Is it the cannabis that is making me paranoid?

Could be: Everyone has a little bit of a unique and idiosyncratic reaction to the use of cannabis and then there are several types of it so it is possible. There is current research that would suggest that cannabis seems to be an exposure that is often present during the transition of a person into a state of paranoid schizophrenia so it may be something to think about slowing down on it for a while!

May well be.: Possible effects of marijuana: anxiety, depression, fear, panic , delusions, paranoia, hallucinations, losing touch with reality, inattentiveness, short-term memory problems, disturbances of thought processes. Fatigue, poor concentration, slowed reaction times & slowed problem solving. Some people develop a dry mouth, have a rapid heart rate or may feel hungry.

Paranoia: Paranoia is often a side effect of cannabis, yes.
