because I've tried it a few times and it just cranked anxiety in me. That said, pot doesn't cause hallucinations, and the natural suspect would be psilocybin mushrooms, not marijuana. Somebody isn't telling the truth here.

Be against smoking pot yourself all that you like, but don't blame pot for things it is incapable of being responsible for. Honest arguments are necessary to make a case; dishonest arguments are nothing but propaganda to be dismissed out of hand.
