How to get unhigh

9 things that actually help

1. CBD oil. Under-the-tongue CBD often reduces THC intensity within 15-30 minutes. The most reliable single intervention if you have it on hand.
2. Black pepper. Chew a few peppercorns or sniff coarse-ground pepper. The terpene beta-caryophyllene appears to blunt THC anxiety. Cheap, harmless, anecdotally strong.
3. Cold shower. Resets the nervous system and lowers a racing heart rate within minutes. A wet washcloth on the back of the neck works in a pinch.
4. Eat a real meal. Carbs, fats, and protein. Toast with peanut butter is a classic. Eating slows remaining THC absorption and gives the body a grounding task.
5. Hydrate. Cool water in small sips. Doesn't flush THC out (it's fat-soluble), but improves cognitive clarity and reduces dry-mouth panic.
6. Sleep. The fastest fast-forward. Lie down in a cool, dim room. Edibles especially fade much faster with sleep.
7. Fresh air. Step outside, open a window, or take a walk. Mild aerobic activity raises alertness.
8. 4-7-8 breathing. Inhale 4 seconds, hold 7, exhale 8. Four cycles. Lowers heart rate within a minute via the parasympathetic nervous system.
9. Time. The only complete cure. Smoking peaks within 30 minutes and fades in 2-4 hours. Edibles peak at 1-3 hours and fade in 6-8.
