Cannabis gives me extreme anxiety. Anyone else?

Anything can give you anxiety, and anxiety is a psychological symptom, anything you get scared of, that might've given you a bad experience in the past... And also the high potency of weed nowadays.
I have also heard that sometimes you are just not in the correct state of mind to be consuming weed you know.

A friend once tried weed for anxiety and said it made everything feel amplified—in his case, not in a good way either. He found that just having a small ritual, like rolling his own with accessories from www.smokeday.com, gave him a bit of control, even if the effects weren’t always pleasant. Sometimes it’s about finding what works for your own mind, even if that means avoiding it or microdosing like you said.

I enjoy a good Indica strain but you have to do something instead of sitting around and wait for the "high" to do it's thing.
I would do reruns of Trailer Park Boys on a weekend after backyard work. Or Hangover marathon. Any comedy + weed is good. at least for me.

I am the same way. Its an awful experience. Someone said antidepressants can do that to people.
I used to smoke it in my teens and it was great! As an adult it causes debilitating anxiety.
would take a really low dose of thc and cbd oil and it would help me relax. There were no instructions though. I either took too little or too much but when I got it right I could finally relax. It would quiet my mind and I could focus on one thing at a time. It was great.
I have a really low tolerance for everything though.
If you're really interested in trying it, I would start with a low dose of something where you can really control how much you take. I like the oils/tinctures because you can measure them.
I would get mine from the rez. I liked the Mukwa brand.

My thoughts are cannabis opens your conscious up to your sub coinscious
where anxieties are hidden.
More studies need to be done, oddly it is now used to reduce anxiety.
Cannabis stores give no warning about effects which is wrong
I recently attempted to try cbd flower but sadly 95% of what you will find is stale because no one buys it which makes it not very enjoyable from a consumption perspective. Because it was so dried out and void of terps it gave me a sore throat that lasted a few days. I hope you can find something fresher than what I found.
Smoking weed makes my heart race like a jack rabbit. That combined with the anxiety that comes, makes the experience not for the weak haha. So why do it? Well every now and then, once every few months, I will smoke a joint. It makes me see the world, and my life from a different perspective. It can actually be very helpful. When high, things that I didn't notice before suddenly stick out like a sore thumb. I try to use these experiences as motivation to make changes. It's also fun to watch a hockey game or a good movie high every now and then. But my days of getting high and going out to a social event are long in my past.
It took quite a while before most companies started including the humidity pack and even now not all companies use them which is kinda ridiculous. It goes a long way in helping to preserve the terps.
I’ve only dabbled with low dose (edible) cannabis. I enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling of happiness, as well as how it enhances pleasures such as food, laughter and sex. Tho I did discover (ironically just after I saw @Vittoria. for the first time, who posted earlier in the thread that it makes her anxious etc) that if I’m under a bit of time pressure, it brought out a kind of anxiety in me id rarely experienced and I nearly had a panic attack. I learned then to save it for safe, relaxing situations and environments. Also made me a bit wary of using higher doses.
