Getting too high is a badge of honor for diehard cannabis enthusiasts, but it can also be a terrifying experience. Despite what others may say, there is no easy fix for this intense high. Here are five wacky remedies that may not work for taming that THC-infused animal running wild inside your skull.
1. Just Relax
The first thing people like to tell someone who is far too high for their own good is to just “try to relax.” But this is easier said than done. Even if the person knows they can’t die from a marijuana overdose, the weed can still make them feel like they are. It’s hard to calm down when you feel like you’re being attacked by stink demons.
2. Break Out The Pepper & Maybe A Squirt of Lemon
Some people swear by black pepper and lemon juice to help take the edge off of a too-high high. While it may sound ridiculous, there is some science behind it. The terpenes in black pepper and lemon may help to counteract the effects of THC and bring you back down to earth.
3. Take A Cold Shower
Another unconventional remedy for a too-high high is to take a cold shower. The shock of the cold water can help to snap you out of your high and bring you back to reality. Plus, the cold water can help to calm down any anxiety or paranoia you may be feeling.
4. Try Some CBD
CBD, or cannabidiol, is a non-psychoactive compound found in cannabis that has been shown to have calming effects. If you have some CBD on hand, try taking a dose to help counteract the effects of the THC and bring you back to a more manageable level of highness.
5. Sleep It Off
Sometimes, the best thing you can do when you’re too high is to just sleep it off. Find a comfortable place to lay down and try to get some rest. When you wake up, you’ll likely feel much better and more in control of your high.
In the end, the best way to avoid getting too high is to start slow and know your limits. But if you do find yourself in this situation, don’t worry – it will pass. Just remember to stay calm and try some of these wacky remedies to help bring you back down to earth.
