Cannabis and Pocd
Wondering if any of you have tried cannabis for your ocd and if it helped or made it worse.

Hi there - typically mixing any type of substance can increase the symptoms and is not usually recommended when doing ERP treatment. However, some people may notice some temporary relief from this if it is medicinal, but that can actually reinforce the OCD to be stronger and louder, which is not what we want because it ends up acting as reassurance. Is this something you have tried in the past?

I actually have been done with erp for about a year. I am currently looking into medical cannabis for pain, but I do not want to risk the cannabis making my ocd themes come back in full force.

@jDizzle That’s great I am happy to hear that! You could also address this with your doctor as well about any concerns, everyone’s body reacts to substances and medications differently

shrooms actually have a better effect, i was able to have some peaceful hours. Just micro dosing tho.

it’s 50/50, I’m a heavy user of 🌳 and it has made it 10x worse on multiple occasions. but there are sometimes where I feel relaxed and just out of it. I suggest not doing any droogs at all. I am ok with some natural physcs like shrooms but that’s only if you are in a really good head space in a good environment etc… Basically just be sober. Not worth the risk of making it worse

i’ve had better experiences w hybrid, indica makes me feel relaxed but when i do sativa it’s a little different. it’s not too bad, but the thoughts are still there while the other 2 make me feel calmer. but ppl are different

I smoke to help me sleep and it helps but too much makes me anxious. I prefer Indica strains since they are relaxing. Too much THC makes me anxious so i usually do low thc. Right now im doing more cbd than thc

New diagnosis
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?

Help me need insight
When I smoke weed when I think of non ocd things or themes, my head starts to make sense of things I feel more open and I think clearer. So that’s where my big concern is!!! Because when I’m high and think of ocd things like being a killer, or someone who’s a sociopath or someone that can be a pedo it feels real like my mind is clearer that I am these things Any one who has experienced weed with ocd help me I need insight on this im very confused and it’s causing me to ruminate all day

Eating and ocd
Does any one else struggle with eating when on a ocd spiral ( that’s what I call them ) I go through periods where I can’t stand the feeling of food in my body but idk I smoke weed and that helps the thought to go purge everything I don’t know if that’s my ocd or a eating disorder 🫠
