Can Marijuana Calm Nerves Down?

Hi, when i was younger i used to get nervous like to go to school and stuff; so nervous that i would puke. I started smoking marijuana and i became more mature and i didnt get nervous anymore and i stopped smoking about 7 months ago and i realized that i get nervous for every little thing now, its ridiculous. I was wondering if smoking weed would calm down my nerves?

hii dear

it is due to its stimulating effect on your brain

marijuana contains tetrahydrocanabiol which is psycho stimulating substance and due to this you feel relax and calm down for a while

you have anxiety problem and marijuana control your stress level dueo its effect on VTA which give pleasure rewards

but it has tolerance and effect is gradually decreasing

at long term it produce opposite effect
