I think weed is a gamble if you have history of getting anxious on weed. All my friends use weed for relaxing, but even the tiniest amount always makes me very anxious. I still like weed, but only when I'm cozying up, watching TV and feel very safe (here, I still feel the "anxiety" but usually of the form "excitement"). I would not smoke any amount of weed on a psychedelic.

This is great advice, weed can exacerbate anxiety or paranoia. Thanks for sharing!

I’m a habitual use and I don’t experience those affects any longer, but plenty of people do and it could make a trip worse.

Unfortunately, I used to not have this problem then one time had a "bad trip" while high out of my mind on weed. After that night, weed has been an entirely different experience. For about 2 years I couldn't/didn't smoke weed because even tiny tiny tiny amount triggered a full blown panic attack. After about 2/3 years I was able to smoke a little with friends and enjoy music, vibe etc. Nowadays I smoke weed very rarely as I like the physically-relaxing effects on a lazy sunday watching TV. But it still makes my brain go berserk! Sometimes it's fun as I start overanalyzing stupid shows like It's Always Sunny or The Office, but if I feel a little vulnerable it doesn't end up well. :( What I learned though, is when I start panicking on weed, taking a short walk is immensely helpful as the effects only last 30 mins to an hour so if you just keep walking around neighborhood you feel fine.
