In my experience, that has been from taking too much.
A light couple of puffs every now and again can be great, but if I get super stoned I get super paranoid and easily freaked out.
"Micro-dosing" pot is what allows me to move with minimal pain and focus on tasks. "Macro-dosing" is where the paranoia can come in, but that's also fairly dependent on the strain you're using.
Paranoia is also boosted if you're afraid to get caught being high. As an adult in a legal state, my only consistent responsibility being a geriatric cat, I don't get paranoid much at all anymore. When I do, it's pretty easy to remind myself that I was clear-headed before I smoked, and I know around what time I'll be clear (or clear enough) again.
