weed makes me spaz out. Inner monologue becomes 3 times louder and I'm very susceptible to why isn't my loved one paying attention to me and paranoid thoughts of my surroundings. As well as childhood traumatic flashbacks. I'm in California so medical Marijuana standard is accessible. I used to be able to recreationally smoke in my adolescent years all the time no problem, not recently/ past few years though. It becomes a very fascinating but very traumatic experience every time. I'd suggest staying sober, weed can become an escape too like alcohol. Cbd oil on the other hand I have found helpful. It relaxes/aids pain on your muscles when rubbed on and I never took it orally consistently enough to tell if it was aiding my depression or anxiety but it didn't give me any negative side effects either.

I used to smoke everyday but then when my OCD got bad it would make my intrusive thoughts so much louder and worse and started making me have panic attacks. Rly weird and it sucks so much cause I love weed 😭 but I have heard other experiences where ppl have the complete opposite experience. If u do smoke, I would stay away from sativa and only smoke indica

I use cbd flower almost daily. Super relaxing, enough to completely get rid of any caffeine jitters from my morning coffee. It also helps me calm down before bed. I picked up the habit a little bit after my most recent OCD bout started. Delta 8 thc is nice for mindfulness too if im out on a hike i notice details of my surroundings more, but I also agree that it can heighten your sense of anxiety/ rumination if youre not slow with it. Mixing thc and cbd is optimal then (called “the entourage effect”), but thc is not recommended for those seeking to do erp. Hope this helps!

@Morgan Cbd flower is the actual bud that can be inhaled like medical cannabis...when it comes to cbd oil though, which wont hurt the lungs as bad, usually two drops a day (one in the morning and one at night) will do the trick. Just be consistently using it or else the effects wont be as strong. The oil takes about and hr to two hrs to kick in

@Morgan I usually smoke the flower in a joint or in a dry herb vape (easier on the lungs) because the effects appear faster so I can better measure how much I need.

Delta 8 gummies or pen One hit and relaxing without the “high/ anxiety” feel CBD I would put in my drinks like tea and such and never noticed anything

Hey friends, I hope you all are well. I just wanted to check in and ask people's experiences about being on medication. I have had OCD pretty much my whole life, just got recently diagnosed 4 months ago and my therapist recommended that I get on meds for it so I have a psychiatrist appointment set up. I'm a little apprehensive about getting on them, but I've realized that I do have some sort of chemical imbalance in my brain that plays a part in my OCD and anxiety. I would love to hear anyones experiences or words of encouragement. Thank you, I hope you all are well.

I understand that everyone is different but lately I have been debating on medication just because of past experiences but does anyone have any good experiences with medication that has helped them with their OCD as well as therapy or treatment? As of now I’m dealing with it by myself but it feels like it may be getting worse
