How to Sober Up from Cannabis and Understand the Duration of Your High

Even occasional or heavy cannabis smokers may have an accidental high from edibles or very potent strains. At first, everything feels just fine. Then, suddenly, things become very overwhelming: your heart beats rapidly, your thoughts run wildly, and time appears to be slowing; your only thought is “Will this ever go away, and how can I make myself feel better?”.

Cannabis High Timeline

The method of consumption determines how long you will be high for. Smoking or vaping cannabis usually produces peak levels within 10-30 minutes with a total duration of approximately 1-4 hours.

The effects of edible products and devices are quite different, as they produce effects anywhere from 30 min – 2 hours after consumption. Also, the duration of the effects from edible products can be significantly longer at 4-8 hours, and often even longer.

Weight, metabolism, tolerance, and amount consumed determine how long effects last.

Today, there are many cannabis products available that contain between 15% – 30% THC (and sometimes even higher) compared to the 3%- 4% THC products of years past. First-time users and individuals with low levels of tolerance are particularly affected by high THC content due to the longer and more intense experiences associated with it.

Tips to Get Unhigh

• Hydration: Dehydration can amplify symptoms of anxiety and discomfort. Drinking water or herbal tea may help increase the rate of your body’s ability to metabolize the THC.
• Cold Showers or Washing Your Face with Cold Water
• Chewing Black Peppercorns or Smelling Ground Black Pepper: Chewing a couple whole black peppercorns or smelling ground black pepper can help decrease paranoia and anxiety caused by marijuana within a couple of minutes of consumption.
• Using CBD Products.

Ideally, you need to locate yourself in a quiet, safe place and create a comfortable space. Practicing slow and controlled breaths while practicing deep breathing can help reduce anxiety.

To assist with managing your weed comedown, you may consider eating a light meal to regulate your blood sugar and provide a sense of comfort. In general, sleep is the most effective remedy to end a cannabis high because your body processes the THC during rest.

Preventing Excessively Strong Marijuana Experience

Take small portions and wait at least two hours after consuming edible products before consuming another portion of cannabis product. While experiencing a bad high can be uncomfortable, it is not lethal. All effects of excessive THC will dissipate and using these methods will allow you to regain control of your high as quickly as possible and comfortably.
