I don't have schizophrenia but the last few times ive smoked weed ive had a strange dissociation with brain fog and feeling of being flat, is that psychosis symptoms or early warning signs of psychosis?
there is a financial incentive for psychiatrists to diagnose people with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, they can bill insurance companies about one thousand dollars per day to keep patients locked up in their dungeons even if the diagnosis is false and completely made up, they are trying to use medical cannabis as a pretext to keep innocent people locked up in psychiatric wards and misdiagnose them with bipolar disorder and schizophrenia and to forcibly medicate them and strip them of their civil rights, it is all about the profits.
sounds like more propaganda, the corporate prisons for profit are hurting since they can't put people in prison for smoking an herb, and it seems they have enlisted their friends and relatives to spread misinformation and false propaganda. cannabis is a medicinal plant and just as any other medicine it can have adverse side effects but cannabis medicinal value is undeniable, the reason there are some people who suffer from negative side effects is because some cannabis being sold can be mixed with other harmful drugs by street dope dealers and it is being distributed to young people. some street dope dealers are mixing cannabis with lsd and fentanyl and many other dangerous drugs. cannabis that has not been tampered with is beneficial and medicinal.
All the addicts think that because they don't feel the immidiate consequences, like a hangover from alcohol, that there are none. The decline of every civilization is due to marijuana and repetitive drug use
Weed triggered psychosis for me 5 times. It wasn't until this last time that I realized it was the weed that was causing it and not my adderall. Since then, I've quit everything for good! Weed ruined my life.
12 years ago I started smoking marijuana. After one year of smoking I was in full blown schizophrenic psychosis. Don't take the risk. Especially, ESPECIALLY, if your family is genetically pre disposed to mental disorders. I wouldn't recommend it for "normies" either.
My brother developed psychosis, was hospitalized three times and is now on drugs to control his mind. He also has developed ataxia for which he has an implant in his spine to help control his walking gait. His son who began using as a young teen is now a homeless schizophrenic on the streets. My brother used to be a very successful actuary and now is struggling financially. My nephew also was a very intelligent young man. Of course my brother refuses to accept that all this has anything to do with his addiction and I know most users will too. Many may get away with it but it’s like playing Russian roulette. If anyone seeing this will listen, please throw away the marijuana before you get addicted. It’s not worth the risk. I’m heartbroken about my brother and my nephew but I hope their story can help other young people. 😢
Another aspect to consider is the impact of psychiatric diagnosis and how it can shape our self-perception. When a psychiatrist convinces us that we fall under specific diagnostic categories, like schizophrenia, it can lead us to view ourselves in a non-nuanced way. Research shows that the psyche, particularly the subtle aspects of the human mind, requires professional understanding. Therefore, scaring people by asserting that something is absolutely harmless, or feeding into their denial, can be more damaging than the condition itself. This highlights the need for careful and responsible mental health practices.
From my perspective, cannabis sativa is a complex plant with psychoactive effects. I have personally experienced severe withdrawal symptoms like nightmares when I stopped using it suddenly. This shows the potential risks and how it can affect mental health. There's a big debate about whether it should be legal, completely illegal, or regulated. Some people talk about its medical benefits while others warn about its negative effects. It's important to approach its use carefully, being aware of the legal and health aspects in different places. Either legal or not, people will get their hands either way, so they get their information based on science and not scare tactics, what Richard Nixon has done he has over-exxagerated and there was definitely a political corruption in which people didn't get the message right by him breaking the stem of weed and people thinking it was made illegal for the wrong reasons, but not the reasons we thought we did, i assume you get what i mean.
Meanwhile opiates are being peddled by the US healthcare system 'legally'. All state sanctioned, sponsored by big pharma to get Americans addicted to opiates. Fentanyl is the real problem no one is talking about.
B.S I been using weed over 50 years for relaxer and when job required I would go weeks without smoking and never had issue and when home I was a heavy user
It is Not the use of marijuana the problem is the mental state of the users before that is the problem. When you turn your back on God your mental state declines no matter drugs or Not. AMEN.!

I use to smoke for many years and one day just quit. I do believe in shouldn't be illegal but it is a net negative to society as a whole.

Its bot reffer madness. More and more people, young adults, are getting mental illness. Don't be lazy potheads and look it up.

Those whose minds are steeped in cannabis are capable of quite extraordinary criminality.
Cannabis is a dangerous drug and shouldn't be legalised.

the same old, reefer madness propaganda.
Schizophrenia bullshit I would be a lunatic
People who have schizophrenia and use recreational marijuana should be sent to jail indefinitely
Clearly paid for by Big Timber and Plastic.
