Does anyone here “self medicate”?

I’ve been using cannabis for the past two years but I’ve realised I am now completely reliant on it. It’s become so normalised to me that I’ve failed to recognise, until now, that I am actually addicted.

I've only recently found out about my adhd. The last 6 months have been the hardest time of my life and I turned to smoking weed every day to just give me the relaxation I need and to calm my brain down. Since starting I've noticed my adhd symptoms actually get worst while I'm on it. But then I also need it to feel normal.. Also completely losing the effects suck. I can easily go through 5g in a day... I always said to myself I'd never do this....

I use cannabis and a mushroom tincture made with turkey tail mushrooms and try to do active journaling but it isn't always effective but I can absolutely relate to the reliance on the cannabis I've found myself in a similar spot so I've began to micro dose with mushrooms

Sometimes when I forget the second dose of my medication for ADHD I instantly feel the need to smoke a bit of canna. I never really medicated with canna to help with focus, I used it as I saw fit for anxiety and pain. I have yet to research the right strain to help with focus. I have an adverse response to THC so I try to limit my usage and only do very small amounts . As far as breaking the pattern of habitual use I would suggest tapering off or finding an activity to do when the urge to partake hits you. I use it also as a reward after completing a task that I have put off. Not fun getting task done but the reward system helps with also developing self discipline. Good luck!!
