Wondering what is the typical duration for the effects of being high to wear off? or how long it takes to come down from a high? The duration can vary based on several factors, including the substance consumed, its potency, and individual differences.
There are times when you might need to quickly come down, especially if you have responsibilities later in the day. At DispenseroO.cc, we believe in giving you the power to manage your cannabis experience. Although there’s no foolproof method to determine the exact duration, there are several factors to take into account.

Determining Factors on How to Come Down from a High
When it comes to sobering up from being high, several factors come into play, including your body, the type of cannabis strain, and how you consumed it. But how exactly do these factors influence your high?
Your Body
Your individual metabolism plays a crucial role in how you experience the effects of cannabis. Metabolism refers to how your body processes substances, similar to how it processes food.
- Metabolic Rate:
- Slow Metabolism: Individuals with slower metabolisms may take longer to feel the effects of cannabis after consumption.
- Similarly, it may also take a longer time for the effects to wear off, making it more challenging to sober up from being high.
- Fast Metabolism: Conversely, those with faster metabolisms experience the intoxicating effects more quickly but also metabolize them at a faster rate, leading to a shorter duration of the high.
- Tolerance:
- Over time, regular cannabis consumers can develop a tolerance to its effects. This increased tolerance can make it easier to come down from a high.
- Individuals who frequently consume cannabis may find that their tolerance levels lead to shorter high experiences, whereas first-time users may feel intoxicated for a longer duration.
Type of Cannabis
The composition of CBD and THC varies in each strain of cannabis. For many weed smokers, the primary goal is to experience the psychoactive effects of THC and observe how their body responds to it.
Different strains of cannabis plants contain varying levels of THC, leading to diverse reactions. For instance, Sativa strains tend to induce creativity and energy, while Indica strains are more associated with calming effects.
Individuals may react differently to Sativa versus Indica strains. Furthermore, hybrid strains combine these effects to produce a unique experience. While someone may have built up a tolerance to their usual strain, they may experience a longer-lasting high with a hybrid strain.
Does Consuming Food Diminish Your High?
How you consume it
The speed at which THC enters your bloodstream determines how quickly it affects your body. Your method of cannabis consumption dictates the rate at which it enters your bloodstream and how long it takes to sober up from being high:
Smoking
- Quick Bloodstream Absorption: THC enters the bloodstream rapidly.
- Fast Onset of High: High begins quickly after consumption.
- Duration: Typically lasts for approximately one to four hours.
Vapour Inhalation
- Fast Bloodstream Absorption: Similar to smoking, THC quickly enters the bloodstream.
- Quick Onset of High: High starts shortly after inhalation.
- Duration: Lasts roughly one to four hours.
- Enhanced Effect: Vapor inhalation often results in a stronger effect due to the heated cannabis resin.
Eating Edibles
- Slower Bloodstream Absorption: THC enters the bloodstream more slowly via digestion.
- Delayed Onset of High: High usually begins about 30 to 60 minutes after consumption.
- Extended Duration: Due to the slow digestion process, the high can last longer than six hours.
How long does cannabis withdrawal last?
Pairing cannabis with other substances
When you combine smoking weed with other substances, such as alcohol or certain foods, your high may last longer.
Some foods contain chemical compounds that can prolong the effects of THC. For instance, anecdotal evidence suggests that certain fruits, like mangoes, may enhance the duration of the high.
How to Stop a High?
There are various reasons why you might want to learn how to stop being high. For instance, you might be experiencing negative effects such as an increased heart rate or dry mouth. Since each person’s body reacts differently to cannabis, it’s possible to have a negative experience.
While not every method to sober up from being high will work for everyone, here are a few strategies you can try:
- Relaxation and Showering: If you’re experiencing anxiety or an increased heart rate, try to relax. Calming down can help alleviate the effects. Taking a cold shower can also aid in sobering up your body.
- Consuming Foods with Terpenoid Compounds: Certain foods containing terpenoids can reduce the effects of THC on the body. Examples include lemons and black pepper. Additionally, these foods can shock your system and make you feel more alert.
- Sleeping: While it may seem counterproductive, sleeping can actually help your body process what you’ve consumed, including food and cannabis. It allows your body to recover and can help reduce the duration of the high.
