I think it makes more sense to say that LSD and other chemical/man-made drugs have a better chance of TRIGGERING (not causing) a mental illness such a schizophrenia vs. marijuana, shrooms and other au natural drugs.

I don't think pot has an effect like that on the brain.

Nothing can cause schizophrenia, it's something that's always in your head, you can have something trigger it (i.e something tramuatizing) but thats it

I think that it does, but you just have to get a hold on it. I felt like i was going insane recently. EVERY time that i smoked i would get super paranoid and weird and nervous and shit. but i think i just needed to find a direction in life, i needed a personality and a persona.

I dont think i picked the right one yet though but im going to give this one a try, basically im going to stand up for myself and what i think is right and im not going to care about myself at all (well im still gonna shower and try and look good for the ladies) but i like to fight, i like to get revenge on people who have fucked me over and i like to be upfront with my opinions, so from now on thats what ive been doing.

Hallucinagens were first used to treat mental illness. Also, I believe pot can do wonders for some ones sick mind. Just look at me..i havent had access to drugs and so im freakin insane now. :dance:

thats pretty much what i was gonna say :thumbsup:
theres no proof that pot triggers it cuz who's to say it was the pot that triggered it in the first place, a person might've went schizo wether they smoked the shit or not :stoned:

i think pot just activates parts of the brain that usually arent that active and people think they're crazy and because of the subjective/objective alleviatory effect (placebo) they actually cause themselves to go insane.

I believe first that they should actually define schizophrenia/psychosis/delusions, but then theres fuk all against cannabis if that happens, so lets ascribe this plant to cause a disease that has no specific symptoms, no real cause, and is so loosely defined that not knowing the day of the week, or being slightly paranoid is a psychotic symptom, and on top of all that only about 65% of psychiatrists (gr8 breed of folk they are) actually agree on the same diagnosis. Sounds like propoganda to me reminiscent of the use of satanic herbs back in old time (hallucinogens and the like being deemed as satanic/demonic by the catholic church) But back then the catholic church was all knowing, now we ascribe our wealth of knowledge to docs and scientists, so now they're not possessed by the devil anymore (cuz thats jus silly, aint it?). They're schizophrenic (thats much better), the indefineable ailment for the mind, but it does sound awful technical, shucks, I better jus believe them doctor folk.
