I would first recommend smoking less weed per session. Just increase the number of sessions throughout the day (depending on how long you want to stay high). Your energy is becoming too Yang (from the chinese medical theory, meaning, but not limited to "hot", "expressive", "active").

By lowering the dosage taken at one time helps to keep the body regulated, and it prevents the body from becoming too imbalanced. I find that drinking ice-cold water before, during, and after my sessions helps greatly when I smoke a particulary "Yang" oriented strain. Regular weed smokers tend to carry less water anyway, and dehydration can affect us to a greater level than non-practitioners.

Engaging in an activity to rid the body of the "Yang" energy also is another great way of getting the body back into balance. I personaly do internal martial arts, chi gung, yoga, or stretching during this time because you can expel the uneeded energy while not getting the body too hot, or shortening the breath too much.

This could create even more unecessary Yang energy. Running, weight training, and the like, create a more expressive energy and should be avoided during this time. FWIW, I generaly do these activities more often on the down slope of the high, although when your energy becomes more regulated you are not restricted to this time period.

If you are sedentary and do not have a way of balancing the energy through these means, I find it helps to focus on your breathing, when experiencing these and other types of side effects (i.e parinoia, chaoitc thoughts, insomnia, or general unrest.

Particularly, focus on the exhalation. Make your out-breath is at least twice as long as your in-breath. It also helps to focus on the breath an the entrance of the nose to give your mind a focal point. Be sure to breathe through the nose. You can regulate the breath easier, and it allows for a more controlled exhalation.

Finally, if you know the strain that you are smoking it could help to determine a better dosage, intake method, or possibly help find out if you need to try another type of herb. Also list any other drugs that you may be taking currently including perscriptions, caffeine, alchohol, recreational, and yes, even sugar levels.

Feel free to IM me on any questions you may have.

Anyway, good luck. I hope this helps.
