While hemp-derived cannabinoids are generally safe and federally legal, sometimes the experience can be more than expected. You might end up feeling anxious, spaced out, or just plain uncomfortable.
If you’ve overdone it and are wondering what to do, remember, it will pass. Being overly high isn’t typically a severe risk by itself. As time passes, you’ll start feeling better.
Here’s what you can do to ease the discomfort:
Understanding an Overwhelming High
Most cannabinoids, except CBD, can alter perception and mood. Your body’s endocannabinoid system interacts with these substances, leading to both desirable and less welcome effects.
Taking too much can amplify the undesired sensations—feelings of paranoia, anxiety, or struggling to deal with the altered state of perception you’re experiencing.
While these feelings are understandable, they can exacerbate the discomfort, adding to a sense of unease.
Rare Serious Reactions to Cannabinoids
High-quality cannabinoids are generally safe, with severe reactions being uncommon. Feeling paranoid, anxious, or confused, along with symptoms like increased heart rate or nausea, are common but rarely indicate a larger health issue.
However, if experiencing severe reactions beyond the typical symptoms, seek immediate treatment. It’s crucial to address potential medical emergencies, irrespective of the source.
Time is a Healer
Cannabinoid effects fade over time. Remind yourself that the unpleasant feelings are temporary. This mental assurance often aids in getting back to normalcy.
Preventing Overwhelming Highs
While it won’t help immediately, careful dosing and frequency can prevent future instances. Start with a smaller dosage, especially with edibles, and assess the effects before consuming more.
Tips to Alleviate an Overwhelming High
- Find a Safe, Calm Space: Retreat to a quiet, comforting space to ease feelings of anxiety or overstimulation.
- Distract Yourself: Engage in soothing activities like watching TV or listening to calming music to divert your attention.
- Stay Hydrated: Water replenishes your body and provides a simple, positive task to occupy your focus.
- Avoid Other Stimulants: Coffee or alcohol might intensify the experience, so stick to hydrating and light snacking.
- Practice Mindfulness: Techniques like deep breathing or a relaxing shower can shift focus away from feeling too high.
- Make Yourself Comfortable: Adjust your surroundings—fluff pillows or get cozy—to reduce stress.
- Reach Out: Connect with a trusted friend to shift your focus and seek support.
- Source from Reliable Suppliers: Opt for trustworthy, lab-tested products to avoid excessive potency or contaminants.
