If you’re “greening out” or experiencing a marijuana overdose there are a few practical things you can do that will help you to calm down and relieve you from some of the effects of the substance. Certain foods and spices are known to counteract the effects of THC and can help to even you out and bring you back down to earth.
If you have any fresh peppercorns in your kitchen cupboard go and grab your pepper grinder and grind some up and take a big sniff. Be mindful to not actually inhale any of the pepper when you do this but the scent of freshly ground pepper is known to help bring people out of the effects of a marijuana overdose experience. You can also chew a peppercorn if sniffing isn’t doing the trick!
Drink some cool and clean water. If you are feeling dehydrated on top of being paranoid and too stoned you will have a bad time. If you keep some water close at hand for the duration of your experience and enjoy it regularly you should feel better in no time!
If the weather is nice, get outside and go for a walk if you are able. Sometimes a change of scenery is all we need when we feel overwhelmed to get our bearings back. Usually the experience people refer to as a marijuana overdose is really just the inability to process so much stimuli and the many new sensations that using cannabis can provide. If getting outside sounds like the opposite of what you need then there is no shame in tucking into the couch for a good marathon movie or gaming session too.
Grab some of your favourite foods or order something in. Usually eating is a huge help because shortly after eating the effects of cannabis noticeably diminish. For this reason a lot of veteran stoners will tend to smoke after they eat so as to not suppress the high. You can use this effect to your advantage in the opposite direction however. Make today a cheat day and chow down on that pizza, candy bar or big bag of chips you’ve been daydreaming about.
