Cannabis use causing severe OCD

I always have had ocd like symptoms my whole life, but in 2020 early in the year I tried edibles and had a horrific traumatic experience where I genuinely thought I was dying. Soon after this experience I had major anxiety, derealization, depression, and then OCD. The day my brain broke was soon after this experience with cannabis, which many people describe as when people first developed severe OCD and anxiety, like life was not the same anymore. Has anyone experienced something similar to this ? I really wonder if this is what has caused my mental health to spiral in ways I never thought imaginable. I know cannabis can cause things such as schizophrenia and psychosis if a person is prone to these disorders.

Canibus caused me to have anxiety and panic attacks as a teen and I haven’t smoked it since

Weed just makes me so paranoid. Always has. Maybe cbd will work?

I’ve heard it helps calm you down from a bad high but I don’t know much about that !

yes, after I smoked cannabis one day with a friend, and he joked with me and told me that I smoked acid, and then right after I went into derealization. Also during that theme, I had a huge fear against drugs like that, so it made it worse. I forgot how long this lasted for, but meditating helped me get out of the derealization. But I had it on and off for about 1 year. It's gone away now but if it comes, I know what to do with it.

I devolved severe ocd after a traumatizing acid trip :/. I had ocd my whole life but pretty mild and it hit me like a truck after that experience

I had an awful weed experience. I also had ocd my whole life. I wouldn’t say the weed triggered my OCD, but after I went off my meds, I relapsed really bad with my OCD, and I struggled with derealization based on the hallucinations/delusions I had when I smoked. I wont go into what it was because I can’t put a trigger warning here lol. Weed isn’t even supposed to make people hallucinate. But apparently it’s possible

I definitely feel like its effects are not researched enough or just not put out there enough. It’s really somthing that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Has anyone used any kind of cannabis for ocd. I tried it a couple of times and it just made my anxiety worse (I'm told it's the thc). Any info will be appreciated.

CBD

Had anyone who's had bad experiences with THC & ocd/mental health tried CBD varieties? Was it okay or did you have a bad experience as well? I'm not sure if this discussion is allowed on this platform but I am of age and it's legal here. Im trying to get some advice to figure out whether it's a bad idea to try CBD after having bad experiences with THC. thanks!

Drug trip/anxiety

Out of nowhere 2 weeks ago I started feeling like I was tripping on drugs. (I haven't touched a drug since 2012 because of a horrible trip I experienced..) 2 weeks ago I was at Walmart and I felt like I was dying. I felt double. I felt like I was out of body almost. (This is exactly what I felt when I smoked k2 in 2012..) Panic attack came. Since then I haven't felt the same. I can't stop thinking about it and feeling this way. All I feel is despair. I can't shake it. Is this OCD?? I struggled with harm OCD before this happened. But honestly this is worse.
