Waking up day after day with a strong sense of high in your system could be a bit frustrating.
Call it a morning high, or a weed hangover, it is the long-lasting effects of marijuana talking that would not go away overnight.
Some of them include laziness, fatigue, headache, brain fog, nausea, cottonmouth, and dry eyes as you might have experienced.
Although frequent users may have learned to cope with it, new or those consuming it for medicinal purposes may not feel quite right. Unless you knew a few ways that could help you get rid of your weed hangover in time!
Without further ado, let’s get to it.
Ways to get rid of weed hangover
1. Sleep well and lack of it, especially after consuming a whole lot of marijuana late at night, may not be a healthy choice or lifestyle.
Lack of sleep is one of the major reasons that causes you to wake up with a high.
2. Hydrate yourself with an adequate amount of water, lukewarm (if possible). It will help dilute the resin content of the cannabis present in your system and thus allow you to flush it out faster.
3. Eat plenty of nutritious food and healthy snacks, especially after smoking marijuana. It is one of the best habits that you could develop should you want to absorb the maximum amounts of health benefits and high.
4. Walk/ Jog/ Work it out but don’t stay put in your bed procrastinating even after waking up.
A quick workout or run can pump up your heart rate and heat your internal organs which ultimately helps metabolize the cannabis content in your body all the while helping you feel active and light.
5. Avoid smoking at all costs as even plain tobacco can reactivate or trigger the THC content in your body, eventually making you feel slouched or stoned again depending on how potent it is.
6. Or caffeine?
While having a cup of tea or coffee can certainly help you feel more alert for a while, it can also drive you drowsy and dehydrated again. So if you’re having one, make sure not to hit the bed lest you fall asleep.
7. Try cranberry or lemon juice instead as they tend to be highly diuretic and can make you flush out the toxins faster.
8. Go for a shower as it is a sure short way of feeling fresh and rejuvenated. Plus the steam from hot water will also open up your food pipe and air channels thus boosting your appetite in the process.
9. Drink ginger/ green tea as it helps with digestion, sleeplessness, nausea, and headaches. To make it all the more soothing, add a squeeze of lemon and a spoon of honey.
10. Take a painkiller or CBD tincture/ gummy as they can help you control chronic pain, headaches, and morning sickness.
In addition, refrain from drinking alcohol or using other substances when on weed as it can make you feel extra hungover with a lot of side effects.
