leafing said: i stopped smoking like 8 years ago cause of psychosis
i heard from a close doctor friend of mine that 1 out of 10 people experience psychosis from weed
Temporary or long term/permanent?
While weed may cause a psychosis (there is evidence that states THC by itself can cause it, both short and long term), CBD along with nearly every other compound found in cannabis flowers counter psychosis and the negative effects of marijuana. If you can't get weed from someone/some place that lists the tested cannabinoid profiles of your strain then I would recommend you pick up some CBD extract to use with your marijuana.
CBD is a mild yet extremely effective antianxiolytic and has been proven to treat mental illnesses like schizophrenia

I have always said this, but weed is by far the worst drug for the mentally ill. I believe it brings out schizophrenia and is the root cause of anxiety disorders and other mental issues.

I have smoked weed for thirty years and I still enjoy it a great deal. That being said, it is not as it was in my teens, man getting high was epic in those days.
These days I rarely carry or smoke during the day, but I do burn pretty much every evening. I smoke out from time to time but more typically if I am smoking weed I am home chilling with my woman. And cat.
The good news is that after smoking daily for three decades I still have my full faculties and a solid career as a senior network engineer. I have to laugh at the anti-weed crew here, who seem to have decided that all users are lazy stoners who only smoke herb, talk about smoking herb etc. Some might be but there are many productive, intelligent people who consume MJ regularly.

Weed definitely isn't good for anyone with a mental illness but there are much worse drugs to do to exasperate a current condition.
Getting high is all about who you're with and what you are doing. Someone mentioned it is an 'enhancer' and I absolutely agree with that.
As I get older, I do have more anxiety when I smoke but I don't smoke nearly as much as I did in my younger days. I have too much shit I need to get done during the day.

1: weed is always better taken with something else
2: weed shouldn't be smoked into high amounts unless you're on something else
overall: weed isn't as effective as other drugs for getting high. it's mimics the effects of a narcotic in high doses, so thus lower doses are preferable in most cases to me. meaning it's just not a very meaningful drug in the long term, though it's effects can be strong on one's mindset. it's basically like a cigarette or a drink after awhile. other psychedelic drugs are simply better.

Weed is a pretty meaningful experience to me. It brings me deep insight and allows me to look at things objectively.
If sobriety was walking and drugs were a means of transportation, weed is like, a rickshaw.

Idk man and the medicinal benefits are so overblown. Hate to be a one note pony but kratom has way more medicinal benefits for me.

With kratom though you have to dose and wait...and even then the effects are rather timid. Granted kratom does wonders for my motivation and anxiety that weed has never done.
But theres something just so simple and easy about taking a few hits to help my sleep, ease my pain or nausea. Kratom can't even top that.
They are very different drugs used for very different purposes.

well, i did say it was a strong effect on one's mindset, and that it's effects are only not meaningful in the long term. it ends up wearing a little thin to me, and not really worth the expenditure half the time.

Not really. Cannabis has been shown to treat/help treat over 160 diseases and ailments

I used krat a couple times a week for a few months and while I did find I enjoyed myself and was relieved of pains, I found myself being more absorbed on being high. When I just smoke weed I just feel nice and do stuff. Krat feels like an event sort of in the same way when I trip, you know? Though I suppose others who've never been or aren't a chronic, would likely feel the same about weed. When I'm kratted I just wanna close my eyes and think about how good I feel, when I'm weeded I do stuff.

sometimes the subtler the effect the more pronounced it's effect. Kratom is good for that. plus it's alot less expensive than weed, and usually doesn't over power.
