When You Forget You Took an Edible: 5 Relatable Signs

The moment it happens, you know it. When you forget you took an edible earlier and then wonder why a third of a joint has you acting like a secret agent — the edible didn’t forget about you. This Herbistry420 short captures that experience perfectly, and if you’ve ever said “forgot I took an edible” mid-sesh, you’ve probably lived a version of this story.

The Story: When You Forget You Took an Edible

Fordee was testing a recipe — infused watermelon Jell-O inside a watermelon — for a channel video. The recipe didn’t look right on camera, so the video got scrapped. But the Jell-O? Still very much infused and edible. He ate about a third of it and moved on, not thinking much of it since he didn’t think he’d made it that strong.

Later, he heads outside to hang with a friend, smokes about a third of a joint, and suddenly he’s sideways. Really sideways. Hiding-in-the-shadows, James Bond spy moves sideways. His first thought: how is a third of a joint doing this? Then the realization hit — it wasn’t the joint at all. When you forget you took an edible, it waits patiently. And then it finds you at the worst moment.

5 Signs You Forgot You Took an Edible

1. A small amount hits way harder than expected. One small puff, one bite of something else, and suddenly you’re completely floored. That’s not the current thing doing it — that’s the edible from two hours ago finally showing up.
2. You get paranoid in situations that normally don’t bother you. Walking somewhere simple and feeling watched? Checking if the coast is clear before crossing the street? Classic sign — you forgot I took an edible earlier and the full dose has arrived.
3. You can’t figure out why you’re hungry again. You ate. You ate again. The fridge looks like the greatest thing on earth. The edible is working overtime on your appetite.
4. Time starts moving strangely. You check your phone — only 10 minutes have passed but it felt like 45. Or an hour has gone by and you’re sure it’s been 15 minutes. Welcome to edible time dilation.
