Is there anything you can do that helps bring you back from the anxious, unpleasant, freak-out type feeling when you're a little too high? I've had a handful of those type sensations so far and they are really not fun.
Example A: Got high as a kite with a friend, and managed to wobble home. I was sitting on the couch and my girlfriend was cooking in the kitchen. Our cat came over to say hello and discovered I smelled terrific. So he starts sniffing my face, which made me nervous. Then he started sniffing the keys in my pocket. Then I could've sworn he was digging in my pocket. I started to freak out right there. I grabbed him the scruff because I thought he was going to attack me, he rolled his head around and probably only had his mouth open so he could breathe, but I swear I thought he was hissing at me.
He looked just like this (If you're really high, it might freak you out- case in point) : http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/3528/ownedkt9.jpg
I screeched and dropped him and he went running off. She came in to see what the problem was, and I told her. She held my head and examined my eyes and it started to freak me out again and I asked what her problem was. "Honey, the cat was asleep on the register in the kitchen until you screamed. Your pupils are as big as your irises. You're still high as a kite."
Example B: I thought cold air would work one time, and it did. Until I walked past a display in a hardware store window with a mechanical giant Swiss Army Knife, complete with flexing blades. I stared at it for a minute or so and then it really freaked me out and I had to run away from it.
So, what helps with this kind of silliness? Obviously, not getting that high in the first place, but if I mis-gauge my hits and wind up just a bit too far north of the clouds, is there anything I can do to kill it a bit? I've found that water helps a little bit, and I've found that if I take a niacin tablet while high, it tends to kill the head buzz a fair amount. Haven't tried that yet, but I didn't have an opportunity to until last night and I forgot. I was freaking out so bad there was nothing I could do but go to sleep. So any ideas, folks?
