I been an occasional weed smoker for about two years now. 3 weeks ago I started feeling anxiety while I was sober. I had a few bad trips before , I'd say about 3-4 and I just thought everyone experiences them since it is a DRUG. The one time I took some really potent stuff and I smoked the next morning while I still felt high. It was a really good high then it went downhill, that same week I started vomiting and feeling a high feeling when i was sober. At first i thought it would leave by the day but it lasted a good 8 days before I started feeling better. About 4 days later I took a little hit and it was in a closed area so it was a form of hotboxing so I might've took more than I planned, also I got faded with some drinks that night with some friends. I started having the same anxiety/panicky feeling the next day and I'm still feeling them wondering whats wrong with me. Its feel like forever and the days seem longer since I can only get maybe 1 hour of sleep. It seems worst this time around and I feel the same detachment just with more worry because it happening again so close to the last time. My scheduled appointment with my doctor in in about a week and that seems so far because i don't know how I can keep up this endurance. I noticed a few things help me like music, talking , and even forums like this. Hopefully I start feeling better.
Just stop smoking, there is nothing wrong with you and the anxiety will dissappear!! Just be patient.Try to do stuff to keep your mind from worrying, try to exercise every day.
Weed is not for you as you have experienced now. Read the stories here about withdrawal? Well, look at it this way, in your case you have to go through it every time you have smoked.
take care

Caffeine, Sugar and MSG are also DruGs. I am a smoker. I have several friends that just don't like the effects and side effects and choose not to par-take. That is 0K. Weigh the social unease with the personal discomfort and decide what works for You. The anxiety and/or paranoia will probably Not change as you smoke longer. Just the worry of discomfort/anxiety is a huge 'buzz kill' and will probably worsen as you prove it to yourself. If you must, try much less and 'Pass it'. Yes, hotboxing a car/room with great sh*t is too much for most heavy smokers without side effects. Peace young friend YMMV
I Idea is 'to not feel yourself' as a break. Weed works for a some people to do that. You are probably not one of them. That is 0K! and Respectable!
One must rest in order to have much chance of a great day. Sleep! We need It! Allnight Everynight! The Basics are kinda simple. Rest, Eat Well, Do GooD work! Keep it simply
