Pulling A Whitey
Pulling a whitey, also known as “greening out” or “whiting out,” refers to an unpleasant experience that some individuals may have after consuming too much weed. It is characterized by symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, excessive sweating, and a feeling of extreme discomfort. This phenomenon generally happens when consuming a high dose of THC all at once, which is the main thing that gets you high in cannabis. Bare in mind that the effects of pulling a whitey don’t tend to last long and typically will go away on their own within a short time frame. Sometimes this ‘state’ will form the butt of jokes amongst seasoned smokers, when either one of the buddies, or someone new to the group starts going pale after doing a bucket for the first time, for example:
“lol Geoff looks like he’s pulled a whitey, he’s totally cabbaged on the sofa”.
If someone has smoked weed and is experiencing this, it is recommended to find a comfortable and quiet environment, drink water or suck a lemon and rest until the symptoms pass.

How to stop a whitey?
Temper your intake of weed. That’s the golden rule. However if you are currently pulling a whitey, these are some quick hacks to stop the whitey: If you feel like you’re spinning–and you are stood up, then sit down, or lie down with your head slightly elevated. Change positions until your brain can process how you are feeling, and just breathe calmly in through your nose and out through your mouth. Because you or your friend also probably feels doozy try to suck on something sweet-or-sour, such a lemon–sounds odd but the jarring citrus punch to the face 🍋 👊 often works to snap you out of it. Your other options are sugary sweet things, iced water, sucking on black peppercorns or consuming some CBD–which tends to counteract the effects of weed.
What causes a whitey?
It’s totally down to the amount of weed you intake in a short period of time. When we say amount, we mean total THC technically speaking. People tend to white out when doing stuff like buckets, bongs, THC vapes, or dabs. If you are doing any of these for the first time, then go low dose and slow, otherwise you will too whiten out like a sheet!
