That goes for being high or sober, but yes, being high can make you more susceptible to it depending on your personality and mental state. But like I said, it's ultimately in your own hands.
Agreed.

As stated in my last post, the claim from you that I've arguing against is your claim that being high does not increase the probability of experiencing anxiety. I don't disagree that a simple activity like going fishing for some may be trivial while horrifying for others.

That's good for you and I hope it stays that way.
