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.
Who gives a shit. Alcohol is worse. Saged & Bluepilled. If you actually give a shit about health, ban alcohol. Because that works.

Weed unironically ruined my life.
I mean, I was messed up at 20. But smoking erry day to cope until 30 fucked my mind for good. Went psychotic and stopped, but the damage is done.
I'm literally going to kill myself. It's all over. What a bad choice.

LOL at this brainlet trying to control people's decisions and not learning from past black market efforts. Read a history book faggot.

Weed made me hear voices for a span of an hour. They screamed at me to repent CONSTANTLY non stop. I just sat there frozen in fear as the guy who egged me on to take a hit of the bong and “FINISH IT!!” and said “u just need to smoke more bro, smoke thru it”.
Daily reminder (as I will post whenever this thread comes up and I see it): >You should not support the government's right to restrict eugenics programs (alcohol, marihuana, cigarettes, heroin, abortions, video games, mass media, gmo food, etc). You should be strong enough to avoid their sinister influence in your life without Big Brother telling you what to do. >You should not support the government's right to restrict your access to whatever the fuck you want to access -- it sets terrible precedent. >The war on drugs is an astronomical failure that is used by the (((POLICE STATE))) to raise and launder illegitimate funds. Marihuana was criminalized in the western world on the order of the (((ROCKEFELLERS))). You're unironically shilling for the fucking Rockefellers whenever you post this, so I hope that you're being paid. Don't smoke, and don't restrict anyone's rights to perceive of this magnificent dimension under the influence of whatever substance they want. Drug abuse is a self-correcting problem. Let it correct itself.

>his brain is feeble and weak and exposure to a mild psychedelic substance is enough to make him hear a chorus of screaming voices >"fucking stupid stoners lmao" goddamn dude it's only 11 in the morning and already i've found the most pathetic post i'll find all day, thanks
Georgia has weed legalized btw. The country, not the state.

Schizophrenia is acutally means you are smarter. Look it up, the brains of schizos exhibit the same structures as those of geniuses. Why do you think Johnathan Nash was so smart? That's why I fought tooth and nail to get off the antipsychotics the courts ordered me to take. Ive been unmedicated maybe 3 months now and I'm just starting to get my intelligence back.

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3168083/ >Entomophagy and Coprophagy in Undifferentiated Schizophrenia >A 19-year-old male South Indian patient was brought by his father for urgent psychiatric consultation. Upon assessment, the patient was from a rural setting, educated up to 12th grade in school and was involved in agricultural labor. There was more than one year of insidious onset of symptoms characterized by hallucinatory behavior of talking and laughing to self when alone, disturbed sleep, social withdrawal, and poor occupational functioning. The patient was observed to have been eating his own feces immediately after defecation inside his living room, catching live spiders, moths, frogs, earthworms, crabs and eating all of them without any preparation. In addition, he had ingested feces of goat, cow, dog and the whole of cactus plants. >The patient would explain that he was not any ordinary human being but special and hence eating these unusual matters will not affect his health. The patient was not attending to any of his daily activities such as bathing, clothing or toileting well. The patient had expressed delusional beliefs of being followed by someone unknown and that he was not safe even while at home.
I always wanted to travel there and now I definitely will at some point. It's mostly safe except near the borders right?

>he thinks that everyone who smokes weed is a pot head Lol, smoking half a bowl a day is very good for pain and helps concentration You’ve never smoked in your life
I smoke at max an ounce a year One ounce is 28 grams There are 365 days a year, 28/365=.07 grams a day it’s all about moderation, and since I started (at age 21) I’ve noticed that I’ve slept better, had less soreness after harder workouts, higher focus, and better production in work, it has literally saved me

Imagine abstaining from drugs completely while knowing in the back of your head that your IQ will never be above 95. Pretty sad desu
