How To Sober Up After Getting Too High

We get it, it happens to us all. You smoke one too many bowls and within minutes, your heart rate speeds up and you’re, well, paranoid.

With our tips and tricks, you can come down from the paranoia and relax just a bit. Here’s how you can sober up after getting too high.

Why Does It Happen?

Getting a bit too high can happen for various reasons, often related to the potency of the product and the individual’s tolerance. Marijuana today is much stronger than it used to be, with higher levels of THC, the compound responsible for its psychoactive effects.

Inexperienced users might underestimate the strength of edibles or concentrates, which leads to overconsumption. This is what causes the paranoia. Low tolerance, sensitivity to THC, body weight, and metabolism also play a factor.

How Has Potency Changed Over The Years?

Over the past few decades, the potency of marijuana has increased significantly. Advances in cultivation techniques and selective breeding have led to strains with higher concentrations of THC.

In the 1960s and 1970s, average THC levels in marijuana were around 1-3%.  However, modern strains often contain THC levels exceeding 20%, with some reaching as high as 30%.

This dramatic increase in potency has altered the landscape of marijuana use, which presents new challenges for users.

Higher THC levels can lead to stronger psychoactive effects, increasing the risk of adverse reactions such as anxiety, paranoia, and cognitive impairment.

The rise in potency has sparked discussions about appropriate dosing, regulation, and the need for public education to ensure safe consumption practices. Understanding these changes is crucial for both new and experienced users navigating the evolving world of cannabis.

Symptoms of smoking “too much”

Although weed may be beneficial for a wide range of conditions such as anxiety or depression, it can also make things worse when you overconsume. Here are some of the potential side effects you may experience if you get too high.

– Anxiety/depression

– Heart Palpitations

– Hallucinations

– Nausea/Vomiting

Three Ways To Sober Up

One: Chewing Black Peppercorns:

Easily the best way to sober up is to chew black peppercorns. This is well well-known home remedy that is known to alleviate the intensity of a marijuana high and it works so well! 

Black pepper contains terpenes, such as beta-caryophyllene, which can interact with THC, to produce a calming effect.

These terpenes are believed to modulate the brain’s cannabinoid receptors, helping to reduce anxiety and paranoia commonly associated with high THC consumption.

By chewing peppercorns or even smelling them, you will often experience a grounding effect, making the high more manageable and less overwhelming. This simple remedy can be particularly useful if you need to come down right away. 

Two: Choose The Right Product For You:

Choosing the right weed strain can significantly reduce paranoia. Opt for strains high in CBD and low in THC, as CBD counteracts THC’s psychoactive effects. This promotes calmness and relaxation. On the flip side, Indica-dominant strains are generally more calming and can reduce the risk of becoming “too high.”

Three: Microdose with CBD:

Microdosing CBD can effectively reduce marijuana high by counteracting the psychoactive effects of THC. CBD, a non-intoxicating compound found in cannabis, interacts with the body’s endocannabinoid system to promote balance and reduce anxiety.

Taking small doses of CBD can help reduce THC-induced paranoia, anxiety, and cognitive impairment. It can also provide a calming effect, making it easier to manage the intensity of the high.
