Is it normal to smoke weed to escape from anxiety

I have a very different type of anxiety, its a type of one where I don't want people to know im anxious because I don't like drama. The way I see it is drama starts from anywhere and no matter how much I wish it wouldn't happen, it happens anyway. I know its a way of life, but does life even have to really be like that? Why cant we all just be happy? instead of anxious? I hate being anxious or angry or distracted. I know this is reality but what if reality was altered differently? A reality where everything makes sense, happiness is everywhere, no disturbances, just humble people. What if life seemed like heaven?? Then there wouldn't be a heaven! No! there is reality at it again! Open your mind and let it be limitless!
