I mean, yeah... if you have a certain type of anxiety (maybe a little paranoia for example) then cannabis will very often exaggerate that feeling. You can very well get stuck on it. I've told new cannabis users this for quite some time.

Many people who end up in the hospital because of cannabis convince themselves they're dying, but really they're having what's closer to a bad trip. Edibles are especially prone to this because people often are impatient and end up eating too much because they don't think it's working.

Many drugs (including alcohol!) are multipliers. People need to be especially careful if they have preexisting mental illnesses, especially if they've ever experienced psychosis.

A lot of people blame poor behavior on whatever they took, but that's always a little bit of a personality tell because often they're just talking about lowered inhibitions. If that makes you a total asshole, then maybe consider why... because drugs aren't giving you new personality traits.
