What Would Cause The High From Smoking Weed To Persist For Over 24 Hours?

I usually smoke weed twice a week to help with my anxiety (it’s not prescribed). I smoked weed last night around 7:30pm, I woke up this morning to go to school, and I was still high. It’s about 9pm now, and I’m still high. This has never happened to me before, and i am kind of freaking out because i don’t know how to make it go away

Hi,

Generally, it is because something other than cannabis is in the weed. There can also be psychological effects making someone feel high when one is not. Less commonly, there's a medical condition, that makes someone feel funny, but in the context of taking cannabis, someone expects it to be the cannabis. I cannot be said in your particular situation.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
