Question..does anybody else experience heightened OCD behaviors while smoking marijuana??

I had to stop smoking weed, drinking alcohol, and even caffeine completely because they sent me into panics. It’s a control thing. People with ocd like to be in control and anything that makes them feel out of control of their own bodies or even trapped (like being trapped in a high they don’t want to be in anymore) causes panic.

I wish :/ once I do I’ll let you know but so far even being apart of a conversation with someone and having to sit there and listen and not talk is enough to send me into a panic. Even with cutting every trigger out of my life I’m still very hyper aware of all bodily sensations so that even causes me to panic. At this point i wouldn’t even know where to begin to not feel like I have to be in control at all times lol

Before I even dealt with ocd when I would smoke weed I would get similar thoughts to what I have now!! Some even more delusional and wierd. They would be extremely repetitive too I would also have panic attacks(shake uncontrollably) and dissociate .

that’s a good point, the strain I’ve been getting is a super strong head high, so that definitely doesn’t help...a hybrid or body high might be better suited for me... thanks! yea I’m so curious about this!!

YES. I've had terrible OCD symptoms while smoking and nobody I mention that to seems to understand it. I have no reason to smoke it anymore; it used to make me feel good but now it only forces me into a thought loop. I foolishly tried smoking some indica last night to try to sleep and I woke up to panic attacks.

I’m following this. I smoke a strain that only gets me body high so it relaxes and only at night but am really curious about others experience and if somehow it could be backfiring in certain ways

Well I’m not sure if mine is directly linked to OCD or just other anxieties but if I smoke anything with a head high, but especially high head High I get incredibly panicky and tend to place myself into huge panic attacks that are hard to get out of. I always thought it was just me but maybe it does have something to do with OCD and others have similar experience. I have a pure stativa blend that I vape to avoid combustion because that increases anxiety for me and it helps a ton to just relax my body prior to sleep. Sadly doesn’t help with the staying asleep Part though haha

Sorry for spelling errors haha thought I got all of them!

Yes yes yes!! Do you have anything that allows you to safely practice not having full control? I find that I need to release control more in life and relationships but because it induces panic in basically everything i try to hold on even tighter

Right there with you! We will get better!!
