Nick: “…I think they were booing because they pulled me…” That’s a common assumption there, Burt…😂

[@markdeitz7568]

Totally. I was a valet downtown Denver and half the time an ambulance was called to the hotel it was because a guest thought they were a glass of orange juice. People come to party and drink like normal in a higher altitude and then take edibles on top of that

Alcohol hits differently at our elevation up here. For most. Especially combining weed and alcohol.

He really breezed past that lol

[@tobydammit6599]

Nick is a heavy heavy drinker. When you are that big of a drinker a couple of cocktails is really nothing. That being said also when you drink that much you also tend to downplay how much “a few” is. So could be either way.

[@philtheheaterguy951]

He only remembers drinking a couple.

I never did any drugs in my life. I'm 42 and just this year, when I was in vegas, I tried cannabis for the first time. I got a bunch of edibles from a dispensary near my hotel. The first night, I ate one and I barely felt anything. So, the next night, the wife and I had a big night planned. Dinner, then battlebots and the neon museum. Well, I took one before dinner, then I took another one in the uber on the way to battlebots. I still wasn't really feeling it, so I had another one during battlebots, and could KINDA feel it, but I really wanted the neon museum to 'pop' while I was there, so, in the uber on the way there, I had a fourth one. Bro. I guess these things must be like time-release or something, or maybe dinner was stifling it getting into my system because they all seemed to hit right as the light show at the neon museum started. I have never in my life felt so euphoric, happy, and discombobulated in my life.

[@fringestream990]

I wait until about 45 minutes after eating something to have an edible, which will usually kicks in 30-60 minutes after that.

You must have a really high natural tolerance, how many milligrams was each one of those edibles? if I did that I would think I’m dying…🤣 I ate a 25 mg piña colada hard candy one time and spent four hours pacing in my house thinking I was gonna have a heart attack. 😳🤣

I'll never understand why its so hard for people to just say "hey i fucked up, it was my fault". Even if they dont plan on trying to do better just the fact that they acknowledge it goes a long way. Unless someone secretly doses you or holds you down and forces chemicals into your body, youre the only one responsible for what you took or drank. Nick is making it sound like ANY substance he was given that night, even if someone handed him a cup of bleach, he wouldve drank, ate or smoked it. Thats not how it works. He chose to be drunk and high and then go perform. Alot of people would be okay with that if hed just be a man and fess up. This is the same shit Bam did for years and we see where that got him.
