So i tried that delta 9 thc(hemp) and cbd stuff a month ago now. I spazzed out and almost seemed possessed. I seculuded myself, was at odd’s with my parents, got muted on a discord channel i frequent for 5 days, got banned from this forum for 5 days, and the voices were horrible yet i accepted them. The list goes on from there. I’m sorry guys if i lead anyone astray from doing what’s healthy as i was a real idiot when i was on here after i took the delta 9. I highly recommend anyone with schizoaffective disorder to NEVER do thc or anything like it as the consequences are horrible. Once again, i apologize for being an idiot while i was on here. I hope you all have a good day today.

I almost bought THC yesterday its legal here but I didn’t as it always made me psychotic before. I am in the process of stopping meds and I don’t want THC to destabilize me.

I’m on Abilify and I use cannabis frequently to sleep. I find that lower doses don’t aggravate me. But the reality is that it just stopped bothering me at a certain point

So glad I dont have this issue with THC. Granted I take very low doses at a time.
I’m so sorry you went through that @nicGeorge but you know now that THC is not a good mix with your psychosis. Always a learning experience. Best of luck with your recovery from the psychosis.

It sucks that its legal and easily accessible here. The gov has stores and even sells online and ships to my door. It sucks.

Yeah, I know. My friend used to order weed from Canada and pick it up from his local store in Sweden.

Thc either made me hallucinate or dissociate and also made me depressed for days afterward. My brain does not agree with it. Cbd didnt do anything. Thats good cuz then its money saved

The last time I used weed was in 1995 and I almost left my body. I am not extremely tempted to get it even though it is legal here. It gets boring after you use it habitually. And it’s always the same. I don’t believe I would be able to handle it because I am very fragile and a little mad.
I don’t regret taking drugs. Sometimes I think that I’d like the 45k salary and everything that goes with it but heck you can’t have it both ways. Or really complain when your skint because you’ve spent a decade stoned or whatever.
Cannabis causes psychosis. WATCH OUT

You can bloody guarantee that every schizophrenic out there, will try cannabis at some point, in an effort to relieve symptoms. And in the end - they have to find out for themselves, cos no amount of advice will change their mind.

hey all good man, no need to apologize really 
i dont think anyone would hold it against you. You live you learn… SZ is a difficult disease, sometimes people experiement with different substances. THC is well known to worsen SZ so maybe it was a bad idea but we all make mistakes. Its really kind and considerate that youre thinking of others who might have followed suit… good for you though! glad youre healthy again

I havent used weed in prob at least a month and now im scared to cause i quit my meds and i find myself on the edge of losing my mind sometimes so im afraid to. I think about it but i prob shouldnt. I will prob fail eventually but i try not to.
At a personal level, THC is the quickest way to get me from stable to unstable. I won’t touch the stuff.
THC doesn’t worsen my positive symptoms but it does make recovery from my negatives worse for a day and stall for a couple days afterwards as my body takes time to get everything back up and running again. It also makes me more emotionally fragile while stuff gets into gears. I consider it a plus in my life in small doses for limited periods as it’s something I enjoy and that in itself is a good thing, but if I stick to it it becomes an hindrance to building myself back up.
I must say though, for me it’s a lifesaver when I have a couple days where I have consistent insomnia, mania related or otherwise, because it gets me to sleep and that actually has massive benefits when sleep deprivation is pushing me uncomfortably close to a psychotic break and nothing else seems to help.
I am very happy it doesn’t make me psychotic because it’s also a core part of the social group of one of my friends and it would really make it hard to maintain even a quarter of my already empty social life if I had to stop entirely.
i wish it did that for me. ive heard it makes some people tired but for me that has never happened. it would be more useful to me if it did

Tried smoking it, just a tiny bit, one time after psychosis started. Bad idea. Frightened me terribly. No drugs for me ever again. 
Nice that you’re offering apologies to others.
