Does weed cause anyone else to strongly feel individual emotions and forces them into contemplating suppressed issues they have in their lives?

Cannabis

I've been using weed both recreationally and to help with anxiety I get. In normal, small smoke sessions I might feel really nice and even euphoric at times, and not have any anxiety or a worry in the world. Whenever I smoke when I got nothing going on and im bored, I'm more likely to contemplate small life issues about myself and family, and while takes me ever so slightly out of my comfort zone, it doesnt bother me and kindly reminds me of what I need improve in my life, and at most I might not have a given emotion when this goes on, im just indifferent, not sad, not super happy.

When I'm fucked up and beyond, my absolute demons come out. Without describing my issues too much, after some dabs, moonrocks, and good bud I ended up getting couch locked and green sick last night, and while in my mild-coma, some of the most suppressed issues I have with myself and mostly my family came out in full force, and saddened me so much that as I sat there the only emotions that apply to my state and thoughts are depression and suicidal thoughts. It was fucking beyond terrible. Hands down one of the worst nights of my life. I trip hard on pot, and it was almost like I could physically feel these emotions and thoughts in my head as I saw stuff. It absolutely tore me up, and as soon as I was functioning again I went home.

I feel as if my experience last night is not something I can ignore and something im going to have to deal with, and I know thats going to be a long painful process. Every single person in my family I have some deeply suppressed issue with that I havent notice until I started smoking regularly, and some of these issues are not easy to solve or deal with.

I'm just wondering if this happens to other people on the regular. I'm going to stop smoking for a bit and start getting advice and start talking to family about these issues soon hopefully. I hope you guys can get me pointed in the right direction on this. I'm convinced I have some really unhealthy thoughts, emotions, and opinions that I need to deal with.

Edit: Worth noting I wasnt in the best environment last night. It was a slightly runned down stoner den playing fucking red hot chili peppers and other shitty music. I was there with a close friend and two of his friends. The two kids who lived there were your stereotypical stoners who had nothing going for them and the younger of the two was driving me insane once I started to get sick. Looking back on it I dont really want to smoke there or with those two guys ever again.
