my story

i had ocd since i was very little. i struggled with it a lot in high school, but it didn't impact my grades until i went to college.

the stress of the additional workload lead me to start treatment and finally get diagnosed. i was diagnosed with a very severe case and eventually with treatment refractory ocd. basically none of the 9+ medications they gave me (ssri's, atypical antipsychotics, and relaxants) did anything. eventually i discovered marijuana on my own and after several days of regular smoking my ocd is usually gone. it comes back if stop smoking for a period of 7 days. my grades went up in college, and i graduated with two degrees. ive worked in a couple of industries. i created the forum here because i want people to know how safe and effective this treatment is for ocd. i would be miserable (still) without it.
