why does [smoked] cannabis make muscles tight?

i don't know if this happens to anyone else, but i took a two hits a few hours ago, and within minutes, all my muscles tense up, or at least i can feel them more and they feel tense.
i stretched and worked out, and stretched again, but this happens even on days when i haven't worked out, and usually happens to some extent if i have been smoking on a regular basis (had been about 5 days with no smoke/high until this afternoon and two weeks prior)
does this happen to other people to? and if so, when/where do you notice it the most?
it happens to me the most in the shoulders and neck, a little bit around the upper chest and back
also, any explanation (blood flow, maybe?) of why this would occur?

although i used to do it before/after runs and i still didn't feel anything like that.

Never noticed such an effect. I just relax and mellow out while sounds from a distance echo within me.

Sometimes I get restless feet, bobbing knees from smoking. I always chalked it up to the weed heightening my anxieties.
-------------------- "And we, inhabitants of the great coral of the Cosmos, believe the atom (which still we cannot see) to be full matter, whereas, it too, like everything else, is but an embroidery of voids in the Void, and we give the name of being, dense and even eternal, to that dance of inconsistencies, that infinite extension that is identified with absolute Nothingness and that spins from its own non-being the illusion of everything."

maybe it is just me, then 
dr: i too really notice the pressure change in my eyes
edit: i can also really feel it in my jaw, but that's probably because i have/had TMJ, arthritis in it, and the ball in each jaw side is upside down compared to most peoples

Only when its cold as fuck. Sometimes when its just a little cold, but after you smoke you concentrate on it more. A loop of sorts.

when I smoke weed and have anxiety it results in muscles tensing up and the shakes
it sucks but doesnt happen too often
also like someone else said - cold temp contributes as well and feels colder after I smoke

i got paraniod the first few times i smoked weed though, i thought i was too high..i wasnt scared of the cops or anyone, i just thought i was too high. But this was years before i knew the true meaning of being high.. I still dont though, i have never had a very high dose of lsd, shrooms or drugs like that..so i still have no clue what it is like to be REALLY high.

You could go back and read the Thumbprint thread, or even the guidelines of Yageman, if you trust him.

Just as long as you know that the experience of psychedels is very different from anything you could get from "hard" drugs (i.e. cocaine, heroin, etc. ...)

Sounds to me like an anxiety response - your body tensing up because of the fight-or-flight mode being activated. Weed isn't all relaxation you know.

I agree with wiccan. I think it's more inadvertent than direct. I personally loosen up by leaps and bounds. I always smoke before I work out.
After I get to the gym and perform a couple of work sets I usually crack my lower back (bad habit) and it cracks sooooo easily. I also have more flexibility in my tendons and ligaments. Blood flow is much improved as it takes less work out sets to comfortably move into hostile territory. I lift heavy weights and train with lots of intensity, and I seriously feel deprived if I don't lift stoned.
When I abstain from recreational smoking, I usually still take a toke before the gym. I sure don't get tense when I smoke. Never. Some strains make me loosen up more than others, but it's never been the other way around. I can get twitchy if I overindulge however.

This happens to me almost every single time I smoke. I haven't been able to pinpoint the causes, but I know that it helps to drink water. Dehydration may cause muscle cramps. It also helps to crack your knuckles, pop your back, roll your shoulders and your neck, and stretch out. Sometimes I wonder if I'm always this sore and tense, and I just don't realize it because I don't take the time to pay attention to my body unless I'm high. Or, maybe I just sit too still and don't drink enough water when I smoke. Either way, what you're experiencing is normal. Just take the time to stretch and keep hydrated.

That's OK. There's nothing wrong with contributing useful information to an old discussion.
This happens to me, too, and I've always been curious about it.

Try taking magnesium, I do this before trips and I feel it helps a lot. If you don't have magnesium on hand eat some nuts like almonds or dark leafy greens they are high in magnesium.
