Introduction
It is not uncommon to feel anxious, paranoid, or anxious after overdosing on weed. Increased heart rate, nausea, hallucinations, and confusion can all be side effects of too much marijuana.
This effect is not pleasant, but gradually disappears over several hours. However, some people may want to speed up the process.
Have you ever felt so high? Don’t worry, most people experience this for the first time. Even if you’re new to cannabis, you have a low tolerance for THC, or if you’re consuming a fairly high dose, getting high can be an unpleasant experience, especially if you have a job or social function coming up.
What Makes Seniors Use Cannabis?
THC, which has the primary psychoactive effect, stimulates the brain’s pleasure center, which includes eating and sex. It releases the neurotransmitter dopamine, which makes you feel happy and relaxed after recreational or medical drug use.
THC levels usually peak within 30 minutes, and the effects can last from one to three hours. If you drink or eat, it can take you hours to think straight. You may not always be aware of the power of your recreational cannabis.
What is the effect of cannabis?
Cannabis has different effects on different people. Some people are very sensitive to the effects of drugs, while others don’t feel it at all.
A variety of factors affect how you feel about anxiety, including:
- Dose, traction, and strength are factors to consider.
- Smoking, vomiting or eating will make a difference
- Your age, sex and physiology, as well as how often you take medication
- that you are under the influence of alcohol or other substances at the same time
What happens when you have cannabis?
Even with high doses, you may experience the following symptoms:
- happiness
- comfortable
- funny
- giggling
- is creative
- famine
The use of cannabis, on the other hand, can lead to unpleasant feelings or experiences. Here are some examples:
- worried
- confusion
- delusions and hallucinations
- high blood pressure
- nausea and vomiting
- panic
- paranoia
- psychosis
- heart rate
What happens when you get too high?
The effects of the drug can be sedating, invigorating, and downright euphoric, but high doses of THC can cause unwanted effects in some users. Common side effects of smoking too much include:
Fatigue:
A common side effect of overdose and other forms of cannabis is drowsiness or fatigue. Sometimes this effect is desirable—in fact, one of the reasons for getting prescription drugs is to help manage insomnia and other sleep disorders. Other times, it can prevent us from being productive when needed.
Increased Anxiety/Paranoia:
These psychoactive effects can range from mild to severe and are very common when you get too high. A racing mind, rapid heartbeat and paranoia can be side effects of an overdose. People who are prone to anxiety should be careful when using cannabis and use the dosage carefully.
Dry mouth:
One of the most common side effects of cannabis consumption is “cotton mouth,” or extremely dry mouth. More worrying than anything else, dry mouth can make it difficult to speak or swallow, and can even cause bad breath. Other side effects of overdose may include nausea, dysphoria, and loss of coordination. Alcohol use can increase the likelihood and severity of these side effects.
Some methods to get un-high
1. Change your focus and relax
Sometimes, how high people feel can lead to more intense feelings of panic and feeling “out of control”. Doing something to occupy your mind can take away the great feeling. For example, people can try:
- listen to your favorite music
- watch movies or funny clips online
- do some breathing exercises or yoga
- pairing, doodling, playing computer games
- Be productive in simple ways, such as organizing closets or cleaning.
2. Stay Hydrated
Drinking plenty of water, tea, or other soft drinks to stay hydrated can ease discomfort. Alcohol should be avoided when a person has had too much to drink. It can make the effects of marijuana and the “high” worse. It’s pretty clear, but it needs to be hydrated. One of the reasons you feel negative effects related to your increase may be from previous dehydration. This may be because very few people actually drink enough water.
Dehydration can exacerbate feelings of altitude sickness and make you uncomfortable. If you didn’t drink enough water before, drinking cold water when you feel very high will help you get rid of your bloating and you can get back to normal. Honestly, a good rule of thumb when you’re not feeling well: When in doubt, drink water.
3. Eat Well
While there is some evidence that marijuana consumption can increase hunger and appetite, there is no scientific research to support anecdotal claims that eating will reduce the psychoactive effects of marijuana. Foods that contain these compounds include:
Pine nuts
Pine nuts contain the terpenes pinene and limonene, which are also found in cannabis. Pine’s ability to increase the amount of neurotransmitters important for memory formation can help overcome mental fog. Try eating a piece of raw pine nuts or lightly toast them in a dry pan for a few minutes.
Lemon
People have been talking about lemons for centuries as a useful ingredient for cannabis “highs”. In the 10th century, the Persian physician Al-Razi recommended that to avoid “harm” from eating hemp seeds or stalks, we should “drink sweet water with ice or eat sour fruit.” Soak a lemon peel in hot water and drink it. If possible, steep herbs such as lemon balm or lemon curd in water for the same effect.
Peppercorn
Scientists have discovered that pepper contains the terpene beta-caryophyllene, which can help people improve mental clarity and reduce anxiety. Just dropping the corner angle can be enough to change the height. Try chewing peppermint soup or keep it in hot water with lemon.
4. Taking a shower/ bath
Running into a hot shower can also help to strengthen and relax. Feeling refreshed can motivate a person to regain control and take other actions to feel better, so it can be a good place to start. Nothing helps you reset and recharge like a warm bath or steamy shower. If you feel dizzy or unbalanced, this method is not for you, but if you are paranoid that the world is above the plane, or your anxious mind is getting the best of you, change to something new, comfortable. Clothes that can be cleaned can help put your mind at ease.
5. Get out of the car
Physical activity, even a short walk, can help regulate blood pressure and relieve your current condition.
A change in perspective can also help distract the mind from the “high” feeling.
6. Talking with someone
If someone doesn’t think straight away, it can be a friendly voice. Talking to others to think about something can be a great way to “think big”.
Conversation can calm a person’s nerves and take them away from being “adult”. Talking to others can prevent people from doing risky things like driving under the influence.
7. Try CBD
Previous studies have shown that taking CBD can help reduce the more unpleasant side effects of taking cannabis, such as intoxication, sedation, and heart palpitations.
Both CBD and THC are cannabinoids derived from the hemp plant. THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects of cannabis, while CBD has no intoxicating effects. CBD can reduce THC levels by blocking cannabinoid receptors in the brain and preventing THC activation. A person can try putting CBD oil on their tongue or eating CBD sand.
8. Sleeping
The fastest way to “rest” is to sleep. Whether it is sleep or longer sleep, sleep will pass the time, which will allow the effects of THC to wear off.
However, if a person is anxious after smoking or eating weed, it can be difficult to sleep. One can try one or more of the above methods before trying. This may not work immediately (because not everyone can sleep with just the command), but if you can, we recommend trying to cancel it. Sleep is the fastest way to recover from a high, and thankfully, it’s a great sleep aid.
If you can climb up until it wears you out, leave it. Sleep is the best healing agent for the human body, and even a short nap can help take the edge off an intense high. You can even end up with a wonderful, deep sleep that you didn’t know you needed!
9. Aromatherapy
Terpenes are compounds that give hemp and other plants their unique aroma. These compounds affect the taste and effect of dried flowers and the concentration of cannabis. Terpenes, found in many aromatic plants, can promote a sense of calm. As with CBD, the effects of aromatherapy still need more research, but natural scents like lavender, lemon and pepper can have a positive effect if you’re feeling really high.
Squeeze a lime and inhale the wonderful aroma of the peel and juice, or balance the spicy aroma of chili. Timing is still the best and only way to ride, but if you accidentally overdo it, these techniques can help you re-center, relax, and enjoy the ride.
10. Caffeine
If you need to be productive but feel a little high on getting things done, caffeine can give you the energy to get out of bed and get on with your day. A cup of coffee or other caffeinated drink is not the perfect thing to do if you are feeling high. If it doesn’t get you “high,” it can improve focus and alertness, which can help balance the sedative effects of THC. Caffeinated drinks can also have dehydrating effects, so drink plenty of water to replenish your fluids.
The bottom line
If a person realizes how high they are, it can lead to more panic and the feeling of being “out of control”. Doing something to occupy your mind can help you feel less depressed. The tingling will eventually fade, leaving you feeling relieved or tired.
