I've had anxiety problems for the last 3 years but the first few times I smoked weed it completely got rid of my anxiety and made me feel relaxed and social. After trying it many more times I became a daily smoker and smoked it everyday for 2 years. Weed was my best way to beat anxiety and depression but then something strange happened, one day I was smoking with close friends and started noticing that my head and legs were shaking but no one said anything so I just assumed that it wasn't noticeable.
Every now and then when I smoked the exact same thing would happen but I enjoyed the high so much and no one ever said anything so I just ignored it. I read online that shaking and twitching when stoned are normal when smoking certain types of strains so I never thought it was a bad thing. This started happening more frequently and after another few months of daily smoking whenever I would have even the smallest bit of weed I would start to feel really uncomfortable and antisocial for no reason.
I started smoking weed less and now everytime I smoke I feel really anxious and sick. I used to be able to handle weed really well and I could smoke a lot and feel completely fine. But now even after 2 or 3 hits I feel really uncomfortable, tense and paranoid, sometimes I feel like vomiting after a couple of hits. My mind starts thinking about really negative and uncomfortable thoughts, I can't seem to focus and my friends say I act a lot quieter and different when I smoke weed now. The weird thing is, I feel terrible when I smoke with others but when i'm alone I feel good. It's really annoying because a lot of my good friends are heavy smokers and i'm sick of turning them down whenever they want to smoke just because of what i'm experiencing.
So what i'm wondering is why is this happening? Why did the effects of weed change from being relaxed and social to feeling really paranoid and antisocial?
