If only I hadn’t had a life that drove me towards it…
I was a heavy weed smoker between ages 11 and 18
The problem started after I took LSD then for some reason my brain became very psychoactive when I smoked weed after
No idea why but my theory is the LSD must have done something to my brain
Used to seek out the strongest weed around.
Perhaps it was just timing?
Doing so many drugs the age I was was just asking for trouble
Sometimes, we are just young and immature and do things like smoke a bunch of weed, while our brains are still developing. That’s what I did, at least. And I didn’t even think I had a predisposition to MI. Just recklessly smoked weed.
Nowadays, I partake every now and then. But I have much more insight, and I’m much more responsible. I’d say I’ve also matured and grown, so a little every now and then is okay, in my book (and my pdocs)
Couldn’t have said it any better.
I’m in your exact shoes.
Last time I smoked weed pretty much gave me a panic attack
It’s a shame. Wish I had started smoking it later as I really did like taking it
Was an alternative to alcohol for me. Used to drink a fair bit but much preferred the high weed gave me
this statement cannabis is a known risk factor in psychosis that can progress to schizophrenia shows that the thinking is unclear i would say cannabis is a risk factor in schizophrenia that can progress to psychosis.
schizophrenia is the preexisting condition that can be mild and periodically episodic without cannabis
Something that confuses me is there isn’t a increase in the amount of cases pots legal in Canada yet not much people have schizophrenia
It’s just something I’ve noticed there are still a 1 in 100 people getting it or 1% of the population
based on the study in the article its because only a low percentage of people have the diminishing synaptic connections that will progress to psychosis and schizophrenia
I was kinda stupid with cannabis, I used it even though I got psychosis-like paranoia on it. Probably because the good part made it worth it, but in hindsight it wasn’t.
Quit the weed ages ago. But year i did dabble in a bit of acid when i was young as well. I as well reckon it had something to do with my health now.
tanks @everhopeful I posted it on facebook
I got schizophrenia from cannabis. I may have tried Salvia too back then, but don’t know or remember.
I have long term memory problems.
I think it was high potency pot back then.
I don’t regret it. I was 22 or 23 years old and was destined for schizophrenia.
I have a genetic predisposition.
One of my delusions is I’ve reincarnated in a time loop for eternity (infinity) with schizophrenia.
I feel like I’ve had thousands, millions, or billions of past lives living in a computer simulation that is deterministic.
I think I first tried pot to ‘fit in’ and I struggled in my classes and also the ‘environment’ I was living at was very liberal.
I found out later I have a cousin that is probably schizophrenic. Not sure though.
I tried salvia and that’s what messed me up. That stuff is evil
Yeah that marijuana THC stuff definitely made me more psychotic and delusional increase my symptoms. Even one puff would do it for me I could tell after just one puff I was even more psychotic.
I haven’t found the link to the actual published study in this article.
Yes. Salvia sucks.
Man that stuff is what caused my mental problems I think.
i think the problem with cannabis is they bread it over a very long time to have less and less cbd and more thc. it def made me worse when i used it without cbd. but if i take a very very high dose of cbd with it, it works like i think its supposed to. i take 300mg cbd everyday.
I smoked weed pretty much daily from 12 years old until like 19 or 20. It used to be okay but these days it reacts real bad with me. Get so paranoid and scared! Although a random nsfw aspect is it makes me crazy horny. Sorry if tmi. Another hectic thing that seems weird is lsd has never once effected me ever. Ive tried it like at least a dozen times. Never anything. I had three times as much as my mates once and they were all trippin balls and i was sober as can be. I think it might be because i have sza or maybe the meds? Anyway lol haha. Sorry if this is not allowed on here. Im feelin super chatty today but got no friends.
