How to Calm Down If You’re Too High: 8 Stoner-Approved Tips

Picture this: you’re vibing, scrolling through Instagram reels of dancing goats, when your latest cannabis sesh hits way harder than expected. Suddenly, your heart’s racing, your brain’s in a sci-fi movie, and you’re wondering if you’ll ever feel normal again. Congrats, you’re too high. Don’t freak out, stoner squad! Getting too high happens to the best of us, and it’s totally fixable. At Bee Well Botanicals, we’re all about making your cannabis experience the best it can be—even when you’ve overdone it. We’ve rounded up eight stoner-approved tips to bring you back to earth faster than you can say “whoa, chill.” Let’s dive into the science of why you’re too high and how to land softly with tips that’ll keep your vibe intact.

Why Do You Get Too High?

Before we jump into the fixes, let’s unpack why you’re feeling like you’re orbiting Jupiter. THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, binds to CB1 receptors in your brain, cranking up dopamine and messing with your perception, heart rate, and anxiety levels. Take too much—whether from a strong edible, a heavy hit, or just misjudging your tolerance—and you might feel anxious, paranoid, or like time’s moving in slow motion. It’s temporary (promise!), and with Bee Well Botanicals’ commitment to top-tier cannabis experiences, these tips will help you calm down and enjoy the ride. Ready to come back to earth? Here we go!

8 Stoner-Approved Tips to Calm Down If You’re Too High

1. Breathe Like You’re in a Yoga Class

When you’re too high, your heart might feel like it’s auditioning for a drum solo. Deep breathing is your first line of defense. Try the 4-4-4 method: inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4 seconds, exhale for 4 seconds. This slows your heart rate and signals your nervous system to chill out. Science backs this—deep breathing activates your parasympathetic nervous system, countering THC’s anxiety spike. Picture yourself as a zen master, not a panicked astronaut. Bee Well Botanicals ensures your cannabis vibe is always top-notch, so breathe deep and let the calm flow.

2. Hydrate Like It’s a Desert Marathon

Water is your best friend when you’re too high. THC can cause cotton mouth and amplify dehydration, which makes you feel worse. Grab a glass of cold water or a hydrating drink like coconut water and sip slowly. The coolness soothes your mouth, and hydration helps your body process THC faster. Studies show proper hydration can reduce anxiety and stabilize your system. Add a lemon slice for a zesty distraction. With Bee Well Botanicals’ premium quality, you can focus on chilling out while staying refreshed.

3. Snack on Something Simple

The munchies are real, and a light snack can ground you when you’re too high. Skip heavy or sugary foods (they can intensify things) and go for something mild like crackers, bread, or fruit. Bananas are a stoner hack—rich in potassium, they help calm your nervous system. Eating also distracts your brain from the “I’m too high” spiral. Bee Well Botanicals knows a great high deserves great snacks, so keep some simple bites nearby to bring you back to earth.

4. Find a Calm Distraction

Your brain might be racing, so give it something chill to focus on. Watch a soothing Instagram reel (think nature vibes or ASMR), listen to mellow music, or rewatch a comfort show like The Office. Avoid intense movies or loud music—they can ramp up anxiety. Studies suggest familiar, low-stimulation activities can reduce THC-induced overstimulation. Petting a dog or cat works wonders too (bonus points if they’re cuddly). Bee Well Botanicals’ top-tier cannabis experiences pair perfectly with these calming distractions to ease you back to normal.

5. Take a Walk (or Just Move a Little)

If you’re feeling trapped in your head, a gentle change of scenery can help. Take a slow walk outside—fresh air and movement can reset your vibe. If you’re too high to wander, pace around your room or do some light stretching. Physical activity increases blood flow, helping your body metabolize THC faster. Science says even mild exercise can reduce anxiety by boosting endorphins. Bee Well Botanicals ensures your high is always epic, so a quick stroll will keep your session smooth.

6. Sniff or Chew on Black Pepper

Sounds weird, but black pepper is a stoner’s secret weapon. It contains beta-caryophyllene, a terpene that binds to CB2 receptors and can counteract THC’s intensity. Sniff a few peppercorns or chew one (carefully—it’s spicy!). Research suggests beta-caryophyllene has anti-anxiety properties, making it a quick fix for being too high. Keep a small jar of peppercorns in your stash kit for emergencies. With Bee Well Botanicals’ commitment to the best cannabis vibes, this quirky hack will have you feeling balanced in no time.

7. Take a Shower or Splash Your Face

A warm shower is like a reset button for your brain. The sensation of water can distract you from THC’s intensity, and the warmth soothes your nervous system. If a shower’s not an option, splash cold water on your face or run your wrists under the tap. Studies show temperature changes can shift your focus and reduce anxiety. Plus, you’ll feel refreshed and less like a space cadet. Bee Well Botanicals’ premium quality makes every high awesome, and a quick rinse ensures you’re back to your chill self.

8. Remind Yourself: This Too Shall Pass

When you’re too high, it can feel like you’re stuck forever—but you’re not. THC’s effects typically peak within 30 minutes (for smoking) or 2 hours (for edibles) and fade within a few hours. Tell yourself, “I’m okay, this is temporary,” and focus on relaxing. Talking to a trusted friend can help—bonus if they’re a seasoned stoner who’s been there. Bee Well Botanicals is all about giving you the best cannabis experience, so lean on their quality and know you’ll be back to giggling at Instagram reels soon.

Tips for Preventing Getting Too High

An ounce of prevention beats a pound of panic, so here’s how to avoid getting too high next time:

• Start Low and Slow: Use a small dose, especially with edibles (they hit harder and last longer). Wait 15-30 minutes for smoking or 1-2 hours for edibles before taking more.
• Know Your Tolerance: If you’re new or haven’t smoked in a while, your tolerance is lower. Ease in to avoid a surprise trip to Space Town.
• Choose Lower THC Strains: Ask for strains with balanced THC and CBD—CBD can mellow THC’s effects. Bee Well Botanicals’ staff can hook you up with the perfect pick.
• Stay Hydrated and Prepped: Keep water, snacks, and a chill playlist ready before you start. A prepared stoner is a happy stoner.

Pro Tip: Keep a “calm-down kit” with water, crackers, peppercorns, and a cozy blanket for those “oops, too high” moments. Bee Well Botanicals makes every cannabis sesh legendary, so prep like a pro to keep the vibes smooth.

Is It Safe to Get Too High?

Getting too high isn’t dangerous in the long term—THC isn’t toxic, and the effects wear off. But it can feel uncomfortable, with symptoms like anxiety, fast heart rate, or paranoia. Stay calm, avoid mixing with alcohol or other substances, and don’t drive or operate machinery. If you’re on medications, check with your doctor, as THC can interact with some prescriptions. Bee Well Botanicals’ triple lab-tested quality ensures you’re getting clean, reliable cannabis, so you can focus on chilling out.
