Cannabis use linked to anxiety diagnoses, worsened anxiety disorders

&gt; The study looked at health data of 12 million people between January 2008 and March 2019 and found that 27.5 per cent of people who visited an emergency room for cannabis use developed an anxiety disorder for the first time within three years.<p>Others are way better at judging a study&#x27;s methodology but this immediately caught <i>my</i> eye. Shouldn&#x27;t we also look at cannabis users who didn&#x27;t visit an ER? And what else was in those people&#x27;s blood at the time? THC vs CBD?<p>Obviously no link to the actual study so it&#x27;s hard to judge really.

I smoked all throughout my teens and twenties. Once I hit my 30s, smoking would give me insane anxiety and, occasionally, full blown panic attacks. Obviously, this is very anecdotal and may have to do with other factors in my life (increased responsibilities to worry about as you get older, kids, etc.).<p>It got to the point where I asked myself why I was even doing it if it was no longer fun or relaxing in any way.<p>People who love cannabis think it&#x27;s the cure for everything. While I don&#x27;t doubt its medicinal uses, it&#x27;s definitely not for everyone.

I guess I am somewhat different than many of the commenters in this thread.<p>Cannabis has caused anxiety in me before, but I had anxiety problems prior fwiw. In a weird way, I kind of used the anxiety from Cannabis as &quot;training.&quot;<p>What I mean, is that when I would get anxious from cannabis, I would try and talk myself down, remind myself that nothing bad was going to happen, and then kind of intentionally try to refrain my thoughts in order to force myself to enjoy the experience.<p>I learned that the more I did this, the better I was at being able to do this in other situations where I would be inappropriately anxious about something (even without Cannabis).<p>It&#x27;s not perfect, but has seemed to work better than anything else I have tried. So, my point is that I learned the only way I can apparently beat anxiety is to charge it head on.

Cannabis use seemed to &quot;unlock&quot; a type of anxiety that I had never experienced before, and after using it, I could never &quot;forget&quot; this feeling. Absolute hell that now recurs.<p>It seems absolutely insane to me that our pop culture pushes this stuff as at worse benign, but usually beneficial.

Outside of this study, if you&#x27;re a constant smoker and you suffer from morning nausea, please see cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome<p>I suffered from intense bouts of nausea often lasting days (and my last time a whole week), I learned of CHS and stopped my use immediately, finally stopped the pain<p>The pain and nausea was so bad, it was honestly the worst i&#x27;ve ever felt

Yeah this pretty obvious to anyone with an anxiety disorder who tries pot as a solution. It gets recommended by users, who think it’s a cure because their anxiety is due to THc withdrawals. But if you aren’t a user and try it it explodes your anxiety and is just the worst.

While I don&#x27;t doubt that there could be a link, it seems ridiculous that they don&#x27;t (at least as far as we can tell from this article) do anything to tell if this is causation one-way or the other. Not hard to imagine that people who are starting to suffer from chronic anxiety may try self-medication before they try the emergency room.<p>Again, not saying there&#x27;s no causation the way they imply, but basic experimental principles should tell you to try to control for this somehow, for example by looking at overall anxiety rates before and after it becomes commonly available in a given community, or comparing similar sized communities in different areas with different availability.

I&#x27;ll chime in because I&#x27;ve been using cannabis for over 50 years. First off, I&#x27;ve never suffered with anxiety. if anything, THC has been a great help in relieving that for me.<p>I also say that over those years there have been long spells of time when I couldn&#x27;t get any weed, and again, never had issues with that either. No &quot;withdrawal&quot; issues or anxiety issues at all.<p>The only weed induced anxiety I&#x27;ve ever experienced was caused by knowing I could get arrested for possession, but that&#x27;s never happened, and where I live now it&#x27;s legal, so I don&#x27;t have to worry about that anymore.<p>Personally, I think that the social stigma associated with &quot;refer madness&quot; may be related to weed induce anxiety.<p>But there are studies that indicate THC does affect people differently and that genetics may have something to do with that. For example, those who suffer with psychoses may have issues with weed triggering psychotic episodes, but I recently read that CBD may reduce those events.<p>I think it would be interesting to hear from those dealing with anxiety if CBD relieves that.

It&#x27;s a psychoactive substances, none of this is the least bit surprising. It helps some people with anxiety and it worsens it for others.

IMO what really matters is the THC concentration. I&#x27;ve suffered from generalized anxiety since early childhood, and the one time I tried typical, high-THC content recreational cannabis things didn&#x27;t go well. I got a full-blown panic attack, and maybe even psychotic symptoms for a while, afterwards I wasn&#x27;t sure whether I imagined some things or not. Later when I tried a CBD product I didn&#x27;t have any problems, just a slight calming effect comparable to having a couple of beers.<p>Since then I&#x27;ve also found out that I probably have increased genetic likelihood of developing schizophrenia. I&#x27;ll never touch anything with significant THC concentration again, just way too risky.

You know, I&#x27;ve only ever had one bad experience with cannabis, and it was only bad for like 30 minutes or so (though it felt much, much longer). I made edibles, and I&#x27;d never made them before but I followed online instructions very precisely and ended up, by accident, creating extra-potent brownies.<p>Now, I knew before taking them how potent they were, I was licked the mixing spoon the night before, just a tiny bit here and there, and even that little bit was enough to make me relatively high. But when my friends saw how tiny the doses were, they thought I was being crazy and we all ended up getting each other to take waaaay to many, especially me, the <i>host</i>, which was an especially bad idea because within an hour I&#x27;d gone into my room, gotten into bed, and put on some youtube video to calm me down. Well, not very long after getting into bed I had this feeling of immense warmth and comfort, and I got super blissed out and my friends would come in to check up on me and I just gave them a thumbs up with a massive grin on my face. At some point one of my friends joined me in my room, and then sometime later I rejoined the party, which was getting along fine without me, and then we dispersed after we started to sober up.<p>So, all in all, it was a good experience. But I got super fucking high and I was literally starting to lose touch with reality before I sequestered myself, and my heart was beating out of my chest so hard I thought I was actually going to have a heart attack and die. I think it was easier for me to handle since I&#x27;ve had experience with fairly high doses of psychedelics in the past. I suppose alls well that ends well.

The older you get the more responsibilities and also regrets you have. With more responsibilities and the feeling of not being able to manage them you feel as soon as the THC goes away, it is hard not to get anxious as you age, and it also adds more regrets which directly add to the anxiety and feeling of self-defeat and lack self-control. At least that was in my experience and the reason why I dropped it completely soon after turning 30.

Cannabis is not a dissociative drug. I think pop culture has instilled a false belief it has a calming or chill effect, but it&#x27;s the opposite.

Anxiety is an evolutionary mechanism to alert the individual that something is wrong and must be dealt with. That should tell you most of you need to know about whether the it is good for you or not. If you have intolerable pain or no appetite and it solves those issues, then maybe that is worth it. In most cases and for most people, it&#x27;s likely not worth it.<p>Cannabis lowers blood pressure and can cause tachycardia and has a statistically significant association with the development of heart failure in some users. In my own personal life, I had an episode of moderate autonomic dysfunction after taking it several times with seemingly no issue. While in the hospital the attending ER doctor told me I should probably stay away from it. That was the last time I had it. He was lighthearted and put a joke diagnosis of toxic encephalopathy on the discharge notes.

I&#x27;m kind of opposite of some of these postings. I got diagnosed with anxiety a bit over 3 years ago. I crashed and burned, hard.<p>I&#x27;ve been going through various prescription changes, and I&#x27;m usually ok, but I&#x27;ve had some really bad days over the past few months. So, after doing a lot of reading, trying to sift out the anecdata, I started an experiment where I added to my pill set, a 10 mg gummies of CBD each morning for the past month or so, and it&#x27;s been a very pleasant experience.<p>I don&#x27;t get stoned. I don&#x27;t dread work. I&#x27;m generally productive with my code, and I&#x27;m not feeling overwhelmed.<p>It&#x27;s not perfect, and I still have a bad day here and there, such as this weekend, but it&#x27;s manageable now. I&#x27;ve actually been feeling somewhat normal, and it&#x27;s good.

I had my first experience with cannabis when I was a teenager (14 or so) (it was the Netherlands; everyone I knew smoked it); it was a piece of spacecake. After the first laughs it turned into anxiety and paranoia fast. It was horrible. I did it 2 times more with the same effect. Never again. I always say that if you want to torture me to get info (not that I have any but say I was a senator or whatever), just give me spacecake and put on some flashing lights and start shouting at me; I’ll give you whatever you want to make it stop and have Xanax.

Just my personal anecdote: I’ve had moderate anxiety since I was a kid. When I was around 16, I tried weed for the first time and it made my anxiety far worse (in fact I had a pretty bad panic attack). Being a stupid teen susceptible to peer pressure, I tried it a few more times in my late teens and early twenties and had an extremely bad experience each time. Pretty much the same thing happened to my son, but worse. He actually used it to try to reduce his anxiety, and it did work at first, but eventually it made him worse and he had to go on anxiolytics.

I&#x27;ve been on and off this train. I smoked in high school, not at all in college, again in my twenties, not at all in my thirties, started again recently. I definitely have anxiety but I would not say the pot has triggered panic attacks or otherwise brought on or amplified the anxiety. That said, while the pot has a nice numbing effect for a couple hours, it certainly has not made my anxiety <i>better</i> and I definitely sleep much better when I haven&#x27;t consumed any THC. Same goes for alcohol.

I get a strain at the dispensary that&#x27;s 1:1 THC:CBD. It&#x27;s a lot better for me than the high THC stuff; I can&#x27;t handle those.

What kind of cannabis are people trying to treat their anxiety with? If it&#x27;s high-THC dispensary strains and oil cartridges, no wonder; such products have hardly any medicinal value.

Cannabis is like anything. It&#x27;s not for everyone. Some people experience anxiety from drinking coffee. Everyone&#x27;s physiology is different.

I mean, yeah... if you have a certain type of anxiety (maybe a little paranoia for example) then cannabis will very often <i>exaggerate</i> that feeling. You can very well get stuck on it. I&#x27;ve told new cannabis users this for quite some time.<p>Many people who end up in the hospital because of cannabis convince themselves they&#x27;re dying, but really they&#x27;re having what&#x27;s closer to a bad trip. Edibles are especially prone to this because people often are impatient and end up eating too much because they don&#x27;t think it&#x27;s working.<p>Many drugs (including alcohol!) are multipliers. People need to be especially careful if they have preexisting mental illnesses, especially if they&#x27;ve ever experienced psychosis.<p>A lot of people blame poor behavior on whatever they took, but that&#x27;s always a little bit of a personality tell because often they&#x27;re just talking about lowered inhibitions. If that makes you a total asshole, then maybe consider why... because drugs aren&#x27;t giving you new personality traits.

Is this the typical case of correlation vs causation?<p>From personal experience, using cannabis when you’re not anxious is a pretty un pleasant experience. It causes a slight euphoria followed by severe tiredness, and nausea.<p>Everyone I know who used cannabis past their thirties does it out of self medication for anxiety&#x2F;sleep problems.
