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!
It is legal here too (Canada) and I'm way above the legal age too, so I'm happy to weigh in on my experience. (Spoiler alert: it's uneventful đ) I didn't like THC either. Long story short, I didn't realize that you should only have one brownie and not like typical dessert consumption... it was rough and my OCD about it was bad the next day. I don't do THC - personally, do not like. CBD? No issues whatsoever. Even the ones with a little THC didn't bother me at all (didn't notice the THC effect). I think CBD helped me a little, but not tons so I don't really use it because the benefit didn't really align with the cost for me. And the taste 𤢠not so great. I liked the gummies but they're sooo expensive.
Similar experience here. Also in Canada.
Cbd is not marijuana. It has no thc. I wouldnt waste your money. Put that money into erp therapy
CBD is unlikely to do much. It might help take the edge off of anxiety. Maybe. But that's it. As for THC... I was doing really well before I started using legal medical cannabis for sleep issues. I was more or less OCD free (so far as I was aware, barring obsessive health anxieties) for ten years but had developed an obsession over sleep after a camping trip last year. Because of my bad experience with SSRIs, I'm very anti-medication, so thought the medical cannabis would be a better option. It started working really well for the first few weeks but then when vaping outside for the first time, I had a thought pop in my head "what if my OCD came back", and honestly, it was like a switch being flipped. All of my old worries and compulsions came within 24 hours. It's up to you obviously but honestly, it has messed me up and potentially caused the break up of my marriage. It has destroyed me. And this wasn't like i was doing it to excess either, I was using a small amount administered by vape in an evening.
I have to agree. As much as I would love to get high I just CANNOT tolerate the potential paranoia and all that goes with it because it just gets the ocd wheels spinning.
CBD sometimes helps me to sleep. If you have never had THC, CBD is more effective. However, THC in high doses can definitely make OCD worse, so if youâre going to try, if you vape, I would literally just do one vape and then stop. Let your body see how it feels and then if you feel like youâre okay or like youâre already high, I would leave it there. THC in small doses can be very effective for anxiety.
If you do use THC, I would also not use it everyday, more like once a week as a build up in your system can make your anxiety worse.
cw: weed talk Does anyone have any success stories with using pot, and/or cbd? I recently got my medical card and Iâd LOVE to hear strain recommendations, what ratios work best for you, how much you tend to need, etc. Just anything that can help me with the weed <-> ocd correlation. Thanks!
I was wondering if anyone uses medical marijuana or CBD oil and what your experiences are like?
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.
