do you guys smoke weed? why or why not? like what does it do to ur ocd

i think some strains are alright, the problem is just that weed has been crossbred so much that no strains are truly pure anymore. but ive heard about the cbd stuff, that could be really good. but my personal opinion is that self medication is just a quick fix, and the relaxed state and happiness that comes from recovery is so much betyer than any high

i dont dare do it, the weed in denmark is really strong and i know way too many people that have ended up with psychosis because of it

Personally whenever I smoke it’s a 50/50 chance that’ll make my OCD worse or better lol

Some people do need a help in hand to get there though xx

i completely agree! from what ive heard tho, antidepressants work so differently on people, so to some people its not very helpful.

if i was in the us, maybe i’d try the weed there, but the stuff sold on christiania in copenhagen where i live has been through decades of development, made to make you as high as possible. so i think its waaay too strong for me ahahah

its illegal, too, in denmark. youre allowed to be high, but not allowed to possess any weed

but there is that huge area where they sell the weed where the police only sometimes are able to pass through

that sounds nice tho! i think ive been mildly high from second hand smoking (if im trapped in a space thats clouded by smoke from joints) and tbh, it just made time go really, really slow. didnt do much at all, but didnt make me feel shit or anxious either

I’m still very new to smoking but I stopped because I noticed that it made me super paranoid (plus I had a little too much a few months back and it gave me a bad panic attack). I’ve smoked a few times in the past and been more or less fine, but I don’t think it’s what my body needs right now

I have... It helps in the moment if it isn't too strong, but after it makes me anxious. But it helped the first night this week alone. It got me to sleep the first night. It's not dangerous but if you have schizophrenia in your family, don't do it because it could bring your faulty gene out. Also, check about legal stuff in your area etc.

You're better off with anti depressants though xx

i live in oregon so it’s all legally purchased! i used to absolutely love smoking weed and as soon as my ocd came back for the first time in years smoking just makes it worse. it’s a bummer i used to love being high :(

like when i’m high my anxiety levels spike and my thoughts are extra weird and therefore extra upsetting

If it's strong ocd does become a bitch. But hash is okay, it can help actually

I'm managing to live alone for a week, and I have been on sertraline for over a month. I think it has helped me cope a bit xx

It's in no way ganna fix ocd, ocd becomes the way we think, but it helps a bit if you get the right one and stick with it xx

I'm from the uk so it's illegal. If they caught you with a personal amount, genuinely they only take it off you. But obviously stick to the law I just wanted to try it for my anxiety to see if it helps. But tbh I'll probably never do it again. The anxiety afterwards is crap

Yeah I mean there are so many types. But a really strong one I tried was absolutely horrible. I had an anxiety attack and felt shit for days. But a couple of days ago a not so strong spliff helped me sleep and got me through the first night alone

Yeah it definitely makes time slow. Which can be nice if you're trying to sleep cause you feel it's been 5 hours and it's only been 1. But it can also seem quite scary and like you're really no in control of life at all. I will also say that before I touched weed, I did have schizophrenic moments where I'd hear voices shouting in my ear or breathing. But weed never brings it on for me personally. Not to say it wouldn't for you though. It tends to give me an electric shock in my head which I'm guessing is the high feeling. Which after the electric shock I tend to feel a little small in this huge world. I still feel 'different' without going past the electric shock point. I asked anyone else if they experience the electric shock thing and they say no. I'm guessing it's because my ocd makes my neurons wild anyway, so any added factor sends them even more mental but sometimes in a good way. Like I'll over think but I won't have any anxiety attached and I can tend to feel much more like life is kind. Much more in love with life. I enjoy food a lot when I'm high. I also enjoy music a lot when I'm high. But not if I've had really strong weed I tend to feel out of control and like the world has all it's power over me. Xx

it made me psychotic when i was a heavy smoker. smoking an extremely small amount is super helpful. shrooms are incredible, my symptoms went away for a few days last time i did them. cbd is probably good, i ran out recently but i feel it’s worth the money to buy it again.
