Schizophrenia

[Purple Banana]

What are your thoughts on it?

Syd Barrett?

Cannabis increasing the risk?

Non-hallucinogenic schizophrenia?

Heard any research on it?

What do you think it is?

Anyone have it?

Can you even spell it?

What's he saying...I don't know! Why don't you ask him? No...why don't you...skizo what? Okay, I asked him...know what??! Just wait and listen...jeeezus sometimes you annoy me!

I mean....ahh..what was that again?

I know it's a serious subject, I couldn't resist my schizo side (I can't spell it for certain, so I shortened it). I know it's not on nor should it be on the medical marijuana list of ailements in which cannabis gives relief. I think it can aggravate the condition. I choose not to believe that it can bring on these tendencies. What do you mean, you don't beleive in me? ! Don't listen to him...he's crazy.

Well I watched a flash video of schizo, and as I have been on this smoking binge for quite some while I feel like I have it. I know the cure is to stop or take a break but if I have the money I can't help but to spend it on weed. But I'm almost about broke so I'll be on a break in a min, if money doesn't come in my face again lol.

I have a friend who is schizophrenic. I watched him slowly deteriorate from a normal guy living at home, going to school to one crazy ass bastard who is homeless because his parents couldn't handle him anymore. Quite devastating to witness it over the years, and I do my best to help him out. He claims he hears 50 voices in his head at all times, and I could imagine that's quite torturous on the mind.

Already he's a big drinker and everytime he smokes, he starts talking to himself or narrating everyone's actions. Weed does him no good at all, makes him crazier and unstable. Ironically he never did a lot of drugs, so what caused it is unknown.

You are nowhere close to schizo orange. If you were schizo, you'd act like nothing is wrong with you, but to those around you, they'll see something is wrong.

I'm schizophrenic and I want to know if it's ok to smoke weed. I haven't smoked in over a year. I lost touch with the people I used to get it from. But I'd like to try it again. Will it make things worse? :jointsmile:

I have started to see and hear more shit that wasn't there ever sicne i started getting high. im 16. and read my post bout my burgly gurgly loungs!

The reason I posted this is because I also have schizophrenia... Not the whole "I hear voices and see people kind," that's really rare. I have disorganized schizophrenia, which is basically memory loss, apathy, loss of motivation, extremely abstract thoughts, and SOMETIMES I hear noises.

I can kind of feel a link with Syd, because (despite what many argue, most psychologists insist he was schizophrenic, mostly disorganized schizophrenic) I love abstract music, I play guitar, and paint a lot. I can kind of see how he was feeling in the beginning, because I have days were I am very content to simply stare at a wall. And I do act on these urges.

I find, despite what many experts claim, that smoking alleviates those days when I am completely apathetic, emotionless, and blank. It helps me to get moving.

But this disorder is a blessing in disguise, I sell many of my paintings at local coffee shops, and I make a great amount of money from it.

Just goes to show you the common stereotype of schizophrenia is not at all in tune with what the disorder really is.

My diagnosis changes a lot. I am currently diagnosed as bi-polar but at one point I was diagnosed with schizophrenia. So I guess it's possible I have it. But I think it should be fine to smoke. I think they diagnosed me as either a paranoid schizoid or with disorganized thoughts. Something like that. Anyways I don't think anything bad about it, but the people that have it should probally take the anti-psych meds, but they really make you dull and boring.
