Anxiety that will make you hate your life for years and make weed even worse. Ive seen it a thousand times, how can people think this drug is so harmless?
Im beginning to think that the paranoia experienced while high(which is not the result of it being illegal) activates parts of the brain regulating anxiety. The more this part of the brain is activated, the easier it is to become anxious to benign stimuli.
So yeah just wanted to get that out there, I know literally tons of people smoking weed who have serious anxiety problems. This drug is serious despite everyone's best efforts to convince themselves its not.
ps.-- i added a bit of exaggeration just lettin you know though, weed is def a serious contributor to most peopels anxiety problems.
No. Want to know what caused anxiety? Acceleration of your heart rate. Smoking weed causes this while the effect is minimal if you vape and most times doesn't occur at all at the right temp.
SMOKING WEED IS STUPID. Vaporizing is vastly superior. You save. You taste. You get a nicer high. End of story.
YES SMOKING WEED IS SOOOOOO STUPID
I WAS A FOOL TO SMOKE SO MUCH WEED, IT GAVE ME CANC- uhh wait what? yea vapings better but smoking it isn't stupid brah

imo green doesnt cause anxiety, it just intensifies problems that already exist... to make you aware of them.

I think you missed his point. He is saying when you have the (easily) obtainable option of getting a vaporizer, there is no point in smoking, and I agree, smoking is stupid. Do I smoke weed sometimes? Yes. After getting a vaporizer though it seems so stupid to waste my health. After I vape, I can get deep, deep breaths and feel just great. After smoking my mouth is dry, my lungs are irritated, I'm coughing and just overall I feel dragged down

I only get anxious with sativas and I think a lot of people smoking weed that are posting these kind of threads probably are doing the same without knowing it. I have never once been anxious off an indica no matter how potent it was if anything it makes you calm and want to sleep. The majority of new pot smokers don't even know what kind they are smoking thus they are prone to get panic or anxiety attacks off their weed. Some potent sativa strains can really be intense almost like coming up on a psychedelic trip.

you know
nothing has healed my spirit like weed
but there was on period of extreme difficulty I was going through, the one time where I really simply couldn't handle weed, BUT
that was only because it made me extremely aware of things I didn't want to think about
and ultimately that was my own problem, and inability to let go and accept thangs as they are
aside from that its just not good in certain situations such as those that would make you extremely paranoid of police, but again that all comes down to set and setting

Weed honestly doesn't create anxiety or paranoia IME, it just has a tendency to reveal the anxious, paranoid behaviors carried out by the unconscious mind.
In other words: does not make your anxiety and paranoia worse, just makes you notice it more intensely than usual.

Yes. The list of benefits is insane. Obviously not everyone can vape but if you have the option do it. My mind feels so much clearer these days from vaping instead of smoking weed. Smoking weed seems to really put me in a daze. I don't want weed to make me escape reality; I want it to help me embrace it.
Vape kids, its the bees knees.

In Dragons of Eden Carl Sagan wrote about his experience with marijuana. He figured that if THC is quieting our logic and language centers in the brain, then the more intuitive and emotional traits get expressed more easily.
Fear, paranoia, and anxiety are all very strong emotional reactions. I don't think weed causes these emotions, but it does allow them to surface more easily. I mean, who else has smoked way too much bubble hash and then gone to a party where you don't know anyone there? In the wrong state of mind social anxiety goes unchecked and can cripple a person.
But weed isn't the root cause.

someone said earlier pot causes anxiety but helps depression. I agree with this, I'd rather feel a little jittery and nervous rather than having no passion to live, which happens.
maybe a solution is to cut back on how much you smoke... what kind your smoking etc. personally I was high for pretty much all of 2009 and I have a hard time remembering that entire year. that's not healthy and it's pretty sad I can't remember some fucking awesome times that were had. I just have bits and pieces, I'm sure weed contributed to this.

2008 was the same for me. I was high the entire year, and I don't have many clear memories of this time, though I was doing more shit that year than I did most other years of my life. Kinda sucks, but maybe mary knows best, and feels that I don't need those memories. Ah well

OR is this a correlation vs causation issue? It's a well known fact that life-long social anxiety highly correlates with marijuana use. But does this mean that the weed is causing long term anxiety, or is it more likely that people who smoke weed regularly and have a family history of anxiety (like myself)are doing it for some relief?
When I first started smoking I only had anxiety when not smoking, and the weed calmed me down but now my anxiety is bad as it's ever been.
I came to the same conclusion as the OP and quit smoking to reduce my anxiety and it only became worse.... Who knows

For me the only anxiety associated with weed is the fact that it is illegal.

I'm starting to think the weed brings out what you're worried about subconsciously. I was feeling very anxious at the time anyway and couldn't smoke at all or I'd freak out. Now that the stress inducing situation which I was trying not to think about blew over, I'm back to lovin every minute of smokin my green

This is why I love Marijuana. It doesn't allow me to mask my unhappiness. It shoves it in my face until I fix it.
