We’ve all been there, had a little too much and you’re riding the white train & fast….so if you have consumed too much THC and are experiencing discomfort or adverse effects,
there are several steps you can take to help alleviate the symptoms. Here are some suggestions….
Stay calm and reassess Remember that consuming too much THC can lead to feelings of anxiety or paranoia, but it is temporary and will pass. Remind yourself that you are not in any physical danger.
Find a comfortable environment Move to a calm and familiar space where you feel safe and relaxed. This can help reduce any potential anxiety or discomfort.
Stay hydrated Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated, as dehydration can contribute to the feeling of discomfort. Avoid alcoholic or caffeinated beverages, as they can worsen the effects of THC.
Distract yourself Engage in activities that can divert your attention and help you relax. Listening to soothing music, watching a movie, or practicing deep breathing exercises can be beneficial.
Eat black peppercorns Chewing on a few black peppercorns has been suggested as a remedy for THC-induced anxiety or paranoia. Some people find that the terpenes present in black pepper can help alleviate these symptoms.
Consider CBD Cannabidiol (CBD) is known to counteract some of the effects of THC and can help promote relaxation. If available, you may try a CBD product (such as CBD oil) to help balance out the THC’s psychoactive effects. However, it’s essential to note that the effectiveness may vary from person to person.
Seek support If you’re feeling overwhelmed or uncomfortable, reach out to a trusted friend or family member who can provide reassurance and support.
Time and rest The effects of THC will naturally diminish over time as the compound is metabolised by your body. Get some rest and allow your body to recover.
If your symptoms persist or worsen or if you have concerns about your health, it is crucial to seek medical assistance. A healthcare professional will be able to provide appropriate advice and guidance based on your specific situation.
