There may have been moments when the effects of cannabis left you feeling a bit too high or questioning your existence on this earthly planet. Fear not; this is nothing but a passing phase, a journey that concludes when the substance responsible for that euphoric sensation completes its cosmic effects.
However, if you ever find yourself needing a rapid return to sobriety – perhaps for a sudden visit from your parents or when you’re faced with unforeseen circumstances and challenges that require you to be clear-headed — certain steps can quickly guide you back to normal. Let’s explore these steps that can help you promptly sober up after getting too high.
A lot of people use cannabis for a certain effect: to feel pleasant and relaxed. The high from your cannabis depends on the potency, tolerance, and the type of cannabis you have consumed.
Although the results of a high can vary from individual to individual the following are the most common symptoms:
There’s a thin line between being high and being too high. If the euphoric feeling turns unpleasant, you may have consumed a little more than your body can tolerate. Feeling too high can manifest in different ways, but here are some common signs of being too high:
If you find yourself experiencing any of these signs, this might indicate that you overdid it. You must be aware of your tolerance and pattern your consumption accordingly to experience a comfortable and controlled experience.
In some situations, you might decide to end the euphoric feeling of cannabis as quickly as possible to stop being high. Although it’s easier said than done, some of these options are quite achievable.
Another thing to remember is that there’s no rapid way to go from being high to being un-high in minutes, but these quick tricks can help take you a few levels down.
Just as we mentioned earlier, there’s no magical way to make you sober up, but the best way is to give it time. All cannabis products have a potency period, and the best thing you can do is to wait this period out.
That discomforting feeling will not last forever. Keeping this at the back of your mind will help you get sober gradually. When you give yourself time, it allows your body and mind to naturally metabolize the substances responsible for the elevated state you’re in.
However, the duration you need to feel better depends on factors including methods of consumption, dosage, and metabolism.
The dose you consume and how potent these substances are play a crucial role in getting you back to normal. Choosing cannabis products with lower potency levels, as well as consuming a lower dose, will make the overall experience more manageable and help reduce the duration of your euphoric state.
When buying your cannabis products, make sure you buy a strain with a balanced THC and CBD ratio as CBD has been said to counteract some of the psychoactive effects of THC.
Consuming a substantial amount of food can help get back to normal and sober up. Consuming food with cannabis stabilizes your blood sugar levels and prevents the negative effects associated with being high.
Eating can also be effective as it provides a practical and enjoyable distraction by taking the attention away from you being high to focus on the act of enjoying and savoring the flavors.
Eating boosts your metabolism, which aids a faster breakdown of the cannabis substance in your body to get you back to your sober state as soon as possible.
Dry mouth, also known as “cotton mouth,” is a very common side effect of cannabis consumption. One key way to prevent this is by staying hydrated, so head down to your fridge and drink two to three cups of water to help reduce your high.
Although it is advisable to drink water, excessive consumption can equally be bad for your health. Hydrate mindfully to get sober more quickly.
Yes, you can try shifting your focus from your euphoric sensation by keeping your mind occupied or engaging in a different activity. This will help ease your feelings of anxiety and discomfort. Before you know it, the time will have passed without necessarily feeling high.
Try to engage in activities that make you happy and provide a sense of relaxation, such as listening to music, taking a walk, chilling with friends, and so on. These types of activities can put you in a good mood and take your mind off your current high state.
The most effective remedy for being too high is to give it some time, understanding that the effects of cannabis consumables vary from person to person. There’s no absolute way to instantly reduce your high, but we can help you by offering options to help ease the intensity.
If at any point you find that your high isn’t wearing off like normal and you’re not experiencing any improvement, it is important to quickly reach out to a medical professional for swift intervention.
