What should I do if I take too much THC?Updated 8 months ago

Too much THC can often bring on overwhelmingside effects. If you find yourself having a more intense experience than expected, stay calm—it WILL pass*. Take a deep breath; you’re okay!

Everyone’s metabolism is different, but effects typically start to wane after about 6 hours. In the meantime, try these strategies to help regain control of your buzz:

1. Eat some food and drink some water - stay hydrated!

2. Take some CBD to help counteract negative THC side effects.

3. Take a walk to release excess energy, distract yourself from fixating on unpleasant experiences, relieve stress, and improve your mood.

4. Talk to a friend - having some company can help you calm down!

5. Spend time with your pet - pets can lower your heart rate, reduce blood pressure, and increase feelings of relaxation and happiness, thanks to their comforting presence!

Remember, these moments are temporary, and taking these steps can help you feel more at ease and regain some control.

Important Note: If you’re concerned after reacting badly to a cannabis product or a child has gotten a hold of the product, you can reach out to the Poison Control Center hotline at 1-800-222-1222.
