I had my own experience with it, it hooked me in and helped me with my social anxiety. But after a while, I didn't need it anymore and still used it for a few years. The thing is, it makes your body feel anxious which sooner or later spreads to your mind, causing paranoia. There is this constant nagging anxiety that your mind feels and starts thinking that it owns this feeling, and you slip into this state of constant fear. Every single though you have gets twisted by this fear and that's why you start having really weird thoughts even about healthy stuff. If you stop after years of usage, it will take a few months to get better, but the good news is, it isn't as addictive as smoking or alcohol, so it won't be too hard. If you stop, you should feel better within a few months.
By the way, this method where the body gets sick and gradually infects the mind is in general how all drugs work, in my opinion. I really liked living like there was no tomorrow too, so it felt bad to realize this, especially when I realized how much work it will involve to stop using them, but hey, it will be way better afterwards.
Yeah, my post that got deleted or not approved on the subject on another thread went into more detail, but not as much as you have here. What you said here is not wrong, and I can confirm the truth of it with my own experiences. I'm feeling the anxiety and paranoia and dependence cause by long term use, and now realize it's time to give it up, though it's not particularly easy. Like I said before, I think that using weed a couple times to get a different perspective can be a positive thing, but habitual use/dependence on it negates any positive influence and ultimately just leads to the situation you described and I find myself in.
