   I think half of the people who responded to this don’t know that some doctors give their patients weed for anxiety.
   You should probably talk it over with someone?

   Maybe you’ve been stressed recently? If so, being stressed can keep you from focusing on yourself and what’s important, thus when you’re high-while-stressed your brain is trying to focus while you keep subconsciously thinking of off-topic things (that you’re stressed about). This results in a thought-battle in your brain.
   Also, habitual and continual marijuana use can (supposedly) either bring out or amplify schizotypic traits (traits of schizophrenia).

   Aside from a subjective change in perception, the most common short-term physical and neurological effects include increased heart rate, lowered blood pressure, impairment of psychomotor coordination, concentration, and short-term memory.
   Cannabis use has been assessed by several studies to be correlated with the development of anxiety, psychosis, and depression.

   uhh i know for me i get ’sketched out’ about 10 mins after i smoke weed. i beome extremly paranoid and think cops are gonna come after me and ****. this subsides after about 15 mins, and then the high kicks in.
   if it lasts for a long time, maybe you just shouldnt smoke weed anymore. theres no fun in being sketched the whole time.

   Smoking marijuana has scientifically shown to cause anxiety and panic attacks. I would stop, if I were you. For more information check out this website: http://www.abovetheinfluence.com/facts/d…

   Same happened to me. It happens sometimes.. and it is possible you are starting to regularly develop anxiety in your life.. You could take break or you could start taking anxiety medicine.. even benedryl helps.

   I’ve never felt a positive effect from weed. Every time, I get anxious, then tired and worn down.
   As others said, it could be the quality of the drug.

   i do too
   you need Sativa instead of Indica, but usually only the connoisseurs can find a pure Sativa, because most growers prefer to grow Indica, or a cross , due to the much higher weight yields

    1) Maybe you’re smoking too much per day.
    2) Maybe you’re doing it while really stressed out and it backfires.

    Try switching kinds or smoking in different situations. Some strains can cause you to be more apprehensive than others. Some people have to quit entirely.

    because you’re smoking weed!!!! your body is probably trying to tell you that A you are destroying it and B it doesn’t like weed

    Um, that’s not an anxiety attack – it’s called being high.
