Greened Out
What is greening out? Greening out is a term used to describe feeling sick or nauseous after having too much weed. It can contain some of these symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, sweating, anxiety or paranoia.
When you green out your body is reacting to too much THC—the active ingredient in weed. This happens when you smoke or ingest more than your body can handle. Newbies or those who have been away for a long time are most prone to this.
Physically you might feel lightheaded, have cotton mouth or have a drop in blood pressure. You might feel sick if you move. Psychologically you might feel paranoid or extremely anxious or just laugh your tits off.
To handle greening out just stay calm and find a comfortable place to sit. Drink water and eat something to stabilize yourself. Don’t panic, the effects will wear off over time.
Preventing greening out is mostly about knowing your limits. Start with small doses and gradually increase as you figure out how your body reacts. Always consume in a safe environment where you feel comfortable.
“After one too many hits of Alaskan Thunderfuck, Mike greened out so hard he started a deep philosophical debate with his own reflection, arguing that mirrors are just windows into parallel universes where everyone is backwards.”

How long does greening out usually last
Greening out usually lasts anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours. If you are your friend is greening out, don’t panic! Often this feeling passes pretty quickly. First try drinking some gatorade, or orange juice with ice. Try sitting up if you are slouched down in the couch, or optionally completely lie down with your feet up and head slightly elevated on a pillow or cushion. Some other things to try are sucking on a few black peppercorn (as they contain calming terpenes which can mellow out your high), consuming some CBD — if you have any handy, such as CBD oil, or a CDB joint, as CBD has been shown to calm the greening out effects.
