People comparing drug-induced psychosis with schizophrenia

It pisses me off when people come to /r/schizophrenia and complain about their drug-use and the symptoms of it. Even worse if they didn’t even have psychosis, just a bad trip. Drug-induced psychosis and schizophrenia are completely incomparable because they can’t understand the devastation of relapse, the cognitive decline, the negative symptoms, the chronic-nature, et cetera. So don’t say you know how I feel because your friend had a bad reaction to acid once.
