Very likely: Thc, the active ingredient in marihuana isa powerful psychoactive drug whose concentrations in plants grown under modern conditions in vastly greater than a generation ago. It is particularly disruptive and dangerous for those with sone predispositions. The anxiety reaction you describe is a warning sign. Please do seek out assistance from a counselor.
