Yes. You are overreacting to a non-issue.

If you had tried your very first glass of wine before new year and felt odd, weird, tipsy or drunk, would it continue to bother you a month later? No? Why not?

Probably you will say, because you are certain that alcohol doesn't have such impacts on the body. You are certain...it is ridiculous to think drinking a glass of wine could result in panic and anxiety a month later. But...marijuana???? Oh...no...marijuana is entirely different, right? It is a drug that can make you go craaaaaazzzzzzy! Right?

No. That is a belief you have based on ignorance of the actual impacts of marijuana. Because you believe marijuana can have such strong effects, you psychologically have self-induced behaviors and reactions that are way out of line with the actual impacts smoking marijuana can have.

This has been researched, where people thinking they were taking drugs or drinking alcohol, start acting how they think those substances should influence their behavior. Without any drugs in their system, their preexisting beliefs of the power of these substances influences how they start behaving.

It is your beliefs, misguided beliefs that are inaccurate, about the potential power of marijuana that has you overreacting. Marijuana is like having a glass of wine, but given your preexisting beliefs about how marijuana is suppose to impact you, 10 minutes later you couldn't control your arms and legs. This is bull...physiologically speaking. Marijuana doesn't have that effect. But, the mind is powerful, and can result in physiological issues based on your inaccurate beliefs about the power of marijuana.
