Itâs a good article, I agree with it premise.
I know in my case I heard voices before I ever touched THC, and the THC doesnât make my symptoms worse.
I will say though that my addiction issues were due in part to the symptoms and a desire to cope, in an unhealthy manner. I know Iâm not alone in being the only one who desired a buzz to handle.
But that doesnât make the illness a precursor to addiction issues on that basis alone. Plenty of folks stay sober or even blame the drugs.
Good one EH!
