I've done the same but for ~8 years thinking it helps me to deal with my PTSD. unfortunately while _calming_ it actually increased my paranoia, anxiety and stress.

I feel stupid to realize this after so much time, but quitting completely and focusing on a more healthy diet and exercise did the trick for me. it took some time but eventually I am weed free and feeling normal again.

it was a really strange feeling to realize how bad it is for me personally.

currently I puff on some occasions, with friends, but never at home without a reason, no paranoia, no stress and no _out of nowhere_ anxiety.
