Here are some things you can do to help you deal with the adverse effects of THC gummies, should you take one too many:
Keep calm and remind yourself, “This will pass.” Symptoms of over-intoxication may include confusion and disorientation, anxiety, or paranoia. Tell yourself that it is only temporary.
Find a Safe Comfortable Space: Go to a place where you feel safe and relaxed; quiet if often a plus. Lie down or sit in a comfortable position.
Hydrate: Having water or a drink other than caffeinated or alcoholic may alleviate your symptoms somewhat. Using alcohol increases THC’s effect.
Eat something light: Some find that a small snack takes some of the edge off. Focus on bland foods, like crackers or toast.
Black pepper or lemon: Some people report that smelling or chewing on black peppercorns helps them lower anxiety-as does the scent of lemon. Maybe just the smell alone will serve to help calm your mind.
Distract Yourself: Watch something light or engaging, listen to calm music, or try a relaxing activity like deep breathing exercises. This can help take your mind off any negative feelings.
Rest and Wait It Out: The effects of THC are going to last potentially a few hours depending on dose, body weight, and tolerance. Sleeping it off may be one of the best ways to wait for its effects to subside.
CBD: If you have some available, this can possibly help balance out the effects of THC.
If you experience chest pains or have difficulty breathing, seek medical attention.
