That anxiety already exists inside of you. Weed just makes you aware of it. The more you fight that anxiety, the more you resist it, the stronger it gets.
I used to hate smoking with other people because I’d have crazy anxiety and it just wouldn’t be fun. I could smoke just fine alone. No anxiety at all.
Cleary the weed wasn’t the cause of my anxiety or else I’d get anxiety even if I smoked alone. It was a social anxiety issue. Social anxiety was something I had even when not high. It already existed within me. The weed just made me super duper aware of it when I was high in a social situation. It magnified the anxiety almost.
But it did not create the anxiety. My life experiences create that anxiety. I created it. The weed made me aware of.
I didn’t stop smoking. I smoked thru the anxiety. The weed actually helped me to deal with my anxiety issues, instead of just numbing myself to the symptoms with prescription pills.
I smoke all day long everyday now. I smoke all day long and go out in public and talk to people and I’m totally fine.
If you smoke weed and it gives you terrible anxiety, stopping isn’t a bad idea at all. But blaming the weed as the source of your anxiety will prevent you from overcoming it and growing as a person. The anxiety is already in you and has been created by all of your life experiences up until this point.
Go work on yourself.
