Why did I feel foggy after the weed session the previous night?

Posted by Wholesale Bud on March 19th, 2021

Weed smoking sessions can be one way of getting rid of weeks of stress. But, a heavy night of smoking can result in waking up to an exceptionally lazy and under the weather feeling. 

Well, this feeling is nothing but a weed hangover. We are sure that you must have heard about the hangovers from alcohol, but weed hangover is very much true too. There are several things that cause it. But before understanding the cause of a hangover, let's understand – 

What is a weed hangover?

Weed hangover is a lingering after-effect that is the result of the heavy smoking session. But, they are never as bad as alcohol hangovers. 

Smoking weed results in multiple psychological and physiological changes, meaning after hitting the weed, THC enters our bloodstreams and interacts with CB1 receptors of our endocannabinoid system, causing the effects of feeling stoned. One can also experience effects like increased appetite, reduced reaction times, dry mouth etc. Even though these effects happen within 1 to 3 hours of the session, some users may experience the effects the following day too.

The weed hangovers aren't something too concerning but can become less desirable if the following day has early meetings or other important commitments. 

What cause hangovers?

Weed hangovers can be caused due to various factors, such as:

1- High THC doses:

If you end up spending your evening on bulk-online dispensary's THC-laced brownies, then you will increase your chances of a weed hangover. This is because such an amount of THC takes longer to process, resulting in a stoned morning too. 

Even though cannabis only has effects for the next 1 to 3 hours after the session, but edibles take a long route in the body. After the digestion, the THC is transferred off to the liver, which converts it into 11-hydroxy-THC. This molecule takes a long time to shut down the effects completely. 

2- Smoking:

Smoking weed can cause more fatigue compared to vaping. Similarly, adding tobacco to the joint can lead to a sluggish and foggy feeling that lingers till the morning of the next day. 

If you have ever smoked a large cigar late at night, then you must know what we exactly mean by this. 

3- Munchies:

Cannabis is known to make users hungry, a lot hungry than one can expect. This is because THC triggers hunger hormones in our body and even moves the brain's certain area to the state of hunger. 

Eating excess food can also lead to irritability and fogginess until the following morning.
