Marijuana, for me, makes my thoughts so much worse & all the accompaniment of physical symptoms. If I do want to use it, I use a 3:1 gummy (cbd:thc) bc that relaxes my body but my mind stays the normal amount of annoying.

I would be really mindful of the total thc content and psychoactive affect(been smoking for a while medically 2+ yrs and recent diagnosis) and i find that if i ruminate on the fact that i smoked and it might be horrid for me— 1:1 thc:cbd or more diluted would work for you because it produces almost no psychoactive affect- the cbd and thc being together give the entourage affect its name. the phenomenon that having cbd and thc both present, not just concentrates of either one, can be useful for different purposes— this 1:1 ratio is thought to be incredibly medically useful and is usually for cancer patients. psycho active weed usually has 10:1 or more concentration

I will on occasion take edibles that I am familiar with and they make it very easy to relax my body and release tension that I’ve been holding onto. I feel a distance from the intrusive thoughts I think because I become very dialed into the moment. Also I forgive myself way more. Smoking weed can be a bit different though, especially around people. I think it’s all about the mindset you have when you go into it too. Like if you’re already having a bad day, i wouldn’t do anything. I also purposefully don’t do weed or drink a whole lot because I have family history of addiction, so I am very mindful of my limits.

@peaks&valleys i totally agree- no matter ur mindset you will get the feeling you’re having amplified (mentally, at least for me)

@andyminshew sounds like you have added a layer to the cycle and that might be increasing the uncertainty. I don’t have any experience, but I hope you can work on the original rumination with your responses.

@andyminshew Sitting on uncertainty is hard. I am better at it on some than others. I am grateful for times i practice even when it is hard. I never thought I would say “maybe” to my obsession and feel kind of ok with that.

@andyminshew Have you done the SOS button on the lower right corner of the therapy page? It helped me a couple of times.

I’ve actually been very curious about this myself. My past experience with marijuana have been positive and negative. I know they have specific cannabis to help with certain things like anxiety and I was curious how this would go if I implemented it into my daily routine.
