Strange reaction to smoking weed?

60% Normal
16 Comments

I only just started smoking weed. When I tried it for the first time, I felt weird and a little twitchy, but otherwise fine. I've tried it twice since then, and both times I have uncontrollable shakes. I start out feeling great and really relaxed, but eventually I start with small rocking and then evolves to the point where it feels like I'm shaking even if I make myself stay still.

I know the weed is alright because I only smoke it with my girlfriend and she's fine. So why do I get the shakes so bad? They seem to progress until I feel like I'm having brain spasms.

Everyone tells me to calm down, but I honestly am not panicking when I start to shake. Actually, it's like if I calm down, the shakes start, but if I tense up all my muscles really hard, I can stop them for a few minutes, but then I sort of "float away" and find myself shaking again.

My girlfriend has been doing this for longer than I have, and she gets the stuff from someone who's been doing it for over forty years and claims this is the "good stuff." Could it be that my body can't handle such a strong amount of it? Should I try smoking less or tell her that I need to quit altogether?

        Same going on here. It's some seriously stupid shtuff. I'm pretty sure our minds are just fighting any sort of psychoactive drugs after a friggin bad and psychologically scarring trip. Same's true for people just starting to smoke (I used to hate the ganj) and changing how you feel about this stuff takes opening yourself up to it. It's real hard to explain, but if you're having issues with it but still want to smoke that shiz, you've got to completely relax, clear your mind, and pop some tunes. Don't talk, don't feel pressured to do or be something/someone by friends around you: just STOP CARING about everything or anything. So yeah, good luck with that haha.

    just chill dawg, it aint that hard.Youll get used to being high and then after that its smooth sailing
    and for the idoits, weed aint a drug,it grows naturally that way, theres no mixing shit in with it taking place. TOBACCO aint a drug

    Try smoking smaller quantities and less frequently. Everyone's different. You might be more suited to uppers than downers...

    It's normal to feel like you have to pop every bone in your back and shoulders. That's how i always feel.

    sometimes I'm shakey, sometimes I'm relaxed... I had one time my body spazzed uncontrollably for 3 hours... I was so sore the next day. I find it best to smoke later in the day.

    some peoples bodies react badly to marijuana, you might just be one of those people that gets a reaction to getting stoned. If it doesn't bug you, and you like the feeling you get from smoking weed then you shouldn't worry about it really, it probly just freaks other people out a bit lol, but w/e.
    if you actually feel paranoid though, or like sick, shaky feeling. you probably shouldn't be blazing.

    This exact thing happend to me.
    I had taken stacker 3's that day though.
    Maybe you drink energy drinks, coffee, or those energy shots. In combination with a good blunt I always start to get a little shakey.

    Same thing happened to me. It's just because your feeling guilty about doing it. Eat something before you do it. It'll help.
