People do get anxiety on weed.
Yes they do, and people can have bad experiences. That's why i get annoyed when i see people who are not understanding, posting insulting remarks back to people who do.
Cannabis seems to emphasize and expand thoughts, emotions and feelings greatly. If you are feeling cold on cannabis, you will concentrate on being cold, and therefore where the cannabis stimulates and excites the brain, you will feel even more colder! But if you calm down a little and visualise somewhere warm, and imagine it, you will start to feel warmer.
I believe that the anxiety is caused by a neurochemical imbalance in the brain, so it could be a number of different neurochemicals. I think that gamma-Aminobutryic deficiency acid is the biggest culprit of anxiety from cannabis.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GABA GABA can be raised by taking supplements or eating certain foods. L-Theanine, found in green tea for example has got a calming effect, however the caffeine doesnt so perhaps look for the Decaff version.
Of course this is bluelight, and posters will come from other drug use history too. If someone has been abusing MDMA or other serotonin releasing chemicals, a low serotonin level may also be the cause of anxiety.
If you are getting anxiety from cannabis, then the likelyhood is that your brain and body is trying to tell you that something is wrong, and that instead of blaming it on cannabis, look at your diets, your exercise/physical health etc.

How to Increase Your GABA Levels
In general complex carbohydrates are good for increasing GABA. Here is a list of the best food sources for GABA. These foods don’t contain GABA but they contain glutamate or glutamic acid, which forms glutamine in your body and is a precursor to GABA. The list is basically in descending order of how much you get from a typical portion.
Almonds
Whole wheat
Mackerel
Halibut
Whole grain oats
Beef liver
Walnuts
Rice bran
Lentils
Brown rice
Potato
Broccoli
Spinach
Banana
Orange
Supplements
L-Glutamine – This is a fantastic amino acid and is the most abundant in the muscle and blood plasma. It makes up an astounding 61% of your muscle tissue. It’s one of the most studied amino acids and it has numerous benefits, but for our purposes here it will increase your GABA levels. As one of its other benefits it is a potent GH releaser. It’s very cheap and you can take tons of it. I think every body builder in the world takes it. Take 2 to 15 grams per day. I buy it in powdered form.
L-Theanine – This is a very beneficial amino acid and is involved in the production of GABA. Take 100 mg 3 times a day. High grade green tea can contain around 50mg of L-Theanine, where as cheaper lower grades only around 10mg.
Lifestyle
-There is evidence that yoga increases GABA in the brain.
