Not exactly the same situation, but... a little similar, I guess? Cannabis has never given me generalized anxiety - sometimes it does, however, force me to pay attention to some real truths that I tend to ignore while sober. e.g., I gained 60lb from the start of quarantine to now, became way less physically active, etc. If I get particularly high, it forces me to confront this, and that it's a destructive lifestyle I need to change instead of continuing to put it off.
And, well, I think that anxiety is deserved? It's objectively true and a literal life and death matter. For me it's less I have anxiety in general because I am very good at not being honest with myself while not high, but that the anxiety I sometimes get really is constructive, because otherwise I ignore it. A recent shift in my eating habits for the better was directly brought on by a particularly bad bout of anxiety around all of this while very high, and I would consider that to be a good thing.
Most of the time when I get stoned I don't deal with any sort of anxiety, though.
