What Should You Not Do While High? A Safety Guide
Avoid driving, operating machinery, cooking complex meals, texting or calling exes, making big decisions, and consuming more cannabis if you're anxious. Stick to low-risk activities like nature walks or creative hobbies. If you're in Tracy, CA, our team can guide you to safe options.
Safe and Fun Things to Do Instead
A good fit if…
- You want to relax – Low-key activities like bird watching or sitting by a campfire keep you calm and grounded.
- You're alone – Creative hobbies like drawing, journaling, or playing an instrument are perfect solo options.
- You're bored – Watching weirdly specific YouTube videos or browsing funny memes can be entertaining without risk.
- You're with friends – A water balloon fight, board games, or a nature hike are social and safe.
Consider another option if…
- You're prone to anxiety – Avoid overly stimulating activities; choose calm, familiar settings.
- You need to be productive – Simple tasks like organizing a drawer or watering plants can be satisfying.
How to decide: Match the activity to your high's intensity. If you're feeling energetic, try a walk or a craft. If you're couch-locked, stick to movies or music. Our team at Garden of Eden in Tracy can suggest products that suit your desired experience.
Edibles: What to Avoid and How to Handle Them
Edibles hit differently than smoking—they take longer to kick in and last much longer. Avoid mixing with alcohol or other drugs, and never drive after consuming. Here's what to know:
| Question | Key Point | What to Do |
|---|---|---|
| How many edibles equal a joint? | Varies by potency; a 10mg edible roughly equals a joint for many users. | Start low, wait 2 hours before redosing. |
| Is a 100mg gummy a lot? | Yes, for most people—can cause intense effects. | If you're new, choose 5-10mg. For daily users, still caution. |
| How to flush edibles out of your system? | No quick fix; THC stays in fat cells. | Hydrate, exercise, and wait; drug tests may still detect it. |
| Will you fail a drug test after edibles? | Yes, likely—edibles contain THC that shows up in tests. | Plan ahead if you have a test. |
| How to come down from edibles? | Relax, stay calm, and distract yourself. | Try deep breathing, eat a snack, or rest. |

Movies and Shows to Skip When You're High
Some media can trigger anxiety or a bad trip. Avoid intense horror films, psychological thrillers, or shows with heavy violence—these can amplify paranoia. Also, skip anything with fast-paced editing or loud, jarring sounds.
Instead, choose light comedies, nature documentaries, or familiar favorites. If you're watching YouTube, avoid weirdly specific videos that might be unsettling; stick to funny or calming content. Remember, your high is about relaxation, not stress.
