I don't honestly know. Because if it was a chemical reaction causing paranoia, wouldn't it do that for everyone? But if this is the case, maybe it wouldn't be such a prevalent symptom if it was legal.

When I was in college, I dabbled. We definitely weren't worried about law enforcement at UVic. It was social situation and speaking with people that caused me paranoia.
But yes, after habitual use (once a day for a week in a row+), that went away. I think marijuana is just really strong these days. So without a tolerance, which builds very quickly, it will cause a lot of unwanted side effects in most people.
