This is your claim :

I've quoted people's accounts of having negative experiences on the drug who afterwards suffered from anxiety disorder. Other MB members have so far posted at least 3 accounts of themselves or others experiencing anxiety or panic attacks while high. I've quoted and linked to sites and a scientific study that say that cannabis can lead to Cannabis Induced Anxiety Disorder and that people who use cannabis recreationally are at greater risk at suffering from anxiety.

At this point, I don't care what you believe anymore. It's like trying to argue evolution with a creationist. If others here who do experience paranoia while high read my posts or if people who consider themselves nervous are thinking about smoking, then I hope reading my posts make them a little more cautios than they otherwise would.

Sometimes I feel like every regular pot smoker is a propaganda machine for the drug. While there are plenty of good experiences to be had from it, there's also a dark side to it - like there is with any drug. If you mention it in regards to alcohol, people say "yeah, that's true". Do the same with pot and every smoker turns against you.
