Strange Experience with Cannabis

I had a bad experience with some cubensis about a year ago, after ingesting what I would personally consider a moderate-to-high dose (4 grams) for myself... I had terrible anxiety during the entirety of the trip. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, when I smoked some pot for the first time in a long while, and I experienced the same anxiety as I did with my shroom trip. I have never experienced anxiety before when smoking pot, and I used to smoke it a lot.
Has anyone else had a similar experience after experiencing a bad trip? Is this something that should be cause for concern? I hope it is not some underlying medical issue, as I do not have any history of anxiety, 'cause I would hate to think this will be a reoccurring issue whenever I smoke. Any thoughts or suggestions?
~Thanks

Ive had some mild anxiety from weed before.
I would suggest lower weed dosages. And also try different strains as well. How did u smoke the weed?

I actually thought of that. Maybe it's not the experience I had with the shrooms, but, rather, just the fact I have not smoked in a long time.

I smoked it through an 18" bong.
Edit: But I took two small rips only.

Super common, lots of people have cannabis "turn" on them so to speak, there've been many threads about it here before, and Ive even seen youtube videos about it as well as have friends who have experienced it too. Often it's right around the time they start using psychedelics or other drugs
Happened to me, unless I smoke a really small amount it's like a half hour panic attack before I can function. Weirdly that panic is therapeutic for me though, although when I push to far it honestly feels like psychosis is not far away

My first experience with dabs I got way too high and literally experienced the worst anxiety of my life, it felt like I was tripping, but way worse. The body load was unbearable in addition to some of the worst anxiety I have ever felt, ever. I eventually decided it was too much to try and fight and passed out on the floor(tbf, I was already sitting on a floor cushion..so it was a short trip) before I got moved to the couch where I remained until 4am when I eventually got up to go puke my guts out in the bathroom.
It was a bad time. And it's not the first time I've greened out and threw up after smoking too much(only twice over several years), but the first time was preceded by a lot of laughter and rolling around on the floor instead of a 6 hour coma lol. Sometimes crazy stuff like that just happens if you're a lightweight and you overdo it. If it starts happening regularly then I'd be concerned. Otherwise, nah.

That's the part that sucks for me, too. The anxiety was so strong, I literally felt like I was on the verge of a psychotic break. It's a terrible feeling, man.

Thanks for sharing, man. It seems to me, after reading your response and those of others, that this is quite normal for people to experience from time to time. I will use caution going forward and take small hits, maybe with a higher CBD content strain, and see where it goes from there. This has me freaking out, I am not gonna lie. 😂
Thanks again!

Cannabis does trigger underlying psychosis, but panic attacks and severe anxiety can also bring those feelings on temporarily. It's entirely possible you just had too low a tolerance and got too high. Or you may be one of us unlucky ones who loses the recreational fun of the herb for whatever reason
For me I think psychedelics just made me far more sensitive to my perceptions, and cannabis brings that back intensely each time I smoke... too much to think about, things are too weird, can't just relax. Idk, it's a weird thing

I think I am just going to take it easy going forward and see where it progresses from there. The strain I smoked was somewhere around 25% Thc and had virtually no CBD. Even though I took small rips, it may have just been so long since I last smoked and I wasn't able to handle it. Then again, I might be like you where I am now more sensitive to it because of my experiences with psychedelics -- I hope not. 😥😅
