We have all been there — I got way too high and could not finish filming the video. While recording the “How to Upgrade Your Bong” episode, Fordee took two massive rips and completely checked out. The result? Staring at smoke clouds, forgetting what he was doing, and tapping out on camera. Here is the uncut footage from that session, plus 5 signs you have overdone it with cannabis.
What Happened When I Got Way Too High
The plan was simple: film a bong upgrade tutorial while demonstrating the product. Two hits in, the plan fell apart. Instead of continuing the review, Fordee found himself mesmerized by the smoke swirling in front of the studio light, completely forgetting the camera was rolling. The video was never released as a full review — instead, these clips became a hilarious reminder that even experienced cannabis users can overdo it.
I Got Way Too High — 5 Signs You Overdid It
Whether you are a daily smoker or a casual user, these are the telltale signs that you consumed too much cannabis:
1. You Forget What You Were Doing
Mid-sentence blanks are the classic sign. You start a task, pause, and suddenly have no idea why you are standing in the kitchen holding a spatula. In this video, Fordee forgot he was supposed to be filming a review and just stared at smoke for several minutes.
2. You Cannot Stop Staring at Something
When you get too high, ordinary things become fascinating. A cloud of smoke, the pattern on your ceiling, or the way light hits a glass of water can hold your attention for an unreasonable amount of time. If you catch yourself zoning out on nothing for 10 minutes straight, you overdid it.
3. You Start Breathing Manually
This one is familiar to heavy users. Suddenly you become hyper-aware of your breathing and feel like you need to consciously inhale and exhale. It passes, but in the moment it can feel intense. Deep slow breaths through your nose help.
4. Simple Tasks Feel Impossible
Talking to a camera, finishing a sentence, or even standing up can feel like climbing a mountain. When I got way too high during this filming session, even pressing the stop button on the camera felt like a monumental decision.
5. You Tap Out
The ultimate sign: you voluntarily give up whatever you were doing and surrender to the couch. There is no shame in tapping out. Sometimes the best move is to put everything down, grab some water, and let it ride.
3 Tips to Come Back Down
- Drink water and eat something — Hydration and food help your body process cannabinoids faster. Snacks with black pepper (like crackers) contain beta-caryophyllene, which may help reduce THC anxiety.
- Take slow, deep breaths — Focus on breathing in through your nose for 4 counts, hold for 4, and out through your mouth for 4. This calms your nervous system.
- Change your environment — Step outside for fresh air, take a shower, or put on a familiar comfort show. A change of scenery can break the loop of overthinking.
Why It Happens to Experienced Users Too
Even daily cannabis users can get caught off guard. A new strain, a bigger dab than expected, or hitting a bong with better airflow can deliver more THC than you planned for. The lesson from this “I got way too high” moment is simple: know your limits, start with smaller hits when trying new setups, and never feel bad about tapping out early.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you overdose on cannabis?
No fatal overdose from cannabis alone has been documented. However, consuming too much can cause temporary discomfort including anxiety, paranoia, dizziness, and nausea. These effects pass with time.
How long does being too high last?
Depending on the method of consumption, the peak effects of overconsumption typically last 1 to 3 hours for smoking and vaping. Edibles can last longer, sometimes 4 to 8 hours.
Does CBD help when you are too high?
Some users report that CBD helps counteract THC-induced anxiety. Having a CBD tincture or vape cart on hand can be useful for moments when you feel overwhelmed.
