Is Your Weed Too Strong? How to Tell — And What to Do

We’ve all been there — that moment where one hit turns into whoa. Whether you're a seasoned smoker or just easing into the world of THC, sometimes weed can hit harder than expected. But how do you know when your weed is too strong? And more importantly, how do you come down from it?

🚩 Signs Your Weed Might Be Too Strong

If you’re experiencing any of these, chances are your weed might be a bit more potent than your body or tolerance is ready for:

• Sudden anxiety or racing thoughts
• Increased heart rate or body tension
• Paranoia or feeling “trapped in your head”
• Heavy sedation or couch-lock when you didn’t expect it
• Time distortion or sensory overload
• Dry mouth, dizziness, or nausea

Remember: None of these are dangerous, just uncomfortable. It’s your body saying, “this was a little much.”

🌬 What to Do If You're Too High

1. Breathe. You’re okay.
No one has ever overdosed on weed. Find a comfy place to sit, take deep breaths, and remind yourself it will pass.

2. Hydrate with water or citrus.
Sip slowly. Bonus points for lemonade or something with black pepper — the terpenes can help ease the high.

3. Take CBD.
CBD can help mellow out THC’s intensity. A few drops of Bee Well Botanicals’ full-spectrum CBD oil under the tongue can bring balance.

4. Distract yourself.
Watch a light show, cuddle up with a blanket, or listen to calming music. Put on a familiar movie or show you love.

5. Avoid overthinking it.
You’re not “greening out” — you’re just elevated. The peak usually fades within 30–90 minutes.

🌿 How to Prevent It Next Time

• Start low, go slow — especially with edibles.
• Pay attention to strain types. Sativas can be mentally intense, while indicas are heavier in the body.
• Look at the THC percentage. Anything above 20–25% might be too much depending on your tolerance.
• Balance with CBD. Products with a 1:1 or 2:1 CBD to THC ratio are great for beginners or mellow highs.

And of course — always ask your budtender at Bee Well Botanicals if you’re unsure what’s right for your vibe. We’re here to help you feel good, not overwhelmed.
