I like to smoke marijuana to deal with depression, anger control, and swinging emotions. I have been smoking on and off due to legal reasons for a few years now. This next part is going to sound even stranger. For the first 20 minutes or so that I'm high I feel different parts of my body twitching rapidly, either almost all at once, or one after another. I know this is real because I see it when I look in the mirror sometimes. This is very frightening to me and makes me feel like a maniac. I'm sharing this because I want to see if anyone else out there gets the same thing as me, and if they got over it. I even read the anxiety attack posts and it isn't helping me because when this twitching happens there is no way to stop it. It only stops after the initial effects of cannabis weaken, which are the effects I crave the most. Due to the twitching it's hard to enjoy them though...

When I'm high and I smoke menthol cigarettes (I don't smoke cigarettes regularly), my whole body shakes. All of my muscles tighten. It's an incredible rush, and I actually kind of enjoy it.

I think it happens just because there is an overload of substance going into my body. Like, if my body could talk, it'd ask for some fresh air.

I don't have the slightest clue what could be causing your problem, but I think if you just take steps to relax while you're smoking, it could really help. A lot of times, if I'm uncomfortable or whatever, weird things will happen. (For instance, the first couple times I smoked with my boyfriend right after we just met, I was so nervous around him that I'd get very weird highs.)

But if you try smoking with people you're super-comfortable with, or alone, and just relax, listen to music, and chill out for a while, you'll be alright.

You could also try taking a couple aspirin with a little alcohol - that always relaxes me when I smoke.

this sound like a great way to kill your liver.

I suspect it's something like hiccups, where parts of your nervous system get temporarily out of sync.

I've had it happen several times, sometimes high on marijuana and sometimes not. I'll be sitting quietly, reading a book or watching TV, and my triceps muscle will start to contract and relax at random. If I move around a little it stops. I've had the same thing happen with other muscles in my arms, legs, chest, and face.

Does this sound similar to what's happening to you?

To an extent, yes it is similiar. But it only happens when I am high and sometimes it feels like I can control doing it. Like I'll twitch my chest when I'm paranoid and the paranoia will temporarily go away. But then other times it is uncontrollable and I feel like my whole body is trembling. Like you said, it goes away when I walk around, but I'm not gonna walk around every second I'm high. It's very weird and hard to explain. I wish I knew how to make it stop and fully enjoy my high.

Methinks Brother QuestionMark has been sniffing heavily at the acetone. Anyone with half a brain left (acetone kills lots of brain cells) would know that his suggestions are a good way to end up six feet under the ground.

I don't know whether he made that post in hopes of killing someone, but that could easily be the result if anyone was stupid enough to follow his suggestions.

I'm in conversation with the admins right now about getting him permanently banned from this site.

QuestionMark

permanently banned? lets not jump to conclusions here. i apologize for dispersing the info on aetone. i have learned my lesson. i apologize to everyone, but most of all to you buzzby. i enjoy checking this site a few times a day to see what things you have posted. i am sorry that i hurt your feelings and i will never do it again.

i am so sorry

i place myself at your mercy

You didn't hurt my feelings. You endangered the lives of our members by suggesting that they do things to get high that could quite easily kill them. I take that very seriously and it goes way beyond "I'm so sorry".
