Getting Rid of the Weed Hangover

What does the study say about weed hangovers?

First things first, what do the studies truly say about weed hangovers? There is a widely known study about marijuana hangover that was published way back in 1985. With 13 male participants, it was a study to determine the residual effects of marijuana use from the evening to the following morning. After conducting tests through behavioral tasks, card sorting, free recall, and time production, the finding suggests that the “hangover” effect differed from the acute effects of marijuana the day after smoking. Furthermore, a more recent study in 2017 regarding the health benefits of cannabis for chronic pain patients reported that adverse effects were described as a foggy, non-alert feeling in the morning and brain fog resembling a weed hangover.
