I am not a doctor but know a thing or two, hope it helps you..
Your in an anxiety cycle right now. It was triggered by the cannabis. You could say that you feel anxious about being or becoming anxious, which triggers processes in you body and mind that make you feel stressed. These thoughts and feelings make you feel more anxious and inforce the processes.
When you feel anxiety rise, first acknowledge it. "Hey, I am feeling anxious. There is a process going on in my mind that makes me feel this way.". Then try to accept it. "I don't fight my anxiety, by doing so I will not reinforce this anxiety. It is benign and will fade away". Then you'll need to surf it and allow time to let it pass.
Things that you can do is try to focus on other things, in order to not focus on the anxiety or its symptoms like shallow breathing, trembling, weird sensations etc.. Anxiety thrives on giving it attention, it will die down when it doesn't get it although it won't prevent anxiety to visit some time again to see if you will give it attention this time. Treat it the same way and the frequency and severity will decrease in time.
One exercise you could do a couple of times a day is to sit down, either close your eyes or look at something calming, and start slowly repeating aloud or in silence to yourself: "I am calm, relaxed, patient and confident". Do this for a couple of minutes at a time. If thoughts of anxiety pass by, acknowledge them for what they are and let them drift away. Don't fight them, just acknowledge them being there and don't get sucked into worrying. You could alternate this with taking a couple of deep breaths with your belly before repeating the words again.
When you wake up in anxiety, make sure you really wake up. Don't lie in your bed worrying. Go get a glass of water, watch some tv or something before going to bed again. You might use the exercises above too.
If you feel you can't cope despite doing this, I suggest you visit a doctor to talk about this.
Take care!
