Dive into the mysterious world of “weed shakes” as we unravel the science behind this curious cannabis-related phenomenon. If you’ve ever experienced a feeling of shakiness inside after consuming large amounts of cannabis, you’re not alone.
This article will explore the various causes, effects, and remedies for weed shakes. Plus, we’ll provide insights and tips to help users better understand and manage this curious phenomenon, ensuring a more enjoyable and comfortable cannabis experience.
Weed shakes are an unsettling yet generally harmless side effect of cannabis use, referring to uncontrollable tremors and muscle spasms experienced when consuming a large quantity of cannabis. These shakes can be pretty uncomfortable, making users feel as though they are shivering or trembling uncontrollably.
Although the exact cause of weed shakes is still unclear, several factors contribute to their occurrence. However, it’s essential to recognize four primary causes:
When it comes to the duration of weed shakes, the method of cannabis consumption and individual factors play a significant role. For those who smoke or vape cannabis, the shakes typically subside within approximately 20 minutes.
However, if you’ve consumed edibles, the tremors may last longer, possibly continuing for an hour or more due to the extended high associated with this method of consumption. It’s essential to remember that individual factors, such as tolerance levels, metabolism, and sensitivity to THC, can also influence the duration of weed shakes.
Research indicates that individuals with pre-existing anxiety or paranoia may be more susceptible to experiencing these symptoms when using cannabis.
The specific type of cannabis you consume can also influence these effects. The outcome variations depend on the precise chemical composition and concentrations of phytocannabinoids and terpenes present in cannabis.
Additionally, cannabis strains with high THC levels may trigger more adverse side effects than those with a more balanced profile. For instance, a 2017 study revealed that when healthy adults consumed 7.5mg of THC, it diminished negative emotions. Conversely, consuming 12.5mg of THC led to an increase in negative feelings.
Fortunately, there are several effective remedies to help alleviate weed shakes. These include:
By employing these strategies, you can effectively manage and prevent weed shakes, resulting in a higher level of comfort.
In conclusion, while weed shakes may be an unsettling experience, it’s crucial to remember that they are a non-dangerous side effect of cannabis consumption. By being aware of your body’s reactions and understanding the factors that contribute to weed shakes, you can take the necessary steps to avoid or manage them.
