sometimes when i smoke up these days i get a major case of the shakes, where my whole body shakes uncontrollably. the shakes are very similiar to when you are very cold, although i am not normally cold when i get them. it usually happens when i smoke large amounts of weed, although can happen after even just a small amount. it is starting to piss me off

if anyone else has experienced this, please write, i would appreciate hearing your comments.

Do you smoke ciggerettes and drink soda or other drinks with large amounts of caffiene?

this same thing happens to me but I've noticed it when I'm in an uncomfortable situation like around people I don't know. This also happens when I smoke a lot or inhale some real good shnit. It's really effed up. It really is uncontrollable, though. I suggest you investigate what triggered this in you, maybe your environment, the people around you, any inputs, maybe even sound... It's got a be something and I regret saying but it might be the weed/your tollerance. Explore yourself

Oh yes I forgot, your mind state can be a major factor. try only smoking when you feel good with a lot of self esteem and confidence, if weed causes your uneasiness then you're probably just being too self-conscious or else you're really stoned...

thanks for the replies DaisyCrazy and Greenman.

thinking about it, i do drink a bit of coffee... but i dont believe this is the trigger, although i have had the jitters from drinking too much coffee thanks for the info. i was thinking about the nights it has happened, and i was rather uncomfortable when it happened so yes i do believe the set/setting/people i was around was the trigger.

thankyou

If your surrounding are not the cause just take five minutes away from distraction and concentrate on the shakes. it could just be with me but when i concentrate hard enough when i'm high i realize that its not my muscles spasming its my subconscious making them do it. Once you realize its your brain not your body making you shake then its just a simple matter of telling your brain to stop. Hope this helps. this worked for me.

Auntmary,

I too had these exact same shakes you speak of. Kinda like you can't stay seated anymore, and you need to stand up. And even when youa re standing your teeth are sorta clinched, and you have shortness of breath in a way.

Well i have gotten "the shakes" on a few occasions. The first couple of times i just lived em out standing up, freaking out cause i didn't know what was happening. However after the 3rd or so time i found a fast, simple solution. When you feel the shakes coming on, or you are already shaking, find a chair, or a recliner and lean over it with your head almost plane with your stomach.

I found that this after a min or two completely calms me down, and i am back to 100% normal. But yea, those shakes can be freaky, though i havn't gotten them in a while.

I noticed the times i had the shakes occured in my basement the first times i smoked in my house. Maybe it was paranoia, but i doubt a cold room can make someoen shake like i did, and like you were.

Hope that is of any help.
