How often did you smoke?
Thats good! F pot. Makes you stupid and forgetful. Not to mention the risk of paranoia and all that if susceptible to psychosis.

I would never advocate for cannabis - does bad for sz patients if I’m asked

How is it a problem? Shite. Going into psychosis I was struggling after a decade of smoking. Yeah it was good early slowing down those racing thoughts but the paranoia and problems like freaking out on weed really made it easy giving up after diagnosis.
Good luck. Honestly. If your sz look at your diet and your exercise. Don’t sit still and keep moving because your less of a target and I know it’s so hard giving up those habits but weed isn’t good for most sz…you’ll find the odd one who can tolerate it but for most its more symptoms and hurt.

The withdrawal is tolerable. A couple of sleepless nights in front of the T.V and paranoia. It takes a few weeks for your brain to go back to normal.
I used to do that too.
I would dab as soon as I woke up.
Then made a rule for myself; I would only dab after 6PM. This helped me cut back.
Hope this helps.
Cannabis is a ruddy funny drug. I know many with an MI - that swear by it cos they say it relieves there symptoms, but many also say how much it screws them up.
Its well known to cancel out any AP’s your taking - so obviously not recommended.
I think the arguement for and againest it - will carry on for many years to come, like it already has been.

I quit smoking weed ten years ago after smoking it since 2005. I tried to smoke it every day from 2005 until 2009. It was easy for me to quit but I do find I’m often quite bored without it but I shouldn’t smoke it anymore with my schizophrenia diagnosis. I don’t think it caused my schizophrenia but it sure wouldn’t help it.
I work a stress work from home job so I dab all day every time I get stressed… I can afford to but my budget is ■■■■■■■ tight

I always took my APs when I was smoking weed. That’s what they recommend.
Please please stop
You’re not in a section of the population that it can be solely recreational
I was a heavy drug user between ages 11 to 17 and it really ■■■■■■ me up
Years ago I’d smoke so much of it
After LSD I was hallucinating on weed and it was messed up
Last time I smoked it I felt like I was having a heart attack
The stuff that’s been around for a while now is very strong compared to what it was decades ago

Listen to @joker. All it does, is hit you in your head - and your wallet.

I was just sitting here pondering that over a couple of decades ago my hobby pretty much was cannabis.
Now I sit here feeling free.
I am no longer filling my life with the need and craving for cannabis.
It used to fill my every moment in such I ws planning my whole life around the drug.
When I could get high? What kind of cannabis I could get or grow etc
At the time, my whole life revolved around it in a way. Not that I could see it that way at the time or had insight into my ‘recreational’ hobby whatsoever.
I was just living my life numb, a few feet off the ground, not connected to myself and distant to life.
I was just spending my time escaping myself. I had a lot to escape mind you, but that was what I did.
I couldn’t even imagine not being stoned.
I wrapped it up in its harmlessness, its pleasure, its coolness, its clique. I identified as a stoner.
I was its prisoner the whole time in reality. I just didn’t know it. I was its slave and it was my master.
When you start to see it for what it is, your relationship can change.
I did EMDR on myself and kicked my addictions instead.
I am no longer its servant.
Do you think you could do that?
