^What you're writing is by far most likely the usual case, but pot smoking can trigger lasting anxiety disorder in people who have bad experiences with the drug. I myself know two people whose lives were basically changed by this.

Quote:
A frequent negative side-effect of marijuana consumption is acute anxiety and paranoia. The user may interpret hostile reactions from others, with feelings of persecution common. There have been reported cases of anxiety and panic disorders arising from even one experience with the drug. This reaction has also been reported in research undertaken by the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
The rather short report I'm citing can be found here -> ADAVIC - Anxiety Disorders Association of Victoria (Inc.)
