I think pot makes us less anxious while we are using it but as it wears off--it gives you a boomerang effect as in you are more anxious right after using it. This is why you feel worse after taking a nap--the pot has worn off. If your doctor has given you any antianxiety medications like gabapentin or xanax--it is a good idea to take them while using so they are in your system when the pot wears off.

I know it is not legal in your state which is too bad because if it was legal you might be able to pick pot that was very low in THC. If you wrote this posts under the influence of pot--much of your thinking is being effected by the pot. If you stop using it--you will feel much differently in a few days.....
