Dude! That's quite the rambo ramble! Very interesting. :_) My take away from this story is don't stop. We need to be used to this drug.BTW, wrote that whole message after smoking 1/5th of the joint from last night.. Did wonders to get rid of my burn-out. Am eating Rice Krispies now and listening to Audioslave, feelsgoodman.jpeg
It can trigger it in people that are already predisposed to have it...^ I got to the part where you were googling marijuana triggered schizophrenia and cracked up laughing man lol
I do know this... No need for that PM man... Nothing personal man.. lolReally? If you researched it you'd see there's a six percent chance it can trigger it, but okay. Have you ever seen BBC Horizon's 'The Evil Weed'? It's actually based on science. How do you have 2K posts and not know this?
yeah i read that before it runs in my family but im luccky i dont have that watching my brother go thur that was enoughIt can trigger it in people that are already predisposed to have it...
It wont CAUSE schizophrenia, but it can bring it out in people that are susceptible.
No need to man I knew you were a sound guy from the way you were speaking, in the PM you used no real insults or anything like that and you just wanted to help people with the postSorry man, took it the wrong way. I apologize for cyber-attacking you but I was defensive, especially after dealing with the beast from the dating site. I am trying to share my experiences so maybe someone can take from it, someone in the same situation as me, ya know? And yeah, schizophrenia is a different beast altogether from bipolar, and interesting in it's own way. While I have amazing sensitivity and grey-area observation, they seem to have a perspective some of us could never get to.
The Evil Weed isn't so much about schizophrenia, it just deals with the main myths, that it causes it being one, about pot and then follows through on scientific experiments to prove it right or wrong. The only conclusion it makes at the end is that you just miss out on life when you smoke every day, let life pass you by. It's more progressive than anything else, worth a viewing for sure.
Well said! When they use words like COULD or MIGHT it usually means there is no evidence lolThe schizophrenia claim is the latest and most successful propaganda campaign yet. The War on Drugs may not be doing so well but the Propaganda War on Drugs is doing just fine. The fact that people are even debating this goes to show JUST how well it's working. First of all, there is absolutely no proof, NONE, that schizophrenia can be brought on or influenced by Cannabis usage. What the researchers did find out is that people with the early signs of the onset of schizophrenia are prone to self-medicate before diagnosis. Just like Alcoholics are self-medicating, prescription drugs abusers are self-medicating, over-eaters are self-medicating, so on and so forth ad infinitum. My point is, the abusers use self-medication to deal with the actual problem. Most of the time it exacerbates the problem but it isn't the main issue. The problem with this research is that it has been used for political rather than beneficial purposes. It was used purely as a political ploy to drive a wedge between the general populace and Cannabis advocates. And it's working.
Anyone can take statistics from a study and manipulate to fit any agenda. It's a common practice and it's usually politically motivated.
Jesus, if ever you could find a more grayer area I think you didWhat the researchers did find out is that people with the early signs of the onset of schizophrenia are prone to self-medicate before diagnosis.
