Short answer is psychostimulants and THC/Psychodelics don't usually go well together.
It is quite clear from the scientific medical literature that even smoking weed alone do cause paranoia and anxiety even though it gives people a moment of calmness right after smoking. Smoking weed while also taking stimulant would have high probability to make you paranoid and feel like going crazy.
