Smoking weed for me, at least in my early years (16-18, I'm 29 now) yielded a ton of anxiety. At the time I didn't know, but I would get full-blown anxiety attacks when I'd smoke weed.

I've since heard that it depends on the strain, sativa vs indica. Indica == 'in da couch'; anxiety attacks. Sativa is supposed to be a more mellow high.

While I don't smoke often now, I do on occasion. I've found that I tend to get anxiety in the beginning, but I've learned to sort of brush it off/ignore it and enjoy my trip.

Food for thought.
