Question

Answer 1

Stay of the pot no matter what!!! If you are taking xanax, it is prob a result of smoking all that pot. It kills your brain cells dude, and can disrupt those chemical imbalances, making you more depressed and paranoid, not to mention it is illigal. But yeah, xanax is FOR anxiety, pot won't help you become less anxious, your just high and don't know whats goin on.

Answer 2

I don't know if it's harmful, but It's probably not a good idea to use marijauna if you are having anxiety or paranoia. From past experience I can tell that it can make it even worse. The xanax you're taking is used to treat those disorders, so if it's not helping, you should let your doctor know, your medication may need to be changed or adjusted.

Answer 3

Smoking marijuana is ALWAYS harmful and, if anything, is only more likely to make your paranoia worse. In addition to this, the pot will damage your brain, probably giving you memory problems and increasing your risk of further mental illness by as much as 600%. If the Xanax alone isn't cutting it, PLEASE speak with your doctor. You might want to consider changing the dose or even persuing private or group therapy. There are much better ways to relieve stress than smoking pot.

Answer 4

it is harmful to smoke marijuana whether you are on xanax or not.
my advice = stop smoking pot because it will bring more anxiety and/or paranoia than you already have. it has the possibility to ruin your future and will only bring you down. plus it is expensive and will get you into lots of trouble.

try going to a class for people who are trying to quit smoking marijuana. that way you are around people just like you and you can get through it together. plus there will be people there to help you get over your temptation.

you need to be control over your body. you dont want the marijuana to be in control over you.

Answer 5

Answer 6

OMG!!!!!! Stunning B.S. spoken here. I am flabergasted! I feel these outragous assumptions of High paranoia from smoking weed(marajuana) is like returning to the propaganda of the 1920's. I truly do not believe a single bit of these ridiculous comments.

Answer 8

Wow ! are you trying to kill yourself? I can not beleive someone would have so much anxiety . Do you have a life ? How do you function on a daily basis? Do you do this on a daily basis? Why don't you just see a physc. Doctor? Better yet just grow you some mushrooms!

It's harmful to smoke pot at anytime. It has 146 chemicals in it, most they don't even know what they do to the body and, smoking is bad for you.
Your initiating the lungs to infection and creating a mucus to form, something that in time will be hard to bring up, called emphysema. Then you'll be on oxygen.
People think it's cool to smoke pot, until they become ill, then they start crying.

Answer 10

marijuana is a known depressant, and also known to commonly cause paranoia.....don't bother with taking xanax if you are going to use pot. You are creating your own need for it if that is the case.
