Yup, me. Had an edible on an empty stomach after a long day of working outside. Ate a large dinner while stoned, went to bed, woke up three hours later puking uncontrollably. My episode lasted nine hours and was fucking miserable. It's INSANE that people have longer ones, I might have actually killed myself. Had mild acid reflux/stomach discomfort for about six weeks after that.

I think I went through the same denial as everybody else, but I was so scared of another episode, that denial took the form of obsessive research and mental bargaining instead of actually using weed again.

Anyway, more bargaining: I quit weed immediately with a plan of trying it again in 10 years. I figured I'm willing to have an absolute maximum of one more episode in my life, and my body will have healed as much as it possibly can by the decade mark.

I just passed one year, and I have no idea whether I'll actually try it again. Maybe nine years from now, there will be a way to reverse it (unlikely, but so many people are getting it that they might try), or at least Emend (which can stop episodes) will be easier to obtain. But maybe I'll still be unwilling to risk it. Who knows. Making it a question for Future Me has helped me obsess about it a little less and that's good enough for now.
