Hi,

Sometimes after-effects of heavy use of marijuana can persist for days, especially if you are a new user and have not yet developed tolerance to it. Wait for a few more days and consult a doctor if you do not notice any improvement with time. In some people marijuana use can precipitate anxiety disorders and psychosis, so avoid using marijuana again in future as you seem to be vulnerable to such effects of marijuana.

Best wishes.
