Being high on anything all day every day is not going to do anyone any good. Too much of pretty much anything is usually destructive, partake of all things in moderation my friends.

I can relate a bit, I dropped out of high school at 16, worked minimum wage jobs until my 20's... Never went to college. Smoked since I was about 15 and tried about every drug out there. That was back in the 70's. I was in a bad place and wasting my life. If I only knew then what I know now....

Your life is never over until it's over. In your 20's you don't even have a full grasp of what your life can be.

I wised up and started my own business at about 25 after many low pay jobs, a landscaping business. Sure it failed as most businesses do but I learned from it.

Several attempts and a few more low paying jobs and 10 years and I'm pulling in 6 figures from a company I started with 3 partners and negotiating a sale of the business for 20mil. Now i'm still pulling in a 6 figure salary from the company I started when I left that one.

I've reinvented myself several times in my life. I never do any one thing for more than about 5 years before it gets too stale and I start losing motivation and get lazy, then I must go do something different and interesting. Usually risking all I have to go do it, but it keeps me sane and happy and challenges me.

I'm 50 now and about to go reinvent and start over again... I'll be learning a trade that interests me and this time doing it as a one man business.

Anyone can do it, and at a young age it's even easier, but not if you hide by escaping into drug haze and video games.

You ask what would I do? I would get on top of that anxiety, and get control of it. Face that fear and defeat it. Anxiety is fear, a conditioned response that can be retrained, though you may need help to do it.

Find something that interests you, that you can be passionate about, something you can wake up in the morning and can't wait to go do, and get a job related to it. Learn all you can and move on to making your own business doing it. Use pot as a reward after accomplishing something rather than to escape life.

All you need in life is anything you can learn to do that someone will pay you enough money to live on for doing. Better if you enjoy doing it. That's it. After that it's all what you choose to do with your time.

Try to train yourself to not fear anything, or stress over anything, because in truth whatever you fear or stress over is usually no more real than you convince yourself it is, and fear and stress never help any situation, they only make it worse.

If you want to start, try this... Every day do at least one productive thing, apply for a job or clean house, just one thing productive that gives you some sense of accomplishing something. Then do one thing for someone else, something nice for someone that they will appreciate. Just one, every single day, don't toke till you've done it and things will start looking up real fast.
