While weed seems to go along just fine with grappling ATOS black belt Josh Hinger got more than he bargained for at World Championships 2018.
Anyone who has competed in bjj knows there’s a good degree of waiting around time – and it was during this time that Josh Hinger Inadvertently ingested some candy resulting in a bit of a skewed perception.
Here’s how Hinger described the incident:
So yesterday I was watching the black belt quarter finals at the IBJJF World Championships. And at around 11am my friend who shall remain unnamed came up and sat by me. My friend says “I have some candy.”
So, I take the candy and eat it. It was delicious. So I ask for another. Then my friend says “you want more?!” I’m like, YES, my diet is over, and I like candy. So I eat more.
Then someone else says, I can’t believe you are eating those in the middle of the day. They make me so sleepy. Then something in my mind clicks. I grab the bag and read it closely. It said 10mg THC per sour gummy. 😳🤬😳🤬😳 I had no idea what I was eating. So yeah, I was trippin balls all day yesterday. 🤯🤯 Sorry if I acted weird or awkward towards anyone. I was just trying to keep it together in what seemed like a very very intense worlds. Let this be a lesson to all. Don’t take candy from strangers OR FRIENDS without reading the labels. ☠️ #worlds2018
