Paranoia and panic can occur because of the THC which is a hallucinogenic in marijuana. You are having a miserable experience & suffering from these thoughts. Please consult with a Psychiatrist for diagnosis and treatment to help you understand what is troubling & disrupting your life & to calm down; & a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy.
