I don’t think it causes it, sz is a very complex illness that has a lot of factors going into it.
I do know that if someone has sz genes, it can sort of speed up the ticking time bomb, or maybe even trigger it when it might not have ever gone off.
Also it greatly increases paranoia and psychotic episodes for those with sz as well. My pdoc was talking to me about it but I assured her I was well aware and had no plans of touching the stuff.
Maybe marijuana is for some people but I would highly recommend against it for anyone with any kind of psychotic disorder or anyone who has had a history of psychotic disorders in their family.
It could, my opinion about sz is that it’s in the gene pool somewhere .
So those afflicted with sz are living examples of how the brain can be crosswired sometimes from birth.
Weed for someone predisposed to sz might trigger It to a very bad level.
This is just me…
Pot did NOT cause my Sz…
but it sure made me depressed… numb and hateful… paranoid… delusional… made my motivation dry up and made it so my meds didn’t work…
I’ve been clean and sober for 6 years now… I’m finally getting my life back on track.
Weed made me dissociative. I don’t think it caused my psychosis though
