On the brownie topic...my bassist and I split one the other night and had a few beers. In the past we've had great success with splitting one three ways and then going out and having a few beers. This time we split it in half and just sat around watching Always Sunny. It took quite a while to hit, but the moment it did I knew it was too much. I've had the entire brownie a few times in the past, but when I do that I just lie down, turn off the lights, and put on some music, because that's all I'm capable of handling at that point. Half a brownie didn't fuck me up that hard, but it was too much. After an hour or two I just passed out.
Knowing how much to take is so essential.
