How to deal with common hangover symptoms?
“Cannabis Hangover.” The topic has been at the forefront of debates for many years. But we still don’t know the whole story. Many people believe that the herb is safe for those suffering from hangovers. And there are many people who think differently.
Regardless of the debate surrounding its validity however, the cannabis hangover seems to be a real phenomenon. Research on this topic is still very limited. The anecdotal evidence shows that some people can have symptoms as soon a day after having smoked cannabis. Individual symptoms may vary and include dry eyes (lethargy), fatigue, headaches and others.
Now, the question is: what do you do when you feel like you are having a marijuana hangover?
This is especially true if you apply for an MMJ certificate. Your experience will be positive if you are aware of your surroundings.
The Most Common Cannabis Hangover Symptoms
There is no research supporting the notion of cannabis hangover. But, anecdotal accounts show that cannabis hangover can cause some common symptoms. These are:
- Fatigue or Brain Fog
- Headache
- Nausea
- Red Eyes
Let’s take a closer look at how you might treat them, one-by-one.
Treatments
Fatigue and Brain Fog
Have you ever felt a little unfocused or groggy as you woke up in the early morning? If you answered yes, you might have experienced brain fog. This after-effect can be extremely unpleasant and hard to remove. There are a few things that you could do.
It is important to get moving. Although it might seem simple, if you are feeling tired and have a fog of mind, sitting on the couch all day may be an option. But you gotta get your body a little movement.
A nice, cold shower is another way to get yourself out of your misery. The cool water will help to refresh your senses.
Your foggy brain, tired body, and mind may benefit from a good cup of strong coffee.
Being healthy and hydrated can make your day easier.
Headache
Headaches are often linked to cannabis hangover. Many believe it is due to dehydration. This theory doesn’t support any evidence. The possibility exists that you may not be drinking enough marijuana. Due to this, you may wake up feeling dehydrated and have headaches.
You should consider all of these things when you get a headache the next day after using marijuana.
- Temple Massage
- Cold Compresses
- OTCs are such things as ibuprofen or aspirin.
Nausea
Nausea, although not common in cannabis hangovers, is a common symptom. However, it is still very unpleasant. The best thing to do is let it pass. If you are feeling severe, it is best to keep hydrated, and eat mild, gentle foods. After consulting with your doctor, you can consider taking anti-nausea drugs.
Dry Eyes
THC may cause your ocular vessels to dilate. This could lead to increased blood flow to the eyes and reddened eyes. Even though the discomfort doesn’t last, it can be severe. If your eyes feel red and dry, consider applying quality eye drops.
