420 Hangover? Here's How to Recover Like a Pro
Whew. You did it! You celebrated 420 like a champion. Whether you went all in with our Out-of-This-World Strain Picks or kept it chill with some low-dose cannabis beverages, chances are you’re feeling a little… sluggish. A bit foggy. Maybe still stuck on the couch wondering where all the snacks went. It’s okay! You might just be experiencing the classic 420 hangover.
First off: yes, a cannabis hangover is real, though it’s a lot gentler than the kind caused by alcohol. The most common “morning after” effects include grogginess, dry mouth, slight headache, and feeling like your brain’s still buffering. Usually, this happens after overindulging–think high-potency edibles, a terp-heavy strain lineup, or marathon seshes that turned into “just one more bowl” situations.
To bounce back, hydration is your best bud. Water, herbal teas, and electrolyte drinks can work wonders to reboot your system. Bonus points for drinks with ginger or lemon–they’re soothing and refreshing. Your endocannabinoid system may be a little overwhelmed, so give it some love with healthy food, light movement, and (yes) a solid nap if you can swing it.
And if you’re looking to ease back into things slowly, consider reaching for some CBD. It won’t get you high, but it might help calm your nervous system and bring some gentle balance. Our educational guide dives deeper into how this non-intoxicating cannabinoid supports recover and relaxation. CBD can be especially helpful if you’re still feeling mentally foggy but need to get on with your day.
You might also want to check out how terpenes–the aromatic compounds in cannabis–played a role in your 420 experience. Strains high in myrcene or linalool, for example, can have strong sedative effects. Understanding terpenes can help you plan better for future activities.
Still moving slow? Embrace it! A light cleanup session, paired with your favorite mellow playlist, can be surprisingly therapeutic. Our blog on Spring Cleaning with Cannabis has some great tips on using cannabis mindfully to refresh your space and mindset. You might even discover a new favorite ritual that makes the post-420 haze feel more like a reset than a crash.
