Do you think it can cause it or not? I personally I have seen too many cases of people getting messed up by it. I’m very antiweed.

I don’t believe it causes schizophrenia,
I think it can induce an episode in those who have a predisposition to it.
I smoke everyday and have never had a negative effect from it,
But we’re all different I guess.

If I ever picked it up again my life would be over within 6 months.

I used to smoke everyday and now smoke maybe once or twice a month. I have very little left and don’t plan on getting any more for a good while. I used to be able to function fairly well on weed. Now that I don’t smoke as often I end up getting really stoned off of a little bit. It doesn’t really exacerbate my symptoms. Only occasionally do I hear voices when I’m stoned.
It happens because I have a delusion about artificial intelligence more than anything. I noticed a vape pen didn’t really get my symptoms up. It helps me relax and sleep. I wouldn’t recommend it for those prone to symptoms but I have nothing against it either.

When I slid into psychosis I was still smoking but it was a terrible feeling. Wasn’t even buds as all I could handle was some grief. Haven’t had any since and it’s just something I’m not prepared to risk. I like my relative sanity.
Seems to me that some people can still tolerate it to an extent. Most folks it isn’t a good option when you have schizophrenia.

Exactly. People are going to smoke it if they want to because they are adults and it’s their decision. Many people like me warn people about it because it seems that many people admit that it does them harm but they still smoke it. That’s exactly how I used to smoke it during my crack addiction. I had my reasons, I guess I always kept smoking it hoping that the next time it would be magically better and fun. It never was. So this category of people I think need to get honest with themselves and need to face their usage for what it is and give it up. If you are smoking pot while being schizophrenic and you keep having bad experiences with it you have to realize nothing is going to change, it is not going to get better.

Believe it or not I only smoked marijuana once in college and I had a positive experience.
It didn’t trigger sz but mescaline sure did.
That stuff was a nightmare!
