Too High? CBD Can Help Counteract the Effects of THC
If you’re new to cannabis, you probably don’t have your own dosing down yet. That’s means there’s a possibility of you getting to a state of being too high.
The feelings can range from paranoia, to couch-lock, to just being a little uncomfortable. Many people feel that they just have to wait it out — which isn’t completely true.
There is a better way. Did you know that there’s an antidote to being too high? That’s right. You can counteract the effects of feeling too high with CBD!
But remember, even if you do feel you’ve had too much, there are no health risks associated with being too high. You are completely safe. Chill out, take a deep breath, and reach for your CBD products.
What are THC and CBD?
Before knowing how to counteract the feeling of being too high, you need to understand what it is that makes you high in the first place. That’s where our friend THC comes in.
THC is the psychoactive compound found in cannabis. It’s responsible for the endless variety of mind and body highs that we experience. However, what you may not know is that THC is just one of many (some scientists say there are over hundreds) cannabinoid compounds found in cannabis.
The Power of CBD
There is another compound found within cannabis that is largely responsible for the medicinal and healing properties that we experience — this is the non-psychoactive compound known as CBD or cannabidiol.
You’ve probably seen the acronym CBD before. It is usually labeled as a ratio to THC (for example 4:1 ratio of THC to CBD). All Americanna products carry an amount of CBD that works along with THC to provide the head and body stimulation that is loved by many, and CBD plays an important role in this. In fact, in order for THC to be effective, a small amount of CBD is required.
But what happens when you have an abnormally higher amount of CBD to THC ratio?
That’s where things get interesting.
Higher amounts of CBD can actually block THC from binding with certain cannabinoids receptors in your brain, effectively mitigating the effects of THC.
The positive potential of CBD has garnered much-deserved attention from both researchers and lawmakers, so much so that the World Health Organization (WHO) recently recommended all governments to remove it from controlled substance scheduling.

Simple Steps To Relieving Your High
Like anything else, there are practical steps that you can take to make your experience as safe and effective as possible. Here are some guidelines if you feel that you have consumed too much THC and know that you want to come down from that high.
- Use CBD early — not late. The moment you realize you smoked too much or feel too high, use Americanna’s CBD Tinctures. The quicker you deliver CBD into your body, the faster that CBD can block certain receptors from binding with THC.
- Release the CBD drops under your tongue or directly into your mouth for fastest absorption. Adding drops to your food or drinks will increase the time required for absorption.
- Don’t overdo it — a few drops is sufficient enough to act as an antidote.
- Hydrate — water and certain juices can help detoxify your body. Think cranberries!
- Calm down and relax — You’re going to be okay. Focus on something simple (coloring, listening to music, looking at art, or watching a favorite movie), and know that this won’t last forever, and you’re fine. There have been zero – I repeat, ZERO – cases of cannabis-induced deaths. We can all get a little too high at times. This is normal and it won’t last forever.
Americanna wants you to be in control of your high. If you miscalculate your dosage and know that you’re too high — don’t freak out. A few drops of Americanna CBD Tinctures should do the trick of bringing you back down to planet Earth.
