Weed
Does it help or make your ocd worse?
Does it help or make your ocd worse?
It can make it better because it can help manage your mood, it'll eventually get to the point where it controls your mood and you'll be dependent on it. Your body also may build up an intolerance and may lead to all sorts of issues. Another thing is, a lot of it come from unreliable sources and can be laced with other drugs so it's all a gamble. Bottom line, I wouldn't if I were you. Just like compulsions, it offers false sanctuary but ultimately will make things worse
I have tried using THC for the past 5 years. For me, if I’m in a decent headspace, it makes me a lot more comfortable in my own skin. Temporarily. I have addictive tendencies, so I end up overdoing it. After a month or so of heavy use, I hit a wall of extreme anxiety. I stop cold turkey, and go through a nightmare of OCD (and withdrawals) for 4-6 weeks. Eventually, I feel a little better, try it again and repeat the cycle. I wish it worked for me, but it’s just not in the cards. Others may have different results, but it ends up fueling my OCD.
I feel like I suffered the same thing
I’ve been smoking for a year and have gotten bad anxiety…I’m scared to stop last time I did I had TERRIBLE ANXIETY
So much worse
Didn’t help with intrusive thoughts. Honestly, made me feel more withdrawn and depressed.

cw: weed talk Does anyone have any success stories with using pot, and/or cbd? I recently got my medical card and I’d 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!
Has anyone heard or tried using medical marijuana? I have been using the meds the doctor gave me and up and up the doses but still feeling the same, i was looking into other meds and options and saw articles saying it helped people with ocd. I’m thinking of going to my doctor to see what he thinks, but wanted to know if anyone on here has tried it?
Has anyone ever had experience OCD triggered by weed..? 1.5 years ago i got really high with my boyfriend and i thought about a really traumatizing horror movie i used to obsess over in high school and got a major panic attack. Ever since then i have ocd themes around horror movies and gore, and my brain has been high alert ever since and been a living hell. I want my normal life back…i miss having a clear mind and not living in fear every day. Could the weed have permanently damaged my brain?? Or maybe it was just a trigger? I keep blaming myself for getting too high that day and its given me depression along with ocd. Can someone help/give advice on this?
