i also have a committed relationship with anxiety and have had some anxious times with weed. i've definitely noticed my experience and usage was different than most of my friends, regardless of strain/cultivar. i know a lot of people that say it makes them want to be lazy all day, and that is not my situation at all. if i am on my own, i will tidy up my entire house and/or organize a workspace at a nice steady and thoughtful pace. there's some kind of nexus where weed, anxiety, and energy all come together and let me spend hours on something productive but typically mundane. i literally used to wake and bake every sunday and deep clean my entire house with music on, and it was probably my favorite day of the week due to this.

i will partake in a group setting if i feel comfortable and have calm/chill friends around, but it wasn't really the "party" drug for me the way it can be with others. as an older person, i smoke less often and tend to "use" it to get things done in a more enjoyable way.

i have a friend that likes to get blazed for pretty much everything, including work, meeting new people at bars, sit down dinners with his parents [who do not like nor approve of his heavy use]. i can't even count how many times i have been invited to roast a jay with this clown expecting to be just sitting around shooting the breeze afterward, when suddenly we're going running to some big family dinner and i have to summon my preternatural ability to appear, converse, and behave normally with older people looking to catch up with me.

i do not get the appeal, but he seems to really love being secretly stoned as shit around a group of people who aren't. seems like a waste of a good time to me, but people are different.
