I started to smoke marijuana,every night 1 joint,3 nights now. Guys i can tell i sleep better and my thoughts are almost gone i have them but they dont scare me anymore. Maybe its a cure for my OCD. I read about marijuana and ocd and anxiety, it can trigger more anxiety and panic attacks but it can help u with anxiety it depends on people it's not the same for everyone!!

Hi there. Avid pot smoker here. I have adhd, ocd, and anxiety that I deal with. I smoke a small bowl every night before bed because it helps me sleep and takes down those intrusive late night thoughts. The reason weed makes you feel so good and can “clear” your head is because it releases dopamine in your brain when you smoke it. This extra dopamine does help a lot of people. However I have learned with weed, moderation is KEY. Make sure you don’t smoke too much or too often as this causes the dopamine realease too often and THIS is when people can have huge negative effects such as psychosis/depression/paranoia/making ocd worse. Just listen to your body, it will tell you if weed helps and at what dose :)

What brought on my HOCD really bad was getting super cross faded. I had really bad auditory hallucinations and time skips. I decided to quit completely. I miss smoking in moderation honestly but I'm scared of it now.

@DeepPain I was over at my friend's house and her brother who is a giant shit head (I've literally seen him kick a puppy if that gives you an idea). His friend jokingly said that he thinks I'm in love with my friend (I'm not) and the he decided to tune in and say that he thinks I'm a lesbian in the closet and that it's disgusting. I got so anxious that ended up speed walking home in the dark at like 4 in the morning. I've been ddealing with the obsession every single day now for like 4 and a half months and its taken the most importent things away from me. I dont even know who I am anymore. I just feel gay now, but I dont feel like me AT ALL. I also am scared of a whole bunch of other things now like being trans or a pedophile. Life is actually hell.

@hateocd123 Stay strong everything gona be fine one day. I know how u feel. Because i have same thoughts : pedophilia,gay,harm thoughts. But you are not àlone we are all in same shit. In my religion islam we call OCD: Vesvese(Demon whispering) and best cure is to ignore thoughts and focus on real life,dont avoid everything that make u feel more anxiety!

@DeepPain Thank you! I really wish I could ignore the thoughts, but I misunderstood something about treatment and thought that I was supposed to except that I'm gay even if I'm not. Now when I try to say that the thoughts aren't real I get this really intense feeling that I'm lying to myself because the false attraction feel SO REAL. I don't know what to do now. I want to say it's all fake, but I can't anymore.
