Anybody else get sick from eating mj?

[TheGroBro]

I used to love to eat herb but now it kind of makes me nauseous. My usual method is using butter - doing the whole boil and strain thing. My resulting cookies have 0 pieces of weed in them and only a slight smell of it.

Also - I put a lot of weed into a little butter and was strict to the cookie recipe this time to make sure I wasn't just getting sick from using too much butter .. but I still get nauseous. Not enough to actually throw up but definetly enough to dampen the fun of the experience.

Anybody else? Is there another method worth trying? I might try one more time using something like hash oil or kiff . .just to see if it's something in the green weed that is making me ill.

The high is enough to make light weights sick, but I assume you are no light weight. Are you "priming" your stomach for what you are about to give it? or drinking coffee all day, and starving yourself so you get higher off the cookies? are you using a different strain of weed than prior?
when cooking with cannabis you have to get the thc to bond to something like that fat in butter. hence cooking it down with a stick of butter.

hmmm .. there might be something to that "prepping the stomach" bit ..because I do normally try to eat them on an empty stomach to increase the effects. I always use different strains but lately I've been using the same one . .maybe I need to change that up, too.

Some people also do just have weaker or more reacting stomachs than others. I have a pretty weak stomach, and sometimes I think it is a good thing because it keeps me from trashing my health more.

Exactly what KABBAGE said, “Eating on an empty stomach because you want a better high.”
My problem was very similar I ate too much looking for the best high. Your body expels things that it finds are not conducive to good health (too bad that doesn’t work for fast food). I have eaten MJ (empty stomach) went out for the night with no effects at all(no high) get home and have a bite to eat wham, it hits the system all at once and Ralph and I become good friends. That’s why MJ is great an OD merely leaves you in the toilet not the graveyard.

I find that ingesting cannabutter messes with my sense of balance far more than vaping does. I've gotten quite dizzy before just by leaning my head back and closing my eyes while on the stuff, which made me feel nauseated. Is it possible that vertigo--as opposed to a digestive problem--is making you feel sick? Or a combination of the two? You might try keeping your head upright and avoiding any activities that might cause dizziness. Cannabutter is also known to cause upset stomach, gas, and halitosis in some people.
