TIFU by eating my dad's candy.
Let me preface this by saying this was infact a year ago not today.
My brother had a destination wedding and he and my SIL got married on May the 4th for a starwars themed wedding. Adorable I love them and they are perfect together.
We were fortunate enough that my parents rented a air bnb for the week that my parents, me, my husband, daughter, other brother, other SIL and nephews were able to share so we only had to worry about plane tickets. First night in we dropped out kid off to get some sleep as it was so far past her bedtime and we went out to party with the soon to be Wed couple.
The wedding ended up being during the middle of a music fest so the streets were insane. At one point there was a woman smoking a cigarette talking on the phone, paused to vomit on the sidewalk right in front of us and then continued to smoke and resume her conversation like nothing happened.
Needless to say I had a head ache the next morning. No one came prepared with pain killers so I sought-after my pops who is identical to Jerry Garcia to ask for some THC free CBD to help with the pounding in my head. He told me to help myself and I raised the bag I assumed to be the self medication and without looking up from his book he said "yeah that's it!"
I should preface this by saying I can't handle weed. I become a full on anxious head case.
30 minutes later the whole family is going to lunch and I start feeling weird. Suddenly I need to change into a full sweatsuit in 90 degree weather and my skin feels suffocating but we go to walk to lunch anyway.
At this point I have realized something is up. Im trying my best to listen to my SIL and respond like a normal person while keeping a low profile and trying not to freak out when I run into a telephone pole because I was constrating too hard on eye contact and not hard enough on where I was going. Mortifying. My brother and husband are ruthless and I still hear about it a year later.
The restaurant was not better. I started full on panicking and I had a hard time reading the menu and I was trying to rehearse my drink order. I whisper to my husband "I think I'm high" and he laughs. Profoundly unhelpful.
Finally we leave. I ask my dad "i thought you said the cbd candy didn't have and THC I feel high"
He says "the CBD has no... wait you ate the candy?"
These candies were .5mg weed candies so the rest of the walk back is full of.
"You overdosed on a microdose" thanks dad
My brother touching me with a feather plant and saying he saw a spider
And cackling from a 10 person group for a mile walk back to the air bnb.
Anyway I finally rallied because my brother doesn't live in my state and we planned on drinking. So I made myself sick on buttery nipples at a dive bar and we went full circle.
TL;DR: gave myself a hangover, took cbd to help the headache, it was weed, Jerry Garcia laughed at me, gave myself a hangover
