The most tolerable, that it wont exacerbate your symptoms.

What where you hoping for in trying street drugs?
Itās best to try nothing and never get started.

I misspelled itā¦
I tried before, didnt liked it, i will never do drugs anymore, i will just drink once a week, alcohol is the only thing that Doesnt exacerbates my symptom.
Alcohol is ok, as long as you donāt give it any of your power, because all it will do is take.
I tried weed, it made me totally psychotic. Alcohol worked for me but be moderate, its so easy to become an alcoholicā¦at least it was for me!

I got clean in 1990. I donāt miss drugs at all. Once I stopped using drugs and drinking my life got much, much, better.

Molly, pure mdma. Enjoyed euphoria for 4hrs without hearing any voices
Very dangerous drug. I think it can cause paralyzes when overused as it messes with your serotonin levels.
I miss MDMA. I will be honestā¦ Back in my day we called it E or XTC. But it used to melt the wax build up like no otherā¦ it was the day after that I was near suicidal.
Now, Iām so glad Iām clean and sober. No more for me thanks, Iāve got too much at stake.

Iām thinking people who have schizophrenia and do drugs are lucky if they recover and get clean. Iām trying to set higher standards for my health, and that means no more drugs and being more careful. I wanted to try opiates for a long time because it clears my head and helps deal with the pain. But after I did that then everything became horrible. My friend died of an OD, these destructive people started tormenting me, and I was using drugs to escape it with the very person who started it all anyways.
It just seems like everyone around here or in general is abusing drugs. I want to get away from it, and itās like the more I notice the more pathetic it seems.
Should never have gone down this path in the first place. It started with drinking every day with friends, and then they got into pills and it was just pure insanity from there. I donāt want to be that person. And Iām not. I stopped doing drugs last year, but I still have been smoking pot.
The weed sometimes helps my mood. I mean everyoneās legalizing it and itās less taboo. I just get really high when I smoke so I canāt smoke a lot. I just need to cut back on the smoking because of the carcinogens. I donāt really consider weed a bad drugs, but when itās medicinal itās the best.
Who thinks I should quit smoking pot though? Is it really bad for someone with schizophrenia? Because I canāt tell. Sometimes it puts me in a really good mood, and sometimes it just makes me feel stupid. But I donāt drive on it, and I donāt smoke too much of it. I donāt like how it feels in combination with anything else.
Oh yeah, and it doesnāt make me hallucinate. It can sometimes make me paranoid but thatās only if I havenāt smoked for several weeks and I smoke a lot.
My psychiatrist knows I smoke pot and I think sheās against it, she said that it depresses you over time. Is that true though? The statistics are all over the place. My ears have been ringing lately, and I feel like I got so high that the whole town just knows when I light it up, and iām likeā¦
I just get majorly zoned out on it. For a period of time I was having severe amnesia and black outs, thatās when I first started smoking. What causes that? I donāt get that anymore. But it was like, literally, blacking out and forgetting everything i thought said or did. I would be gone, and back, and gone and back and gone and back. Like it messed with my memory.
StarryNight. Pot is illegal in most places and expensive. I just had to say that.
But I think whether to smoke pot or not with schizophrenia is an individual decision that should be based on your own experience with it. Some people claim they can smoke it without any ill effects. With other people it makes their symptoms worse. You need to take an honest look at the effect it has on you and not fool yourself. You have to weigh the āpositives vs negativesā and see if itās worth smoking.
I will say this. My last two years of high school i was a daily smoker. And it was almost always fun. I smoked it sporadically after high school.Then I got sick when I was 19. And after I got sick I tried smoking it and it made me feel REALLY bad. It really ramped up my psychosis. I HAD to stop. I just couldnāt handle it. I stopped smoking it when I was 19. I didnāt smoke it again until I was 22. I wonāt list my whole history with it but I will say that I smoked it in my late twenties, but I smoked it WAY after I should have stopped. It made me paranoid and miserable, yet I still smoked it. Always thinking ,āWell the next time will be betterā. I was trying to recapture that old feeling when it was fun. But I couldnāt. I had to learn the hard way that I needed to quit. But I actually quit ALL drugs AND alcohol when I was 29 years old in1990. And Iām so glad.

The mescaline or acid or whatever the ā ā ā ā I took years ago tripped me into SZ land. The stuff I took was so strong I tripped for 2 - 3 days. I dont think drugs are the solution for escape. If I wanted to run away from reality, I stop taking my meds - same effect. I need to head towards reality not cause more psychotic behavior through drugs.
I did my share of drugs when I was younger, I dont miss any of the chaos it caused me

Sorry if my opinion is not wanted but I thought Iād share my experience 
I smoked dope everyday for 10 years i dont have sz and i thought at the time it wasnāt a big deal I always felt good when I smoked and I was of false belief that it wasnāt an addictive drug. When I came to a point that I realised apart from feeling high It was doing more damage the good for me. I ended up losing a lot of weight I got down to 43 kgs Iām only 5 foot so its not overly thin for my size but still didnāt look as healthy as Iād have liked and that was due to needing to smoke to feel hungry and when I did it was more when it was wearing off that Iād feel hunger so my eating habits were way off it also become a need to smoke soon as I woke up just to feel normal and Iād get rather agitated untill I smoked and Iād have to smoke more and more over time just to get an effect. I quit for around 12 months then had the stupid idea to smoke a joint with a friend one night and I felt horrible it was nothing like I remembered from the first time there was no giggles there was no munchies instead I had racing heart beat I felt paranoid felt like I had to really remind myself to breath and that taking big long breaths still wasnāt giving me enough oxygen and I was extremely quiet the complete opposite to what I usually am, so my advice would be sz or not its not a safe drug at all anything you use thatās not for medical reasons to feel better is not a good choice as wether it is chemically addictive or not it can become a mental addiction that can begin to take over rather then just be of help thatās my piece and thanks for reading
The street drug that is the most tolerable is the street drug I never have to take again. Meth is a killer. And when you survive itās called schizophrenia.
Thanks for the advice 77Nick77. I had schizophrenia before I started smoking and I attribute that to the reversal in my symptoms. I feel like I steadily improved ever since i started smoking. I feel less anxious all the time, more confident, less paranoid etc. I also started a new medication, and Iām thinking Iāll probably stop smoking pot. Iām gonna stop drinking too though I havenāt been doing it a lot for the past two fridays I did get drunk with friends.
Have there been any positive results for TCH treatment of schizophrenia? Just out of curiosity. I donāt think Iām going to get on it, I just wanted to know.
Shortly after I quit crack, I got a part-time job. I worked there for the next three years. I also went back to school. I started taking the bus to 6 AA, CA, and NA meetings a week. And doing assorted social stuff. I also flew across the country a few times. And I flew to Vegas I would never have done those things while on drugs.
I only smoked pot once. I had oneor two hits shared with a circle of other āfriendsā. It made me hallucinate big timeā¦it may have been laced with something elseā¦but my friend didnāt hallucinate.
I hated the feeling of being out of control of myself. I went to the bathroom, looked at myself in the mirror and said, āmagicstar! you are so stupid. what are you doingā?
I never smoked pot again. ever. and never will. and I have never used any other type of drugs. except alcohol. but I am not an alcoholic. I drink maybe once a yr. if that.
