My working theory for the increased anxiety from smoking Vs vaping is to do with increased inhalation of the combustion products as well as both CO and CO2; increased CO2 inhalation is known to increase anxiety (or atleast the symptoms of it).
Plus with vaping my consumption of cannabis went from 1oz a month to 1oz every 6months.
Interestingly cutting out caffiene helped massively with my anxiety, but I noticed I was unable to effectively multi task, as such I've switched from coffee in the morning and through the day to a single strong cup of tea, and then 1-2 cups of coffee between 3-5pm, with very little negative effect (though my coffee is half decaf and half regular)
The main bit of caffeine coming towards the end of (but not after) my meds functional period appears to be much less anxiety inducing, but still allows me to function in the evening.
