Hi all.. i just wounderd what your opinions are on Mental/Psychotic Illness's caused by Cannabis?. Ive read much about schizophrenia but sometimes im tempted not to believe it or the experiment was only examined on a small range of people..... Could we become psychotic?
NO!
ignorance is blissQuote:

well its very unlikely tho
most serious non governmental( as they always want to bring cannabis down) have shown that it triggers mental illness to ppl with a history, what confused some ppl is that a lot of schizos use drugs, not only pot, because it is almost a side effect to this illness, taking drugs...but i can tell you i know a lot and a lot of my parent's friend who never quited smoking for all their life and they are very sane, more than most people do...but not to the eye of "normal" society...got the picture?
The green I got right now is so good it might make you a little crazy! lol.
makes me think more.
It does make you insane. Taking drugs in the first place is insane, and it makes you want to take more drugs, therefore making you more insane. It destroys you and the people around you. Dont you listen to the government at all?
If someone did not get it, this was a joke.
never heard of a drug induced psychosis?
Two words....bull shit.Quote:

Me, on the other hand, I am bi-polar, but I don't believe that is from MJ. My mom has depression, which she got from her mother as well, which I believe MJ is not responsible for my bi-polar, it just runs in the family. I'd take this over heart disease and cancer anyday.
Weed does not have the power to make you a schizo or something like that, but I think that it can unmask illnesses that you didnt notice before because of its nature as being a pyschoactive or mine-altering drug.
i love marijuana, but the fact that many people put into mental institutions in the past few years smoked ganja regualy has got to be than coinsidence. its just a potential risk, the mass majority of pot heads will not get a mental illness
pot does not induce psychosis, you fuck... it can in certain cases trigger schitzophrenic attacks if you have a history of schitzophrenia... but this is very rare...Quote:

i personally beleive that cannabis can cure mental illness, or atleast help to control it. it works for depression
Haven't you seen Reefer Madness? God, stay informed! Tell your children!
Marijuana kills.
Did it ever occur to you that maybe people with mental illness are more likely to smoke marijuana? :rolleyes:Quote:

no matter where i go this argument seems to be split two ways.
