I'm Greening out! Now What?
10 Tips to help you out
How do you handle greening out and cope with the symptoms in a safe way? While there is no magical method of how to become “un-high,” there are a few remedies and preventative measures to help sober up from weed quickly.
Have a bud buddy - Always make sure to smoke with a friend or a group of close friends that you trust. Sometimes even grown-ups need a babysitter. If you see a friend getting dizzy from weed, don’t hesitate to speak up.
Consume edibles and smoke in a safe space - Make sure that you are in the comfort of your own home or a place you know well. If you’ve smoked too much, being in a comfortable environment will make the experience less stressful. Familiar places make happy faces.
Know that the green out will not last forever - Give it some time and ride out the high. Greening out differs for each individual and can last from minutes to a couple of hours. It may seem like seconds last hours while you are too high, but that’s just the weed. Try to remind yourself that time will pass and you will be ok.
Consume tons of water - Staying hydrated while you smoke the cheeba is always advised. In acute cases of over-consumption, you may need to drink juice to raise your blood sugar.
Lie down - Get lots of relaxation and rest. Unless you've been smoking weed strains for sleep, sleeping may feel impossible, so close your eyes and meditate if you can. You can sleep off a high, but anything to quiet your mind will help get you through the symptoms of smoking too much weed.
Find good distractions - Talk with your bud buddies, text or call a friend, watch TV, listen to your favorite music, get a massage, or go for a walk. Do what you can to take your mind off of how long it takes to stop being high.
Remedies - Chewing on black peppercorns and lemon rinds can alleviate some of these symptoms with their known calming properties.
Eat something - Smoking on an empty stomach can result in more prominent effects from your weed. Avoid foods high in fat, but eating something will help you feel sober quicker. Good choices are popcorn, carrots, toast, and fruits.
Don’t panic; it’s organic - Remind yourself that the human body cannot fatally overdose on cannabis by itself. Our brain simply will not allow it.
It happens, and that’s OK - Everyone reacts differently when they over-consume marijuana. Even though you may feel sick, greening out will not damage your body.
