Has anyone been prescribed medical marijuana to help with their ocd?

I'm not sure if it's allowed either, but I would not recommend mari if you're anxious or paranoic, it can make you feel pretty worse
I’m a daily user (it’s legal here in Canada). It truly makes me feel better BUT…. It depends on the strain!! Some strains are stimulants and others are relaxing. The stimulant strains (sativa) make OCD / anxiety worst for me! I find an Indica or Hybrid with higher CBD content works best for me personally! I just find it’s a temporary fix… I use it mostly in the evenings.
@sofia stella I couldn’t agree with you more
@herrera44 😊
Marijuana has not worked for me. It tends to make me anxious and fixate on my OCD. I hope it works well for you though.
I smoked it 10 years ago for about 6 months. At first it helped my racing thoughts slow down so I could rationalise them but then, as it wasn't exactly legal, I couldn't moderate the use properly. Also, it came from an unregulated source and I'm pretty sure was laced with other drugs or chemicals sometimes. It became a bad habit. There is definitely medicinal value in it but I don't believe it's something you should rely on for ever, and definitely get something legal as its much safer.
I do it once it a while and I find myself feeling very motivated and productive but I’m currently in a school program that drug tests so I can’t do it. I wanted to see if others have a prescription for it since I’ve never heard of anyone getting prescribed it for OCD
Wondering if any of you have tried cannabis for your ocd and if it helped or made it worse.
I just got diagnosed with ocd and she suggested I think about taking lexapro for it. Has anybody tried that and does it help at all?
Hey what’s up y’all Does anyone else have generalized anxiety along with OCD and is taking a low dose medication? I wanted to try something I’m not big on meidcation but it’s getting to a point that it’s really affecting my day to day even though I’ve been dealing with it for years and years
