hi, i'm new to the boards, i've been here a week, and already have found awesome info at the alternative sites, and enjoyed reading the posts here.
does anyone here have ocd, and find that when they smoke weed that their intrusive thoughts are really intensified. my brother and i both have ocd. i stopped smoking years ago, i'm also a recovering alcoholic, [almost 6 month's sober]. my brother smokes weed twice a week, and his ocd becomes almost uncontrollable.[his therapist of course told him to stop but he is pretty well dependent] i had the same effect many years ago. anyone with ocd, or depression, feel pot has totally worsened their condition at times? thanks, peace....john berk

Not that it's going to stop your bro's (or anyone else's) use of illicit drugs when suffering from chemical imbalalances such as OCD, but I can tell you that THC is going to affect areas of the brain the haven't even been mapped out yet, so why mess around with it? If your bro wants something to chill him out a bit on OCD, there are some Pdocs willing to *cautiosly* script some meds that may replace his "craving" for the pot.

weed is so dangerous for me...
alcohol is a slow numbing..weed is quick..weed is a troll on my shoulder..weed thinks doom..weed does not allow me to think..

It's so variable, more than with most other drugs. Some people should not take it, others it really suits.
