Is it normal to have anxiety when smoking marijuana?

I have anxiety and I think a lot when I smoke Marijuana. I smoked for about 4 years until I started getting anxious and depressed. I quit weed and I still have problems but they get even worse when I smoke up. Is it normal?

    Weed can excacerbate problems such as depression so perhaps this is a similar side effect.

    I was fine when i first started smoking, but as time went on i got really paranoid and anxious. I hated it and haven't smoked in years.

    Yea dude happened to me like my 2nd year in smoking. It was all fun and games at first but once it becomes a chore it sucks, all you do is over analyze things in your life that either happened in the past or have yet to happen because its some made up situation in your own head, you put yourself under more unnecessary stress. It sucks... yet i keep smoking.

    Have Sex !!
    Ive been smoking weed for 17 years. It wasnt until about 5 years ago that This same thing started Happening to me. Sometimes because of the anxiety and over-thinking, I had a hard time swallowing and felt somewhat numb. I really believed that I was going to die.  Because of this I dont smoke much any more. However.. I did find that if This happens, I have sex. and just focuse on what Im doing. By the time thats over, so is the anxiety. I think it has to do with Preoccuping your mind so you stop trippin.Try it. Hope it helps !
