In general poppulation, the risk of developing schizophrenia is 1 percent and so if you are marijuana long term user, your risk will be about 3-5 percent chance. But if you got other risk factors like family history of schizophrenia, it could trigger the illness. Family history itself is risk factor e.g. if one of your parent is schizophrenia, your risk will be 12-15 % percent. There are some more risk data here.

Great info. I've noticed over my time enjoying buds that people who are pre-disposed to mental illness (genetically), generally flip out after long periods of puffing the magic dragon. It can happen after a little but generally it takes a while.

All joking aside, marijuana is safer than to tobacco and the effect, in my opinion, is better. Toke up!

Personally, I haven't smoked in a long while, I noticed overall I'm a lot less tense for a while when I have a few puffs.. If it calms me down but doesn't burn me out, I'm cool

"In his book Schizophrenia - The Sacred Symbol of Psychiatry, psychiatry professor Thomas S. Szasz, M.D., says "There is, in short, no such thing as schizophrenia" (Syracuse University Press, 1988, p. 191)."

This book was published in 1988. So long ago. There are lots more evidence that mental disorders are related to chemicals in the brain such as serotonin and dopamin.

Well - I've also been told that masturbating can cause blindness but I still have 20/20 vision and have been furiously masturbating for years.

Oh I guess there was this one time when the cum shot up over my stomach and into my eyes causing temporary blindness.

Was in reply to the other video claiming that marijuana helps children with ADD.
My video shows an alternative cure.
Or are you being sarcastic pretending you have ADD?! Sarcasm hard to tell on the Internet!

As a matter of fact, I treat psychosis. I don't have psychosis.

No, I think you have it

ryukenden · 05-15-2007, 02:04 PM

It is a kind of delusion you have and delusion means false fixed belief. Or you might have grandious delusion as you are absolutely convinced yourself. Delusion is one of the psychotic symptoms. So if you are so convinced about things, you may need to consult your doctor. Or if you tell me symptoms, I could possibly give you diagnosis.

By the way, can you think clearly in your mind? Is there any interference? Have you ever felt like your body or thoughts are controlled by some external forces?
