Every time I roll & smoke a small joint (I'm a non=smoker - I smoke tealeafs with my weed) - I sometimes get an overdose (I think) cause I go into like a shivery mode. I literally sit there and shiver and shake almost violently.

What is this?

I get like a shiver and then feel cold no matter what. (but not really? if you know what I mean)

Agaain, why does this happen anyone know or experienced this before?

hmm.. well - it could be serious or not - in my case i have schizophrenia and before i was medicated i could get really nervous on weed - do you kind of feel like you are stuck sitting there? have you tried moving around and ignoring the feeling or is it too strong?

i don't mean to be a bummer and jump to conclusions - this is just an idea if this is ruining weed for you..

i am not saying you have my condition - there are lots of different issues that can create unpleasant symptoms on psychoactive drugs.. for all i know you have shell shock from the gulf..
 
Maybe you're getting dehydrated. That tends to happen right when I smoke weed, also try smoking smaller doses.
 
Marijuana has numerous physical effects on the body including altering body temperature, so it could be that your body temp has dropped. It could also be anxiety, you're just getting jittery... Marijuana definitely causes an increase in heart rate. I wouldn't worry too much about it, and I definitely wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it's Schizophrenia... I think you'd definitely know it if it were, because it would be a hell of a lot more than shivering.

It might also have something to do with the tealeaves, what kind of tea are you using?
 
Try smoking a pinch in a bowl (without the tea leaves), perhaps in a warm room. Put on a snuggie.


New smokers often experience odd side effects that tend to go away after a few months of experience. Smoking alters your BP, but it shouldn't enough that you would get "shivers". The most I can relate is when I am on amps my body temperature seems to change rapidly (when I'm rolling or on adderall) -- I think I understand what you are trying to describe.

Some new smokers get muscle spasms. This may be the case as well. Like Cereal said, I wouldn't jump to any harsh conclusions.

FYI -- you'd be hard pressed to OD on maryJ. I'm not sure there are any documented cases of such an occurence... the closest thing I could think of is "greening out" or having an anxiety attack.
 
Yeah, no such thing as an MJ OD. The most that can happen is you get really stoned and freak out or you get really stoned and pass out.
 
It could be strong muscle twitches .
Cos marijuana does create them , but they are no where near this bad.
For me anyway .

But everyone is different eh
 
I have a mate who used to pass out and shake heavily when he first started smoking weed. He had low blood pressure after smoking, not sure if it could be related to your symptoms?
 
Maybe it's because your rolling & smoking?! Taking 2 different drugs at one time will make you feel weird dude.

You're smoking caffeine, which could make you jittery. Also it could be from pot lowering your blood pressure. Try using a bowl (you might dig one hitters) and smoking small amounts at a time without tea. If you still get shaky then raise your BP before or right after smoking and see how it works.
 
I'm not a new smoker but weed sometimes, though pretty rarely, gives me the shakes. Smoking caffeine like the poster above said probably doesn't help at all either
 
When I mix weed with stimulants or dissociatives, I sometimes shake a lot, but never with weed alone, that is unless im cold. When I took speed and smoked, my legs felt like they were almost vibrating because they were shaking really fast.
 
Try not tothink what is hapening at your body.You may cousing this symptoms your self.weed is a phsycodilodic drug (the only one among any other phsycoactive substances)
just smoke it and do what ever u whwre doing or u want to do without thinking like"how iam i? is it hapening again? etc"
Always remember that there is a chancr of drveloping phsicosis or scizofrenia by using weed.(only a 7=9% ) medical name canavoidic phsycosis but u would know by know from strange symtopms like hearing voices etc.the tee leaves that u are smoking uour weed with also containing theobromine,theophylline,Theanine, and tanines.
do mot smoke alone canavis is ment to be used with others (sosial drug)
If this continious means that u arenot enjouinh enyway so quit for 3 weeks and theb try again with smaller doses at the begining.
I hopeI helped.
 
this happens to me. i am a daily smoker and it only happens when I smoke certain kinds of weed! Usually weed labeled "haze" does this to me.....and usually only after a blunt of it.

I do have lowish blood pressure. And If it's cold, I shiver A LOT if stoned., no matter what kind of weed it was.
 
Yea i shake a lil bit on ceartain strains. I know a lil off topic but if im on psychs or rolling i will get REALLY cold and shaky even if it is'nt that cold ! I always thought it was strange
