Agreed.

I used to smoke weed every day for years but had to stop around the age of 24 due to ever-increasing paranoia and anxiety. It was really messing with my head and negatively affecting my life.

I can smoke fine these days but there is always that slight sense of anxiety and negative introspection when I do. It's not a pleasant feeling at all, so I I generally avoid weed these days.

Strange really as I do LSD and MDMA maybe once or twice a year for special occasions and have no problems.

That said I am definitely pro-legalisation. I just think people need to be educated about it. Legalisation proponents with genuinely good arguments can often find themselves drowned out by by those that refuse to acknowledge any potential downsides to their favourite recreactional drug, which is a shame.
