A friend of mine who to our knowledge does not have any mental illness becomes extremely anxious from weed and can't use it at all. Personally I felt that way in the beginning but most of my anxiety came from being worried about getting arrested for ksmoking so I never do it in public to this day.
I have anxiety and am a recovering alcoholic. Dunno if that's got anything to do with my problem with MJ, years ago I smoked it all the time and never had an issue. Then again, the strains they grow nowadays are much stronger than those we used back in the day.
