A miscalculated dose or stronger-than-usual strain can get you way higher than you planned or wanted. If you need to counteract the intense unpleasantness this situation can create, try taking some cannabidiol (CBD). This hemp derivative can often dampen the anxiety caused by too high a flight. Then sit back, relax, and practice slow, calm, deep breathing until you feel a little more in control.

Smelling Like Marijuana

You may love the aroma of marijuana, but others in your life (such as your employer) may not share your enthusiasm. If you and your surroundings smell like weed, the first thing you should do is turn on a fan, open a window, and get that smoke out of your residence. air fresheners, scented candles, and spray odor removers can help complete the job. To remove your own personal weed odor, turn to perfume, body spray, mouthwash, and/or mint-flavored chewing gum.

Displaying Red Eyes to the World

If you always show a pair of red eyes to the world, the world will have little trouble drawing the obvious conclusion as to the cause. Fortunately, you can find over-the-counter eye drops specifically formulated to reduce redness. If you don’t want to go this route, try applying a cold compress to reduce eye inflammation. As a last resort, keep a pair of sunglasses handy.

Not Knowing What to Do With Yourself

It’s all too easy to get so “couch locked” from a high that you can’t decide how to enjoy your session, with the predictable result that you end up doing nothing of interest at all. Instead of wasting a potentially good time, plan your activity in advance, whether it involves listening to music, watching TV, or spending quality time with friends.

Losing Your Supply or Equipment

Nothing tops the frustration of running out of weed or misplacing/breaking your gear. Again, the answer lies in thinking ahead by placing regular orders from your online provider and keeping extra papers, vapes, concentrates, or edibles on hand. Since there’s no time like the present, browse All Greens Dispensary’s online product catalog and place those backup orders today!

Medical research has demonstrated that cannabis can cause paranoia even though it is rare. Let’s take a look at the science behind paranoia.

How Common Is Paranoia When Smoking Weed?

The research on this isn’t conclusive as of yet, but it appears that around 50% of individuals who enjoy THC products will experience paranoia at some time. This doesn’t mean that paranoia is a 50/50 every time you smoke, but that around half of all individuals might experience paranoia at some point.

It’s All About Your Expectations

In one study, individuals who are informed ahead of time that THC can cause paranoia were actually more likely to be paranoid after smoking. It seems that there’s some expectation bias. Individuals in this study who were not told about this potential side effect had significantly lower rates of paranoia.

Genetics And Anxiety When Smoking Weed

There is some research that currently suggests a genetic or gendered difference for experiencing paranoia while enjoying cannabis products, but this research is in the very early stages. As of right now, it’s just pointing in a general direction but has yet to yield specific and actionable information.

Tips For Avoiding Paranoia When Enjoying Cannabis

Here are four quick tips that you can use to minimize the risk of paranoia while enjoying cannabis.

You should start your dosing low and slow. This helps prevent things from going too far, too fast. You can also add CBD to your cannabis products to mitigate paranoia and anxiety.

The best thing you can do is take care of yourself while enjoying cannabis.

Like so many varieties of flora, the cannabis plant consists of multiple parts. However, only the female plants produce the THC-rich buds and flowers that cannabis users actually smoke. Other parts of the plant include trichomes (hair-like appendages that contain aromatic terpenes) and the strong, fibrous stems that support the plant. Both stems and seeds are traditionally thought of as throw-away components that don’t create a high or provide useful medical benefits.

Why Shouldn’t You Smoke Weed Stems?

You might feel tempted to smoke your weed stems, but you really shouldn’t. For starters, weed stems contain so little THC that you can’t derive any noticeable benefits from smoking them as you would flowers. To make the prospect even less appealing, smoked stems taste and smell acrid, like burnt wood chips. Smoking them can cause coughing jags, a sore throat, and pounding headaches. It’s little wonder, then, why experienced marijuana users have grown accustomed to tossing these parts of the plant out with the garbage.

What Use Can You Get From Weed Stems?

Just because you can’t get any benefit from smoking weed stems, that doesn’t mean these plant pieces hold no value at all. Many people happen to enjoy the flavor and aroma of cannabis, no matter what part of the plant it comes from. If you’re one of those individuals, you can always brew your stems into a tea along with your favorite kinds of tea leaves.

You can use stems to make your own cannabis-infused butter. Simply bake and grind the stems and then combine them with melted butter, straining this mixture and letting it cool. You can also infuse alcoholic beverages with stems, season your favorite dishes with them, or even mix them with alcohol and let the liquid evaporate in a pan until you can scrape away the residual hash.

Of course, the whole question of what to do with weed stems is academic if you don’t have the necessary weed. If you’re looking for high-quality medical marijuana and you hold an Arizona medical marijuana card, explore our wide selection at All Greens Dispensary and place an order with us today!
