Too High? Try Black Pepper.

in cannabis •  6 years ago 

If you smoke too much weed or overdo it with edibles and are feeling too high, chew on a peppercorn and let it sit under your tongue for about a minute. You will feel fine in less than five minutes.

If you are on edibles you may have to repeat this every 30 minutes to an hour until you have metabolized all the THC. You can also just smell some ground pepper, but it takes a bit longer and does not last as long.This works because a substance in black pepper called piperine blocks cannabis receptors.

Cannabis and pepper have very similar chemical traits. Pepper can have a “phytocannabinoid-terpenoid effect,” useful for the alleviation of pain, depression, anxiety and addiction. When terpenoids (such as beta-caryophyllene) in pepper combine with tetrahydrocannabinol, a synergistic reaction is produced upon the brain's cannabinoid receptors.
