There are numerous benefits of smoking weed, such as reducing stress, relieving pain, and increasing appetite. However, weed has been proven to lower inhibitions, which means that while there are things you should do while high because they’re more enjoyable – like listening to music and yoga- there are also things that you shouldn’t do while your inhibitions are low.
Here are things not to do while high with weed.
Online Shopping
Weed makes everything feel great, including online shopping. The problem is that this makes you more likely to buy things you don’t need when you’re high. So before you start browsing Amazon for that new coffee maker or the latest samsung galaxy phone, make sure you’re sobered up.
To stop yourself from potentially maxing out your credit card, delete all your online shopping apps. That way, you’ll have to make a conscious effort to go to the website, which can give you time to sober up and think.
If you’d rather not delete the apps, set yourself a spending limit on your cards or banking app. That way, even if you do make purchases while high, you won’t spend all your money.
Eating Too Much
Weed makes you hungry, and it’s no surprise that you might end up eating more than you normally would when you’re high. But eating too much can mean nausea, vomiting, or unwanted weight gain. So it’s important to control how much you eat while you’re high.
A good rule of thumb is to start with a small amount of food and then wait a few minutes to see how you feel. Then, if you’re still hungry, you can have a little bit more. This is better than eating excessively at the first food craving.
Answering Work Emails
Answering work emails while you’re high is a bad idea for many reasons. For one thing, you might say something you shouldn’t in an email and get yourself into trouble- like revealing confidential client information or insulting a coworker.
Then, you’re also more likely to make mistakes in your email – including grammatical errors when you’re high. Again, this will reflect poorly on you.
Texting an Ex
It happens – you smoke a joint, and suddenly, you start thinking about your ex. Then, before you know it, you’ve sent them a long, rambling text message about how much you miss them.
Doing this will likely make your ex feel uncomfortable, and worse, it can make you seem desperate and needy – two things that can push your ex further away and even get them to block you.
If you think about an ex while you’re high, put your phone away and distract yourself with something else until the urge passes like a dramatic Netflix show.
Smoking weed can make you do things you normally wouldn’t do. So it’s important to be aware of the potential risks and take steps to avoid them. By following the tips above, you can help ensure that you have a safe and enjoyable experience when smoking weed.
