Feeling too high from edibles? I’ve got you. Take 25-50mg of CBD, grab some coconut water, and find a quiet spot to chill. These methods kick in within 30-60 minutes, and I’ve seen them work hundreds of times. 🌿
Look, we’ve all been there—that moment when you realize your edible hit way harder than expected. As a budtender, I’ve not only helped countless people through this exact situation—I’ve been there myself. Let me share what works.

Create your chill zone:

- Calming scents if you’ve got ’em
5. Relaxation Mode
Don’t fight it:

Quick FAQs about recovery from edibles
How long am I gonna feel like this? 🤔
It usually takes 4-8 hours. Our recovery methods help make it more manageable. The good news is that you’ll gradually start feeling better, and the intensity will decrease.
Can CBD help?
100%. CBD works by balancing out THC effects. Think of it as your “calm down” button – it won’t completely stop the high, but it’ll make things way more comfortable.
Should I just sleep it off?
If you’re sleepy, go for it. But don’t stress if you can’t – sometimes relaxing with a chill show or some music works better than forcing sleep.
What’s different about edibles in Thailand’s climate?
Thailand’s warm climate can make the experience more intense. Stay hydrated and cool – especially if you’re not used to the heat. Your body processes everything differently in tropical weather.
