I’m thinking of trying weed edibles, but I wanted to ask if anyone here had tried them? What were your experiences like? I’m just a little apprehensive at the moment because I’m concerned I’ll feel more anxiety.

Weed edibles with THC? I've taken edibles a few times. For me it feels like a regular weed high but with a delay because of digestion. I quit smoking because it's what ultimately triggered me having really severe OCD. If you're talking about CBD I've had gummies chocolate bars ect. The gummies have always sucked. It depends on where you get them from IG. The chocolate bars I get are really really great. They're Kava's organic chocolate bars. My favorite flavor is white chocolate lemon cheesecake. I get them at my local kava bar.

Do not eat the edibles, I was a cannabis user. Sadly using high concentrated forms of cannabis triggers my intrusive thoughts ocd. Not saying that this would be the case for you but thc is a physcho active and it could physcho activate your amygdala which could trigger anxiety.

Thanks everyone for your thoughtful responses ❤️

Yes weed triggers ocd thoughts for me too. Maybe take very minimal at first till you build a tolerance. Nothing worse than being trapped in your head with intrusive thoughts. It's not like you can get "unhigh" you have to wait it out or pray that you fall asleep

They make cbd gummies and capsules without the thc. Regular weed i heard is bad with people with anxiety and ocd.

I've tried many different cbd gummies and capsules. None of it worked for me. But everyone is different. I know a few people that they say it relaxed them and definitely noticed a difference.

I once had a tiny nibble by accident (didn’t know they were “magic”) and I had terrible spins (no OCD flares). But if it’s something where I know the dose I will sometimes have just a little bite to ease soreness after a lot of physical labor or when I can’t sleep. The worst that ever happens to me is dizziness or having the memory of a goldfish: try explaining that to someone when you can’t remember the start of the sentence you’re currently saying... I would say if you want to try it, go slow, even slower than you think. Edibles take longer to kick in and can last longer too. I would also try to have someone as your babysitter/responsible buddy just in case you do have any unpleasantly trippy side effects or symptoms of your OCD. Remember, you don’t have to try it; don’t feel pressured. Whatever you choose, good vibes your way.
