My friend, it seems like your anxiety is nicotine withdrawal. That explains why smoking makes your anxiety go away; you're getting another hit of nicotine to ease off the withdrawal.
Vaping isn't harmless. Especially since you're 18, it will inhibit your brain development and the chemicals in the vape are chronically toxic. Nicotine is extremely addictive. Many people get addicted after just a few goes.
Seems like you're already figured this out, but that doesn't really mean anything. People start drinking alcohol (a depressant) because they're depressed.
Signed, a previously anxious pothead.
Oh hey I've gone through all three. Alcohol sucks. Weed kinda sucks too unless you smoke a lot all day. Small edible doses are where it's at for casual occasional use.
Even Terrence McKenna said weed should only be smoked once a week.
I also remember reading when I was younger that if you're eyes get RED then your abusing it.
What if your eyes don't turn red anymore? That's a thing. I can be high as balls and nobody would know until I open my stupid stoner mouth.
Yeah that happens too.
