The fact you can enjoy your favourite culinary delights followed by a high that lasts for hours is a match made in stoners heaven.
But as we know, with edibles, the high hits differently! We’ve all been there when ‘we don’t feel it yet’ take some more and then bang! And with delicious tasting options, it’s very easy to accidentally over-consume those delicious THC-packed goodies.
In this blog post, we will explore ways to help you recover from edibles if you accidentally take too much. We will also look at what to expect the day after eating edibles, how long the effects may last, and take a look at some of the best edibles on the market!
How To Recover Trom Edibles
Recovering from an unwanted or lingering high is something that most of us have experienced. So what are the best ways to bring you back down to earth? Let’s take a look at 4 different ways to alleviate those unwanted feelings!
1. Hydration is Key!
Dehydration can exacerbate the unwanted effects of edibles, so it’s essential to drink plenty of water. This will help flush out the THC in your system and will also help reduce that pesky dry mouth and red eyes. Personally, I like to drink coconut water or lemonade, but milk and herbal teas are popular choices too.
2. Eat Some Food!
Consuming a healthy meal can also help alleviate symptoms of THC overconsumption. Some people find that snacking on healthy foods like nuts, seeds, or vegetables can help to stabilize their blood sugar levels and keep them feeling more alert and focused during a THC come-down. Avoid sugary or processed foods, as they can lead to crashes and worsen your symptoms.
3. Sleep it off!
When all else fails, shut it down! Getting plenty of rest is essential for recovering from edibles. Taking a nap or going to bed early can help you feel more refreshed and also help to reduce feelings of anxiety or paranoia.
4. Shift your focus
Engaging in activities that distract you from the effects of the edibles can help you recover more quickly. This can include reading a book, watching a movie, or engaging in light exercise such as walking. Basically, anything that can shift your focus for a prolonged amount of time will suffice.
The Day After Eating Edibles
How you feel the day after consuming an edible will depend on a variety of factors, including the potency of the edible, the dose you consumed, your tolerance to THC, and how you reacted to the edible.
In general, it’s possible to experience some lingering effects the day after consuming an edible, such as fatigue, grogginess, or a general sense of haziness. You may feel less sharp or focused than usual, and your reaction times may be a tad slower.
How Long Does It Last?
As previously mentioned, the duration of a THC edible high can vary depending on several factors, and although the potency of the edible plays a considerable role, factors such as whether the edible was eaten on an empty or full stomach can determine the length of your high too!
The onset of a THC edible high will usually take longer to feel compared to smoking or vaping, typically taking between 30 minutes to 2 hours to take effect.
The peak effects usually occur between 2-4 hours after ingestion and gradually taper off over the next few hours. However, some people can experience lingering effects for up to 12 hours or more, especially if they have consumed a high dose or are particularly sensitive to THC.
The best practice is always to start with a low dose, be patient, and wait at least 2 hours before deciding to consume more to avoid overconsumption and unwanted side effects! It’s easy to add and harder to take away!
Best Edibles
When it comes to the best edibles, it depends on your personal preferences and needs. Some popular options include gummies, chocolates, and baked goods.
However, it’s important to choose edibles made by reputable companies that accurately label their products and use high-quality ingredients. Let’s break down some of the top weed edibles.
Baked goods
Probably the most popular way in recent years to consume cannabis edibles is through baked goods such as brownies and cookies, and cupcakes. Weed brownies have been around since the 1950s, but they became more popular in the 1960s and 1970s as part of the counterculture movement. If you like to make D.I.Y edibles at home, this is probably the easiest route to take, just be careful with your dosage and try and use quality ingredients for the best possible experience.
Gummies
Gummies are emerging as a leader in the edible game with a variety of different flavours, shapes, and dosages. This discreet method of THC consumption has become a favourite amongst cannabis users, old and new.
A lot of companies are even creating vegan and gluten-free options for weed gummies to cater to people with specific dietary restrictions.

Chocolates
THC-infused chocolates are available in various flavours and forms, such as bars, truffles, and chocolate-covered nuts.
Chocolate has been used to mask the flavour of cannabis in edibles for many years, as the strong flavour of chocolate can help to conceal the earthy taste of cannabis. Chocolate also contains compounds called flavonoids, which are known to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Some studies suggest that these compounds may enhance the effects of THC.
If chocolate is your guilty pleasure, then it’s worth checking out the Space Bars!
Astro Edibles Space Bars are delicious infusions of wonderfully paired, hand-crafted, quality Chocolate Bars. Infused with High-Grade THC Distillate extract. Each Bar has 15 breakable squares for more of a micro-dosing experience.
Beverages
THC-infused beverages are available in various forms, such as tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and soda. What might seem like a new and exciting way to consume cannabis is more of a re-emergence. The infusion of cannabis in drinks has been used for medicinal and recreational purposes for thousands of years. For example, in India, bhang, a cannabis-infused drink, has been consumed during the Holi festival for centuries!
One particular THC beverage that has gained more traction recently is THC syrup. Often confused with lean, this syrup-based THC beverage is not for the faint of heart. With the effects much stronger than regular edibles, tread cautiously. Also, it is best enjoyed when mixed with another beverage, such as sprite.
Tinctures
THC tinctures are liquid extracts that can be added to food and beverages or taken directly under the tongue. Tinctures are made by soaking the cannabis plant in a high-proof alcohol or glycerin solution, which extracts the cannabinoids and other beneficial compounds from the plant. The resulting liquid can be used sublingually (under the tongue) or added to food or drinks to create THC-infused edibles.
Tinctures are also a popular form of medical cannabis, as they can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including chronic pain, anxiety, and insomnia.
Available in both sativa and indica, Mota THC Tinctures have a great variety of tinctures for both daytime and nighttime use.
Final Thoughts
Edibles can be a fun and enjoyable way to consume cannabis, and if you accidentally overindulge, it helps to know how to recover from overconsumption.
Sometimes even if you take all the necessary precautions, you may still get a little higher than desired, so by following the steps outlined above and choosing the best edibles for your needs, you can have a positive experience with edibles and enjoy the benefits of cannabis safely and responsibly.
