Hi,

Anxiety and sensory disturbances are very common aftereffects of cannabis. It must be extremely distressing for you right now but these symptoms will gradually diminish and be gone in a few days. Please do not worry. However, it will be better to stay away from cannabis in future. It is not harmless.

Best wishes.
