Paranoia: Causes?

ok..so why would you continue to smoke weed if it gave you anxiety? why wouldnt you stop and work out your issues, then either resume smoking, or admit that you have an issue with addiction.

First off, I did stop. Secondly I am being treated for anxiety.

Most of all, I wanted information no opinions...

you cant blame a panic attack solely on cannabis.

yes you can. if you just smoked some weed and all of a sudden as it hits you get a panic attack then weed was the trigger. its quite common.

obviously if you get a panic attack without having smoked any weed then weed is not the trigger.

cannabis is well known for causing states of panic and anxiety and a valium is well known for killing paranoia from cannabis, hence a lot of smokers who now find years down the line that they cannot smoke pot enjoy it once more on benzo's.
 
here's a link to a study on prolonged schizophrenia like symptoms in methamphetamine users up to 20 months after cessation of use. I think it should have some info for the OP.

Cannbinoids can cause transient psychosis, and this seems to be due to several factors, first & foremost the individuals propensity for anxiety; the THC to CBD ratio also seems to play a large role; and we can't forget good ol' set & setting ;) I guess its only difficult, not impossible, to blame a panic attack solely on cannabis.
 
My anxiety from cannabis was developed. I was a heavy smoker. I would smoke a whole ounce by myself every two days. Joints were like cigarettes to me. I'd fire up one every time shit needed to be done....

...As time went on, I started noticing I became more and more paranoid. That beautiful wavy vibration turned into full body dysphoria.

I couldn't believe that my favorite drug of all time lost it's magic after those years.

I gave it a break to see if it would quell....

In the next 12 months I finally roll up a joint. Nearly the same potency...

I smoked no more than half of the joint... ANXIETY ATTACK!!!!!!!

I truly felt like I was dying from a heart attack. I simply could not breathe for shit. I lost complete touch with reality. My blood pressure went into the stroking/severe heart attack range...(at it's worse 200/160)

Needless to say I was given a whopping dose of Lorazepam then Phenobarbital.

I could literally feel every bit of negativity flow out of my body.

I was like WTF?....
