My adult kid ate an edible, freaked out, and called his mom. That's me.

Everyone's fine. He was way too high and also panicked and not in a great place mentally before he ate the edible.
But I needed to put this somewhere.
And I kind of want to shout to the parents of little ones, "OH YEAH?!?" But that's stupid and petty.
He's an otherwise great young adult who usually makes good decisions.
Thank you for listening.

I actually love this, OP. I'm so glad you have the kind of relationship where his first call when he freaked out was to you - and that he knew he could trust you to be helpful and not freak out in turn.

Good job.

Scary for both of you. I hope he's learned his lesson.

What's an edible? You don't mean fruit arrangement thing, right?

My 62-year-old mother texted me when she was freaking out on an edible. So it goes both ways. LOL.

OP here. He ate too much of the ol' marijuanas.

And thanks, everyone. I guess this is a sign of a good relationship.

DH did the same thing. He said it was extremely scary and he thought he was overdosed and on the brink of death. It happens.

I hope he decides to forego the partying in the future. It's okay to not partake. I also love that he thought of you and you had his back. I hope you can joke about it together someday soon.

And he just had a safe yet highly unpleasant encounter that will likely put him off of drug use in the future. And he trusts you and called you for help, because you have a good relationship. Not sure why the need for an “oh yeah?” at parents of young kids.

Oh my.

If it helps, I had way too much one time when I was 19. It definitely made me a lot more careful. I would barely touch it after that.

Huh? What do parents of little kids have to do with any of this? Did you know that life is not a competition? And hey, if you want a gold star for having a harder life than me, here ya go! Here's your gold star! I'm glad to admit other people have it harder than me!

Relax, Karen. He just needs to eat a smaller amount next time.
