How Do You Counteract Too Many Edibles?
You can’t fully reverse too many edibles, but you can get through it safely by hydrating, staying calm, and waiting it out. The effects always fade on their own, and CBD or black pepper are popular tricks some people find take the edge off.
There is no instant antidote, but too much edible is uncomfortable rather than dangerous, and it always passes. The peak usually lands one to two hours in and eases over the next several hours. CBD is the most useful tool here, since it appears to blunt some of THC’s intensity, which is one reason our THC gummies are CBD-boosted. Black pepper, which shares a compound with cannabis, is a common folk remedy people swear by.
In the moment, find a calm space, sip water, and remind yourself it is temporary. A little CBD, a snack, and rest all help you ride it down. Next time, start low and wait a full hour and a half before taking more. You can keep a non-intoxicating option on hand from our gummies collection.
