if your already on the edge of insanity.... you shouldnt smoke weed because it will take you over the edge.
Marijuana can cause a dormant (eg, probably unknown) psychological disorder to expose itself. If you're going to use drugs, you need to get checked for such illnesses, or at least family history of mental illness.
Be safe, know thy self.
It can. Generally, if you're going to develop a mental illness, it will come on in your early adult years...18-24 or so. Family history, enviornment, and drug use all play a part into it. Like already said, it's a real good idea to checked out and know your history before you do any type of drug, including alcohol. If you have preexisting factors, drug use can expose and bring out mental illness.
myselfandi couldn't have said it better...know thy self!
Cannabis cannot soley create a mental health issue. Some idiot in sweeden said that it can cause it, but it was NEVER proved, and as far as im concernedm, NO it damn well cant
No, it can't. Though, if your family has a history of say, schizophrenia, then cannabis use could cause it to surfaceQuote:

You dont know you got it untill you start to hear voices. Then they tell you do to things, and you do them because your scared of the voice. It carries on and on and evtually it can cause you to seriously loose it and kill someone, and do things that'd you'd never ahve done before. Its a VERY bad thing,.
My grandma is schizophrenic, she has the paranoid type, which is the worst type. It is scary stuff when you meet people with it. Personally I'm not too worried about it, if I had it I most likely would have started to have symptoms by now. I only have a 5% chance of getting it since my grandma has it, anyone else who does not have a family history of it has a 1% chance.
Schizophrenia is NOT SPLIT PERSONALITIES.Quote:
