I wrote this in another thread but I think it fits nicely for this subject
From my own experience pot used to exacerbate any negative feelings I had. Negative thoughts such as paranoid thoughts would be more easily believed without reasoning out. Schizophrenia can be very scary to some but fear is just an emotion brought on by either real or imagined events. It is a strong emotion and can be amplified by cannabis. Fear can get out of control and panic could set in. Then people blame cannabis as the cause but cannabis is like putting more oxygen on a fire for some. If someone kept poking you saying "play the game" over and over like in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest you could freak out like the guy in the movie or you could break the guys arm. People who get over schizophrenia have more choices in their behaviour. They learn to be strong in certain effective ways. They sometimes see the funny side of their ailment or they just stop taking shit from their brain. You are a lion. You control your world. You can do it now...

I'm interested in how our thoughts generate our feelings and how we respond to these things. I have used the mantra on many occasions to stop my mind from making judgements based on minimal evidence. I hope this helps others... Rating: 5
