weed in the end ended aggravating my anxiety at first it was novel and cool but then with all wild thoughts just altered consciousness especially with strong stuff and being super high it got super terrible to the point over the years smoking weed basically consisted of me telling my self that i was ok for the whole time i remember being so high once i used the bathroom and only realized i was using the bathroom half way through it was like my body and other parts of my brain were like oh dipshit here is doing again lets take it from here again boys the last time i smoked weed i wrote a note to myself to stop it i still have it and will refer to it when i am tempted i also think lsd changed the game it literally was a before and after for how anxious altered consciousness could make me acid destroyed me and in many ways its ghost still lingers in my ocd the whole dumb what if im going crazy is basically a theme that originated with lsd and weed i totally support using psychedelics potentially in a therapeutic environment with medical and psychiatric supervision but outside of that i think drugs tend to wreak more havoc than benefits i know weed helps some friends of my with anxiety it makes mine so much worse
