Does marijuana make it worse?

the drug used to work wonders for me before I developed symptoms. kinda afraid to try it now

for some people yes. for me if i smoke weed the voices get wayy too loud and i get paranoid and panic but only certain strains do that one time when i smoked it didnt have that effect. if ur gonna smoke weed and u have MI u should only smoke indica strains with a 1:1 thc cbd ratio or higher cbd than thc. strains with too much thc and too little cbd make psychosis worse because thc is psychoactive and cbd counteracts some of the psychoactive effects

I wouldn’t start up again.
Lay off the drugs.

Statistically, marijuana makes you 89% more likely to have a psychotic episode if you already suffer from a psychotic disorder. Pure CBD oil is being studied as an antipsychotic, but the amount you need ends up costing about $60/day, which is way too much for most people. And it hasn’t been proven effective yet.

It works about as well for schizophrenia as gasoline does for putting out a fire.

I have more visual hallucinations, but other than that, not much else happens. Weed never triggered anything bad in me that I can think of.
