I think one of the most interesting things about weed is that it makes some people more relaxed and some people more anxious. It's bizarre that the same drug could have totally opposite reactions. I wonder if the anxiety comes from the illegality and/or the social stigmas it still has.

It can cause both of those response in the same person. Even within the same session

In my experiences, weed simply enhances whatever you are already feeling. This seems to hold true for psychological states as well as sensory input.
If you're already anxious, you'll become more anxious. If you're relaxed, you'll become more relaxed. If you're drunk, you'll be more drunk. Food is tastier. Music is more musical.
It just makes everything more. As a once in a while thing, I find this enhancement useful.
most people who aren't regular users have only ever tried one or two strains, while others of us have tried _hundreds_. some strains are more likely to cause anxiety or paranoia in people susceptible to that.
