A member asked:
Does anxiety from marijuana ever go away ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While most users find marijuana to be calming, some have the opposite reaction of feeling anxiety after using it. Those effects generally only last a few hours (but it can feel much longer), though it make take several days for all traces of marijuana to leave your system. If you're still anxious a long time after use then it may be a form of ptsd. Emdr & other techniques may help. See comment:.
