Even the most seasoned cannabis enthusiast has once in their life overdone their marijuana. This is especially true if you’ve been excessively puffing on the buds produced by our seeds. But how do you sober up from being too high?

Well, here are our top suggestions.

Try Some Black Peppercorns

This might seem like a strange suggestion but there is some science behind this tip.

In a 2011 review, published in the British Journal of Pharmacology, it was stated as follows:

“..terpenes such as beta-caryophyllene found in peppercorn can help tame the intoxicating effects of THC.”

Beta-caryophyllene and THC form a synergistic relationship and bind to the same cannabinoid receptors, creating a calming effect.

So, get the pepper grinder out and get grinding.

How To Sober Up From a High With Some CBD

It shouldn’t come as a surprise that CBD can help. CBD is an excellent anxiety-combating substance.

Currently, there is some early research about the chemical relationship between CBD and THC. If you do have some CBD lying around the home, it might help.

But, if you don’t.

Keep Hydrated and Eat More!

This is the most basic piece of advice to follow, no matter how stoned you are.

The simple process of sipping water can help calm the mind. Not to mention that it will help with the dry mouth. While no research has been conducted around this, some individuals have reported that snacking on food helps.

And when we suggest hydrating, we don’t mean consuming alcohol or caffeinated drinks.

Relaxing Can Help With Sobering Up From a High

Remembering that breathing and relaxing can help when trying to sober up from a high.

Find a calm and quiet place, lay down, and concentrate on your breathing. Taking this meditative approach can help reduce heart rates and anxiety.

And remind yourself that THC only works between 20 minutes and 2 hours in extreme cases.

If you are feeling drowsy, rather steer yourself towards sleeping it off. But if this isn’t working, then seek something distracting.

How To Sober Up From a High? Distractions!

Find an easy distraction. This can range from watching TV, getting into an in-depth conversation with someone else, or maybe taking a walk around the block.

By just shifting your attention to something you enjoy, you’ll be distracting yourself from the fact you’ve taken in too much THC.

And if you are at home, draw yourself a bath or climb into a shower. Nothing is better to snap you out of a worrying anxiety attack than a relaxing bath or shower.

Just Relax

At the end of the day, THC wears off fairly quickly. So, there’s never a reason to panic. Just lean back, relax, and ride out the high.
