Why The Uncontrollable Shaking MJ?

[Cudi]

Hate to always mention this whenever I smoke pot, but weed just hasn't been the same ever since an LSD trip gone horribly wrong two years ago. I am slightly high while typing this almost an hour into a 10mg edible gummy made with super lemon haze (sativa). I can feel that the uncontrollable shaking might happen soon to my whole body since my legs are being affected right now. I know 10mg isn't much at all, which is why I'm so weirded out pretty much almost every time I get high now. I can never gain a tolerance, and one bong rip can blast me into the worst shaking panic attack ever where I feel close to insanity/death. But while I'm high, I always realize that its my thoughts controlling it, though this doesn't always stop it. Sometimes it does though, and I tell myself "ok this doesn't have to be the worst high of your life you can turn it into the best instead." And I realize the potential of how the remainder of the high can go either way based on thoughts.

Basically, does anyone else get extreme anxiety from very small amounts of weed and have uncontrollable full body shaking? When I say shaking, I mean like shivering/vibrating its so bad. When this happens i usually cant talk because of how shaky I am, and when i do talk my voice is extremely shaky to where it would certainly worry someone who im with if i spoke or if they saw my body shakes. I honestly dont even know why I still get high from pot. Is the high really worth the full blown panic attacks? Also when this happens its hard to breathe, swallow, walk, and my heart races rapidly.

I have experienced exactly this. It isn't a common occurrence for me but it didn't matter the amount I used, I had difficulty stopping the shaking despite strong mental awareness that I am on weed so this is baseless symptoms.

I have been able to have fewer and fewer of these episodes as I educate myself more about my drug use and abuse. Most times I think I was bringing these on myself kind of psychosomatic. Despite that they sucked balls. Haven't experienced anxiety on weed now in months. It's been very freeing.

weed is notorious for its bad anxiety producing effects these days. i been seeing these threads monthly for a long time.

yes, we all experience it from time to time. yes it's normal.

just don't do something your body isn't enjoying.

the high is not worth it if you're getting full blown panic attacks. it's a similar notion to when psychedelics turn on people. yes they give us euphoria but sadly come with a mental counterpart that must be under control.

Had you eaten beforehand? Are you skinny?

Cannabis can cause a drop in blood sugar. I'm thin and if I haven't eaten beforehand and get high it sometimes happens.

I'm a skinny dude. I get the shakes from huge dabs or bong hits. I have realized over the years that the trembling anxiety was a HUGE drop in blood pressure and blood sugar. I now only smoke with healthy snacks / juice within reach. Problem fixed itself and I became more aware of my tendencies to underfeed myself.

I know it's normal from time to time, but shit it happens to me more times than it doesn't these days. I envy those who can take bowl after bowl and keep getting higher without the bad anxiety. Used to be me a few years ago, not anymore. Whatever I guess lol

Yes I had eaten and yeah I'm pretty skinny I guess. About 165 pounds and a little over 6'1"
