WENT TOO FAR? IT'S OK.

If you greened out.

It happens, especially with edibles. Cannabis hasn't killed anyone in recorded history — but it can be unpleasant. Here's the playbook:

  1. 01

    Find a calm spot

    Sit or lie down somewhere familiar. Dim the lights, low music helps.

  2. 02

    Hydrate

    Cool water. Don't chug — sip. Black pepper (yes, really) helps with anxiety.

  3. 03

    CBD if you have it

    CBD partially blocks THC at the receptor. 25–50 mg helps take the edge off.

  4. 04

    Sleep it off

    Most uncomfortable highs pass within 4–6 hours. Naps are your friend.

  5. 05

    Call if needed

    Severe? Call Poison Control: 1-800-222-1222. They're kind, free, and know cannabis.
