How can anybody promote mental illness? Is it ignorance or pure indifference that make people willingly ingest a plant that induces madness?
Fun fact: the CB1 receptor that is responsible for the feeling of being high also emulates schizophrenia.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4034083/ >Cannabinoid intoxication can provoke toxic psychoses or symptoms similar to the positive symptoms of schizophrenia >cannabis seems to provoke an amotivational syndrome similar to the negative symptoms of schizophrenia >In humans, mounting evidence shows that CB1 receptor densities are altered in schizophrenia
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3138655/ >Our finding of increased CB1R binding in paranoid SCZ could reflect a greater involvement of the endocannabinoid system in the DLPFC in this subtype of patients with SCZ as may be suggested by their more marked positive thought disorders and delusional symptoms.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4104335/ >We provide evidence that regular cannabis use is associated with gray matter volume reduction in the medial temporal cortex, temporal pole, parahippocampal gyrus, insula, and orbitofrontal cortex; these regions are rich in cannabinoid CB1 receptors and functionally associated with motivational, emotional, and affective processing.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2424288/ >The strongest evidence that cannabis use is a contributory cause of schizophrenia comes from longitudinal studies of large representative samples of the population who have been followed over time to see if cannabis users are at higher risk of developing schizophrenia. >15-year prospective investigation of cannabis use and schizophrenia in 50,465 Swedish conscripts. The study found that those who had tried cannabis by age 18 were 2.4 times more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia than those who had not 16 and the risk of this diagnosis increased with the frequency of cannabis use. >27-year follow-up of the Swedish cohort that also found a dose-response relationship between frequency of cannabis use at baseline and risk of schizophrenia during the follow-up. The relationship between cannabis use and schizophrenia persisted when the authors statistically controlled for the effects of other drug use and other potential confounding factors, including a history of psychiatric symptoms at baseline. >supported in a three-year longitudinal study of the relationship between self-reported cannabis use and psychosis in a community sample of 4,848 people in the Netherlands >These findings have been replicated in one German and two New Zealand cohort studies.
Smoked some the other day and it was so strong I thought I was having a seizure or something, like could barely put one foot in front of the other. Good times.

>Weed brings people to Yas Forums. OP is right. Weed is dangerous. It's a gateway drug.

%99 of drugs should be legal for private research, ingestion, and sale. Limiting their abuse and educating the population should be extensively funded.
AY YO, WHERE DAT WEED AT MY MAIN SHIPTAR, IT HAS BEEN A DRY MONTH UP IN THIS BITCH

The truth is that marijuana is definitely bad for you, but it’s not as bad or not much worse than alcohol or tobacco. If marijuana killed as many people in car accidents, violent crime, and health damage, it would never have come close to legalization. If marijuana is illegal then alcohol definitely should be, too.

I'm in the middle of Serbia. I just have a dynamic IP and the Yas Forums map tracker puts me in this stolen land.

Dispensaries go unchecked and launder illegal dude weed from Mexico. Who is behind this cash only business that transports cash across state lines unchecked? Key Note Speakers at conventions include; Al Sharpton; Owes millions in back taxes Vicente Fox; In 2018, Fox joined the High Times board of directors. Whoopi Goldberg; Founds medical marijuana company for women. etc. hmmmmmmmm
I sure as fuck feel crazy when i smoke weed at home when I'm not doing anything... I prefer to be stoned and working on something or being stoned at work. I'm more in the "zone". My job is intensely physical so it may be a factor in how I feel while being high as well.

I smoked weed for five years pretty much non stop and this year i graduated to crack. it's been a week without smoking it so I've started having night sweats and crack dreams. I'm not saying weed was a gateway drug but I probably would never have been talked into smoking the rocks if i wasn't on the good good green first. crack isn't even that "hard" desu I don't understand the stigma. the only thing bad about it is that when you're smoking it you will lose all sense of responsibility and will inevitably end up blowing like 300 quid on more and more rocks till you just run out of money. I think i'll set myself a challenge to not do drugs or drinks till at least summer but i don't know how i would reward myself without drugs or at least some kind of congratulations from my family or friends (who don't even know I smoke crack anyway).
Honestly I've tried K, E, C, MJ, pretty much every recreational drug apart from heroin and in my experience the most destructive and mind melting is long term weed use. I ended up in a mental hospital (though I suspect this was more to do with my radical right wing views than any real psychosis...
Thank god you made this post. These schizos need some prescription meds from a government approved doctor. Smoking weed is for alt-right nazi scum. It's pretty hateful to be smoking that stuff when you could just as easily get tobacco and alcohol and prescription meds.

Weed gives me the stamina to fuck military wives while their husbands die for ZOG
I was put on olanzapine for about a year and i just recently read that it produced a significant reduction in brain volume when administered for a similar period of time in monkeys. I'm worried the antipsychotics the NHS pretty much forced me to take did more damage than all the weed i smoke. ironic isn't it
Jacob Kelly
Implying what? Help my weed addled brain understand please!

i personally experienced deep level psychosis and it's actually pretty exhilarating. you pretty much get mental powers and can read like ten times the emotional weight in someone's facial expressions. it gets to the point where you can basically read people's minds and it understandably freaks people out.

Caffeine good or bad?
Luke Kelly
Me too user. Just think about how nasty crack can taste. Its easy to never want to do it again when you associate crack with something negative for a change.
Julian Watson
Never take “anti” depressants, never take “anti” psychotics. THE ELF WAVES BRO.
Ayden Wright
now tell me op, why do you repost it so fucking much
search this on 4plebs archive, he reposts the same shit over and over and over and over and over and over again for more than year
i wonder why
Zachary Sanders
I'm on aripiprazole at the moment and it really has very little noticeable effects. but yeah olanzapine makes you feel retarded. it was like experiencing what it must be like to have a sub 100 IQ when you're usually at ~140. would absolutely not recommend.
I always cook it myself and the charlie over here is pretty stunning. never had a bad tasting hit. I kind like that gasoline taste anyway. maybe that's a bad thing ahah
Ethan Hernandez
I quit weed and booze awhile ago, and this is the question I’m not unironically wrestling with. Sugar as well.
Oh man, when i took anti-depressants briefly years ago i basically lost all creative drive. As an artist, this made my depression get a FUCKTON worse. Now i just live with my depression and use it as fuel to git gud at my hobbies.
