I don't agree with taking marijuana it causes paranoia, Maybe it will ease your anxiety or depression but also think of your health.

It can cause paranoia for some people. I know a lot of people who don't smoke because it makes them paranoid.
For me it only ever made me slightly paranoid and that depended on the strain. Many of the Sativa strains (we always called it sensimilla or sensi but that is not really accurate) just made me super tired after being high for awhile. Like I said earlier we never limited our intake. Dosage is very important.
Smoking any drug is always more intense than ingesting it because it hits your brain so much faster. It takes 2/5 ths of a second for crack to hit your brain when smoked. This is why smoking crack or meth is so much more addictive then snorting. I wouldn't worry about that with pot as far as addiction.
It is unhealthy if you smoke as far as your lungs are concerned for sure. They have vaporizers or you can ingest it to avoid this. Occasional use in small amounts is not gonna do much damage to your lungs though. Very heavy chronic use can have adverse affects on the brain and lower motivation and effect memory.
We are talking about limited use of small quantities for anxiety compared to using benzodiazapines. Do you think benzo's don't have adverse effects?
