Eli5: Why does weed make many adults feel paranoid, overwhelmed, etc. while it acts like an escape or stress relief for others?

Why is it so polarizing?

Even people who used to smoke a lot just can t anymore, myself included: I used to exclusively smoke until my early 20s; Now even a couple tokes make me either feel self conscious or totally overwhelmed and „braindead“.

Others have the exact opposite effect, where it makes them super relaxed or even forget all their worries to a point that they need to stop to confront their problems.

From personal experience: if there is something to worry about, anxiety is high. If there is nothing to worry about, then it’s just comfy

Sometimes I’ll have an exam, and after studying for the exam a bit I’ll get a bit high, and then once I’m high I just decided to keep studying cause the anxiousness is killing me

But once I keep studying, the anxiety goes away, because I know I’m over doing it and don’t have to worry. Then it comes back when I stop

Moral of the story, smoke weed to improve your grades!
