So, I've no trouble believing the studies that show such negative health effects of cannabis.

The only drug these people indulge in regularly that I can think of are caffeine and alcohol and I can't remember any of them telling me they were also drunk when it happened, so I don't believe that it's simply something that happens when you "mix".
Since we're sharing completely non-scientific anecdotes, here are some of mine: Of all the dozens of regular pot smokers I've known in my life, exactly zero have experienced any kind of long-lasting anxiety as a result of smoking. I do, on the other hand, have a a relative who is a permanent resident of a mental institution because of extreme brain damage caused by alcohol.

I have literally never experienced paranoia from smoking weed.
