Does anyone have anxiety brought on by drug use?

[1irishninja]

I never had any issues with anxiety growing up, In my late teens I started dabbling with cannabis, I'd tried it a few times and had no issues, then one time I tried this stronger variety. I had my first panic attack and thats how it all began, been tortured since, I'm 35 now although my anxiety is under control to an extent I would say I am 70% anxiety free, it still appears now and again.

Anyone else similar?

Maybe not on NMP but it is proven that cannabis taken regularly in ones youth can lead directly to various mental health issues.
When anyone is referred to a psychiatrist one of the first questions asked is, if one has ever taken cannabis or other similar substances.
