Eh it'll probably be fine if you just do it once. Don't smoke something too strong and you'll probably enjoy yourself.

Smoke a very small amount. It can take a little bit to kick in at first, so if you smoke more because you think it hasn't affected you yet you can definitely set yourself up for a panick attack.

If schizophrenia is in the family absolutely never try psychedelics like LSD or Shrooms. You can fuck yourself up for life.

That art is so beautiful

I have schizophrenia in the family and I smoke weed constantly and have taken 200ug of lsd with no issue, at least so far. Is the worry that a bad trip triggers your latent schizophrenia or will psychedelics actually cause you to develop it?

Weed is easy.
Smoke a very modest amount. Be somewhere safe and mellow. Don't need to do anything or be anywhere or interact with anyone. Youll be good.

It can trigger it. We don't really understand much about schizophrenia but we know there's a strong genetic factor so generally if it runs in the family it's safer to stay away from mind altering substances

Don't do it. Don't fuck with any drugs since you have a family history of schizophrenia. Sorry man it sucks but that's how it is

It's not instantaneous or anything. If you're strong willed then yeah try it but be aware that you're more likely to have the "panic attack oh god I'm dying and broke myself forever" response than a chill response. When I say this I mean actually you think you're dying. You'll survive though and if you just do nothing and let yourself internally freak out the worst that happens is an hour passes and you're a little more calm.

You'll probably try it and as soon as you feel it you're gonna think that you've triggered a psychosis and you've forever broken your brain. But you haven't.

Drinking is nice.
I wanted to try weed because alot of my friends say its fun.
Are there other drugs that would be "safer" for someone with my shit genes?

I have a friend whos got a prescription for percs. And he offered me, should i?
I also have a drug test in two weeks to a month

Do. Not. Try. It.

There is a big change that you’ll fuck up your life

This thread is full of some of the most autistic replies I've ever seen. Weed is not a poison and it definitely isn't Heroin. You aren't making a permanent life-changing decision if you try some weed in college or after an existential crisis. Stop being such drama queens.

OP, weed is fine. Just as long as you don't let it overrun your life. It can make you slothful and unfocused, and it can even keep you that way if you decide to be one of those people who smokes all the time.

What these fools have forgotten is that sometimes people want or need to be slothful and unfocused. We don't work ALL THE TIME. Some people don't know how to relax properly, or need a little help relaxing because they're shy, or self-concious, or just stressed about a ton of stuff. Weed helps with these things.

Go ahead and give it a shot, OP. Just try it on a weekend or something and set aside a couple hours to do a fat lot of nothing other than maybe play vidya or surf the web. You'll be just fucking fine.

this, this board seems like christian Reddit or something
it's just fucking weed...

I am a bonified Christian who doesn't think there is anything wrong with weed.

How old are you? If above 23 or so I say go for it

You two are retards with no medical knowledge and you've ignored the most important part of the OP.

cool, i honestly didn't find a better word, maybe outdated conservatives?
as if you have medical knowledge lol
he'll be fine as long as he doesn't smoke a blunt to himself in one sitting

You mean the part where HIS UNCLE has Schitzophrenia? You know, that person who is NOT the OP? How stupid are you?

The first and only time I smoked I was plauged by fear and felt like I was going insane.
I thought my friends were trying to kill me I drove home blazed I'll never do this again.

Which means it runs in his family retard, either through his paternal or maternal line. Psycotic substances can trigger things like schizophrenia in someone who clearly has a genetic predisposition like OP. Think Russian roulette each time he would potentially smoke pot

You're more likely to develop psychosis from traumatic life experiences.

I am probably not going to smoke weed. Is there some kind of other drug that will be less harmful for someone like me?
Are percs nice?

Well, I would want to know that I was suffering from schizophrenia sooner then later and get treatment for it, so yes, try it.

The part that makes you retarded is that OP would naturally develop schizophrenia either way IF he has the dormant mental illness. (Weed doesn’t give you schizophrenia, it can cause it to surface earlier. That’s not such a bad thing because then you can get it diagnosed, treated and adjust life accordingly vs just being a time bomb waiting to go off in your late 20’s).

Unless you want to end up like Syd Barret, DO NOT FUCKING DO IT.

VERY VERY STUPID IDEA.

Its likely you will worry about the genetic factors when the paranoia kicks in. Underlying psychological issues usually reach the surface at around 19. If you're much older than that you should be fine. That said, I'm a stoner not a doctor, and personally, weed has caused me problems.
My problem is that I had it down as a wonder drug which couldn't do you harm and didn't realise the downsides until to late. I also started using it to escape from a reality I didn't like. That said, weed is very fun, and provided it isn't abused, it can be a powerful tool for personal growth, and for enjoyment.


Have you drawn any conclusions from this thread OP? Why is it that you want to try it in the first place?

try uppers like coke or adderall and downers like alcohol first to get a sense of how you are under the influence of drugs without heavy psychedelic effects. then maybe try a light dose of dph (although this is dangerous because it's been shown to increase the changes of alzheimers later in life), or a veeeery light dose of weed.

Bear in mind that the majority of people in this thread will be drug users who, as a group, tend to underexagerate the negative effects of drug taking (me included)
