There are a range of tactics that may help reduce the likelihood of the weed shakes or ease them if they’ve already set in. These include:
Keep warm
Wrapping up warm is a quick and easy fix to cease unwanted shaking, especially since it may be THC decreasing your body temperature that is causing it. Calming yourself down represents another. DiFrancesco recommends, “The best way to treat cannabis shakes is to be in a state of calm when you can, stay warm, and to stop or reduce cannabis consumption if the shakes get too much.”
Take deep breaths
If you’re feeling shaky and anxious, focus on taking deep, slow breaths to activate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system. Entering a parasympathetic state helps the body to relax by entering rest mode, instead of fight or flight mode. Playing soothing music may also help to distract the mind and body from shaking and promote a more mellow state.
Restrict the use of other stimulants
Restricting the use of other stimulants may also be vital to stopping the shakes. “If your weed shake episodes are caused by overstimulation, it is best to lessen the consumption of other stimulants,” says Zadoorian. “Stay away from tobacco, coffee, and tea.”
Consider CBD products
Finally, CBD may be a game-changer in mitigating tremors. CBD has been recognized to alleviate some of the unwanted side effects of too much THC, such as anxiety and psychomotor impairment.
