Quick Ways To Come Down If Too High During The Holidays

Indulgence seems to be the key word of the holiday season.  Grand meals, gifts galore, egg nog, candies, social occasions, family all combine to a faster than usual pace.  And for a number, they indulge in alcohol and marijuana. While an alcohol high is one thing, a marijuana can be treated, here are quick ways to come down if too high during the holidays.

Here is a solution in case things go sideways since no one enjoys being super high and having relatives asking them about their job prospects or the people they’re dating.

Have some water

It may seem basic, but water is very important when it comes to managing a really intense high, especially if you’re the kind of person who gets cottonmouth. Drink something cold and preferably non-alcoholic or caffeinated to keep you from getting more intoxicated than you already are. And make sure to hold on to that drink. Take periodic sips and get refills, which will help you feel grounded. Snacking on something (not edibles!) might also help.

Go for a walk

If you’re too high and can barely speak, maybe it’s time to go outside. A change of scenery and some fresh air can do wonders for you, and it’s also a great way to prevent people from giving you weird looks. Try to go for your walk with someone you trust and who knows what’s going on with you; you don’t want to get lost in the middle of a Thanksgiving dinner party.

Take a shower

If you can make a quick escape and take a shower, do it. A quick shower can help you relax and distract you from your high.

Distract yourself

Doing an activity that requires some focus can also help you feel grounded and more in control of your senses. Try to watch some light TV, play a video game, focus on the delicious food without appearing ravenous, or talking to a friend or relative you trust. If you’re surrounded by family, keep your talking to a minimum, since that’s the best way of not blowing your cover. Stick to basic questions and you should be fine.

Get ready to act

Most people won’t notice a thing if you’re careful, so try to keep your cool and remind yourself that no one knows the depths of your high except for yourself. If you think someone is looking at you weird or asking you too many questions, just chalk it up to marijuana-induced paranoia. The best thing you can do at the moment is stay calm and remind yourself that this is momentary.
