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

Everyone’s different but for me it made my OCD 100x 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
@Brooke Tominey WEED and OCD = BIG NO NO!!!
Don’t do it it makes it worse
shrooms actually have a better effect, i was able to have some peaceful hours. Just micro dosing tho.
Everyone is so different, but it makes mine a million times better
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
Made me worst.
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 🫠
Anyone else here with complex trauma and ocd? How did u find they correlate with each other? Possibly the trauma causing ocd? Have you found any mind blowingly obvious connections? Healing your trauma helps with ocd symptoms? I recently found out I have cptsd and have been abused by my family growing up physically and verbally. Btw still living with them and my ocd gets significantly worse or better sometimes.I have so many questions.❤️🩹
Does anyone know if weed helps ocd symptoms?
