Can cannabis cause GAD? Aggravate it? Help it?

Couldn't find any "real" research on it... so what do you all say?

i have OCD which is an anxiety disorder. i find when i smoke im fine if i have the time to sober up. But if i say smoke on a week night and need to go to bed when im still stoned i get anxiety attacks and end up getting a shitty nights sleep. I'd say its situational just like if you hadn't have anxiety. If i go to a party sober i get nervous and dont talk to anyone, if i go stoned, i have a blast.

If you wanna know more let me know

That's literally the only time I get weird anxiety attacks from weed too.
Really weird that that's the only time I get them... I sleep fine,
but before I fall asleep I get all panicky, and start freaking out about
the nature of reality, and things I just don't need to be worrying about.

I have GAD. I have social anxiety too. Not really OCD. Took some strong meds for it. Anyways, indicas help me a lot. They relieve all my anxiety.Sativa's tend to agrevate my anxiety and make me shake more than normal. It also gives me panic attacks sometimes.
