Tics Worse When Consuming Edibles: Anyone Else?

Does anyone here have any experience with their tics being worse when they get “too high”? (Disclaimer: I am Autistic, I do not have TS, and I do experience tics when I am sober) In my case, it exclusively happens when I consume edibles. I always consume half (or less) of the recommended amount, yet I almost always have intense and awful experiences. I essentially experience a bad trip, but with strange and exhausting dystonic (?) tics. These tics are almost exclusively in my feet and legs, are constant, and last for as long as I am high. The last time this occurred was this past week. I experienced terrifying racing intrusive thoughts. The muscles in my legs and feet were so exhausted. I don’t think I’ll ever consume another edible.

I definitely tic more when high, but I smoke very often and am used to it now. When I first started I would get intense leg twitches and uncontrollable movement but I think that was more restless leg syndrome than anxiety induced tics. Once my tolerance went up the tics calmed down a lot. It should relax your muscles, so I think a lot of it was my muscles not knowing how to fully relax and subconsciously fighting it. However it effects everyone differently and some people just have adverse reactions so I'd say avoid it if the negative outweighs the positive.

The two times I got high I was too high to notice if I ticced or not .. but I don't think I did.. (granted, my medication neutralizes most of my tics .. except when it decides not to :v) I have Autism and TS

I recently mixed alcohol, a little caffeine, 2 dexis and an edible. I had a severe tic attack that basically looked like a seizure
