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.
