Would NOT recommend as OCD is an anxiety disorder. People will tell you it mellows you out but in the long term it has the opposite effect. 1 person I knew with severe anxiety smoked weed constantly to calm themselves and ended up becoming progressively more anxious (over a period of a couple years) until they took their own life. Another friend of mine eventually stopped being able to leave the house because the weed had increased their anxiety so much. It might work for some but I personally don’t want to risk it because I never know what effect it might have.
Yes. Don’t smoke it makes the anxiety worse for pretty much everyone with OCd
I feel like this is what triggered HOCD years ago for me. ??♀️ but ppl swear it helps with anxiety. But im with you @tabbykitty it makes it so much worse for me
^do you think it depends on the person? or is it actually proven that it makes everyone paranoid?
@okay-cool oh it def depends on the person. It literally freaks me out.. but others its totally okay for them!
I always thought it made mine worse and triggered an intense fear of being near marijuana which I had for years, but recently I tried again and it turns out just indica makes it worse and I do fine with really small amounts of sativa but I mean small like only one hit does the trick. Start with a very tiny hit, wait 20 mins, see how you do, and build up. Do baby steps until you learn. But tbh as far as ocd symptoms mine is always better with alcohol. However I don’t drink often so as to not fuel any bad habits
But when you google it everyone says if you have anxiety to do indica and idk man it’s the opposite for me maybe ocd is different?
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?
