Maino, the Brooklyn rapper, recently opened up about a harrowing encounter with edibles that left him in a state of panic and unease. Reflecting on a past incident during an appearance on Way Up With Angela Yee, Maino recounted his experience of unknowingly delving into a daunting realm of intoxication that almost convinced him he would be perpetually stuck in a high.
During the podcast, Maino recounted a significant event when he was en route to collaborate on a track with Raekwon. Eager to enhance his experience, he decided to acquire a batch of weed-infused cookies from a friend. However, little did he know that this seemingly harmless choice would lead to an unforgettable and overwhelming ordeal.
Recounting the event, Maino shared, “I was on my way to the studio but I went to pick up 25 cookies. He told me to take half of one,” He shared. “So I was on my way to do a session with Raekwon, and I had my son with me. My son was young back then, maybe six or seven.
“This is back to back. I took another half and another half. I done took a cookie and a half. I had uncontrollable laughter. I was forgetting everything that I was saying in the middle of a conversation. I could not record. They was like, ‘God you ok?’ “I thought I was. And let me tell you, that high kept hitting, it kept elevating. I was high from Friday to Monday. I was panicking, I was shaking and I was paranoid. ‘Am I gonna be like this for the rest of my life?
Subsequent to this harrowing incident, Maino vowed never to approach those cookies again. He revealed that they remained untouched in his cabinet for a period of three years, serving as a lasting reminder of the risks of overindulgence and the importance of responsible consumption.
