The way the drug affects each person depends on many factors, including: your previous experience with the drug, how strong the marijuana is (how much THC it has), what you expect to happen, where the drug is used, how it is taken, and whether you are drinking alcohol or using other drugs.

It seems to me, your symptoms are just short-term effects. The norm.

"Some users can suffer bad reactions from abusing marijuana. They may experience sudden feelings of anxiety and have paranoid thoughts. This is more likely to happen when a more potent variety of marijuana is used."

So don't worry - they will go away. Marijuana often stays in the system just as long as caffeine does. Especially if it is a very strong dose. In the meantime, drink plenty of fluids. Water, mainly, to flush out the toxins. And get plenty of rest. :)
