bots84 Reviewed by bots84 on 02-25-2008. Does Eating Kill your High? When using marijuana in the smoked form, does eating cause you to loose your high? I've heard having taken too much (moreso in the eaten form) you can drink orange juice to help bring down the high. Just wondering if other foods did that in general or if it's a specific type of food. Rating: 5

Eating at the end of a high is nice for me because it helps bring me down without crashing.

I think it does bring down your high, but eating high is amazing, so if I smoke before I eat a lot of times. Same goes for showers.

so you could just be saying that you prefer to shower sober... but i effing LOVE showering high..

yeah it just kinda weirds me out..dunno. you know in billy madison when they're at one of the graduation parties, and the fat guy friend of billy's is spraying a little kid with a hose..and the kid just sits there and whines no...please...no..i tried to find it on youtube..but hopefully u know that scene. yah, thats what it feels like...just feels weird to shower high imo.

Time brings down your high, and, eating wastes time.

Well I can't offer and scientific data, but I can say that eating does not kill my high. In fact, it kind of adds to the high...

Man, I am such a glutten...

No one has the exact same body chemistry as someone else so honesty it probably just depends on the person.

I've known plenty of people including myself who "come down" when they eat.

Smoking a menthol cig after green use to make my high seem stronger in college ... but these days cig smoke will bring me down as well.

So I think it just depends.

Personal experience: No. But it's like "breaking the seal" when you're at the bar drinking... once you go the first time, you can't seem to stop.

Scientific explanation for potential high-killing (speculative):
-maybe the fat in the meal helps to metabolize/sequester the THC.
-I've heard that munchies result from weed-induced hypoglycemia. By remedying the hypoglycemia, you remedy the munchies (sometimes) and maybe lessen other effects as well?
-blood goes to the stomach for digestion (instead of to the brain, delivering the drug)

That's just a guess.
But personally, no, I don't think it matters much unless I'm just barely high to begin with. If I'm really baked it doesn't matter if I eat.
