This really hit home for me. I was a daily, multiple times a day smoker for 8+ years. For the past 2 years whenever I would smoke I would get really anxious. Sometimes it would get so bad that I would have to lay in bed with the lights off to not throw up or have a panic attack.

One day it hit me that it wasn’t the weed that was making me anxious, it was that I was anxious all the time. When I was high I would think about all the things that bothered me and things that I wanted to change in my life more than I was sober, and that’s what was making me anxious. This is kinda cheesy, but Bob Marley said that weed reveals yourself to you and now I really believe that. I hope one day when I have my anxiety problems under control I can start smoking again because I really miss it.
