If you experience this from vaporizing and not from smoking, then I'm pretty sure the problem is which cannabinoids you are getting at which temperatures. When you smoke, you get the full range of THC and CBD (There are other ones, but these are the important ones). When you vaporize, depending on the temperature, you're not getting all the cannabinoids due to their different boiling points. Most likely you are only getting THC and not enough CBD. CBD counteracts the anxiety and paranoia you experience from THC and is mostly responsible for the "chill" and anti-anxiety aspects of pot. It's also apparently responsible for most of the pain-killing cannabis does.
It's definitely worth looking into if you haven't already. Here's a link to get you started:

You may very well be on to something here! That looks like an interesting site, and I'd be interested to self-administer CBD on its own to test its effects.
I figured the first few posts would think it had something to do with hallucinogens leftover in my pipe, laced weed, or some other wildcard, but I'm telling you those are
consistent effects from weed - no matter the route of administration (eaten, vaped, smoked - I've tried everything but injected and sticking up my butt).
I'm glad about the last response, though, because that intrigues me and is not something I have heard before.
Usually people can't believe that their beloved MJ would actually create negative effects in people...given all the propaganda that surrounds MJ these days, basically touting it as a miracle plant. MJ has always been held in high esteem by its users, and now it's taken to a whole new level with the articles claiming that it is good for fighting cancer.
In my case, I seriously doubt that MJ would have any anti-cancer effects given the level of holistic dissonance it creates throughout my mind-body. Only negative physical effects can result from such a frame, which is why I also often experience irritable bowel syndrome surrounding the consumption of weed. Sometimes I even experience IBS just from thinking about consuming weed.
I basically don't consume weed for a year or so, and then get curious and think maybe my brain chemistry has changed, and I can now enjoy it, but then I find out again and again that it's just not for me. I've heard stories of other people who have similar symptoms, but we are either not very vocal about it, or are a very small minority of people.
It's sometimes a bit frustrating to explain, as most people don't seem to be able to grasp that it could be possibly negative in any way to any person. And by negative I don't mean that it makes you lazy and not get off the couch or something like that...I'm talking more along the lines of immersive dread and doom (in very high dosages - which in my case "very high dosage" can be as low as one bong rip or a couple small hits out of a GVG), and the physical sensations that accompany such psychological states.
I'm used to people on forums like the shroomery saying "dude, you're just psyching yourself out, and missing out on an amaaaaaaaazing herb!" Such people have zero empathy, and cannot even begin to comprehend my experience.
I say BAN MARIJUANA! Just kidding. I do notice that there is not very much negative press about it though, which seems unjustified given the people I've talked to and the experiences I've had with it.
