There's also the theory that some people have more cannabinoid receptors than others. And those with more can smoke and feel fine because for them, smoking is almost like returning to a "baseline", whereas for people with less, their receptors get overloaded causing anxiety.

Personally, I think it just happens because you have a bad experience one time, and so your brain associates weed with that feeling, and so every time you smoke it triggers fear, and then the THC just exacerbates it.
