physical plant would do what. 
• I also heavily conformed to group think. Believing that "it wasn't gonna be that much." I even fought for a lighter dose despite being met with heavy judgement of "you're not gonna feel much with that." 
• It started from a golf-ball size dose which was "the typical dose,"  and I took an eighth of that. 
• I also lacked finding sufficient information on Bhaang. 
• I was also depressed and was open to taking something for an insightful trip.
• In my mind I didn't think weed was the majority of the ball, like it was 80% other herbs. 

In essence, I didn't think that amount of Bhaang was going to impact me that much. 

So basically poor sensemaking all around.

This is my experience.  Edible cannabis provides me the same benefits as psychedelics albeit from a slightly different headspace for lack of a better term.  I think the classical psychedelics had to do their thing first for the weed to work though.
