Try Alternate Nostril Breathing
- Draws attention to mindful breathing, calming the nervous system and lowering heart rate
- (Plug left nostril and breathe through right nostril filling lungs fully. Then plug both nostrils and hold breath for 5 seconds. After 5 seconds, release the left nostril and exhale fully. At the bottom of the exhale, hold again for five seconds. Repeat cycle for 5-10 minutes and notice a sense of relaxation)
Try CBD
- Studies show a small amount CBD can counteract the cognitive effects of THC. Some state (Martha Montemayor, COSCC.org) that larger amounts of CBD can actually increase the THC affects so caution callers.
- Route:
  - Oral / Tincture (Hemp CBD or CBD isolate would be best since little to no THC)
  - Inhalation for fastest acting if product is CBD only, no THC
Talk It Out
- Call a trusted friend to sit with you while you transition from the high
