YOU'VE experienced a nightmare because you had a bad trip, it becomes very easy for the mind to disturb itself when under bad external influences. you have to be in a good head space and a good environmental space in order to keep yourself under control, cannabis induced "psychosis" is a slippery slope because its symptoms are similar to a panic attack and if you've ever had a panic attack then you know that when your already in a panicked state its easy to belief anything and even more easier under the influence however it doesn't mean anything is actually happening. Its important to understand that while yes weed is a psychoactive drug it doesn't mean the drug itself is the cause of a "psychotic" episode and the reason I put that word in quotations is because it is temporary and rarely ever has any long term effects so when the weed consumption stops so does the paranoia. Weed isn't for everyone and that's alright, but don't think that what you've experienced applies to everyone else. If you cant handle it, don't take it.
I have twelve friends this has happened to and none of them recovered. Cannabis (hasch) caused chronic psychosis and these young people had their lives destroyed. Nothing makes me angrier when users insists its "good for you".
I used to work with a middle-aged man who spent 18 years of his life in a mental hospital, the first two years in the forensic unit, all due entirely to pot. When I started working with him he still suffered from catatonic schizophrenia and “coke bugs”. Yes, coke bugs from pot, not coke. His prognosis for any further improvement is very poor.
I have a brother and nephew who were both destroyed by chronic use of pot. My brother’s psychotic and on drugs to control his mind and my nephew is a homeless schizophrenic on the streets. My brother also developed ataxia and can barely walk. It hurts so much to see him knowing how intelligent, successful and strong he used to be. And I never see my nephew. The worst thing is that my brother still won’t accept that the marijuana did all this. I only hope that someone reading this will take the warning that using marijuana is playing Russian roulette and stop.
i had psychosis from pot when i was 15/16. idk why people just dont stop or take a break seriously. as soon as i noticed the signs that i was going psychotic i just stopped smoking and it went away. when i smoke now i dont feel psychotic/schizo or anything i just feel high. its all about moderation. also its not the drug its the person
I had a dear friend was a regular pot smoker and diagnosed with schizophrenia. She had schizophrenia on her family line. Once she stopped smoking, it went away.
I was smoking cannabis ( NO other drugs ever ) since 2015 - 2022 July ~ 8 Years I am currently 26 years old. I had my first psychosis episode on 20th. July 2022 .... I started having smell hallucinations followed by visual hallucinations. I saw blood all over the floor and then went to my neighbours house and i dont remember what i Spoke... I saw my own body and im standing somewhere else then my family took me to hospital because for two days i didnt drink , eat... when i was taken to hospital on July 22 i have little collection of what happened but i was having auditory hallucinations. I was feeling im my deceased grandmother when they were taking me to the hospital then i thought im a crow then cow... it was SCARRYYYY !!! My memory finally came back around July 28th,2022... what happened for a week I do not remember... I was given Haloperidol initially some injections then later i was kept on Risperidone from August 22' - November... Now currently I have been given Zolpidiem ( for sleep ) and Escitalopram ( anti- depressent ) ... Still not sure if cannabis caused it or my depression. I had family induced sexual trauma at the age of 18 ( 2014 ) where the addiction begin which developed fear of being watched as well and uncomfortable in my own body.. Cannabis + Depression + fear = LETHAL combination.
I hope you feel better. During my CIP episode, I had tactile and visual hallucinations. I saw insects every time I closed my eyes and it later developed into me feeling them. However I was on seroquel and a SNRI at the time of the episode so I do not currently know if they are somewhat responsible for the development of the condition that I conquered. I beat CIP after abstinence from cannabis. I have gone back to recreational weed for almost a whole year. however I limit my exposure to it. and I do not take any other pills that have an effect on dopamine reuptake. And I have yet to experience another break from reality. It could also be important to note in my individual case, it was my first time ever smoking weed. And I didn’t smoke it but I vaped a concentration of it. A 90% plug and play cart. It was stupid and foolish of me to go from completely sober, never trying any “drug” in my life, to downing 90% concentration of THC daily for a month straight. I am also concerned at studies that claim that people who have developed CIP before have a 50% chance according to a Danish study that followed 6,700 people, of later developing schizophrenia. And I know that further exposure to cannabis like I’ve been doing only increase my chances. This video is also further alarming to me as it shows that 75% of people carry and increased risk of psychosis when exposed to cannabis. You’ll be in my prayers and I truly hope that you and me never have to experience the hell of another psychosis break. 🙏🙏
Everything you said happened to me yes ,absolutely cannabis should be illegal to depressed people actually.From experience it helps for few weeks but it can become lethal because of psychosis or schizophrenia.One might think cannabis is helpful for depression but in my case only extended the depression itself.It is like the depths of ocean of depression on canabiss.Im off meds happy ,smoked marijuana in 4 yrs maybe 4 times.It simply is not the same anymore and having a risk of being hospitiliezed and on meds is just not worth it.I personally prefer to be high on life and there is no drug that can give internal strengths and high like fitness,swimming,hiking,gymnastics,etc.All best to you❤
Do you think its depends on the type of cannabis used for example the cannabis pens vs the plant vs the Dab? I wonder because cannabis isn't cannabis anymore with all the extra chemicals being mixed into the cannabis.
I experienced twice in my life substance withdrawal psychosis from marijuana. Both episodes drastically changed my life. I my grandfather was a schizophrenic and I was eventually diagnosed from schizophrenic to schizoaffective.. long story short I asked god to help me I didn’t know why I asked but eventually I got totally sober and my paranoid delusional thoughts have evaporated for the most part. To anyone struggling with addiction or mental ilness: you are worthy of having a good life I’m living proof that you can.. 4 years and counting.. 🙏❤️
@@captainfox6212 keep praying for him and I will too.. I had a lot of people praying for me and today I know those prayers are what brought me out of the abyss of darkness.. sending my prayers your way to your son 🙏❤️
I experienced cannabis induced psychotic hospitalization as a teen, If the speaker had experienced this, he would likely not support the liberal legalization of any form of cannabis at any age. It is truly awful.
If people are informed they should be able to make the choice. Also I think psychosis is more prevalent if cannabis is abused, and that’s the individuals lack of control at fault
it's almost as if you shouldn't use intoxicants as a teen, something that could be reinforced by regulation and put under an age limit if cannabis was legalized.
You just had a bad trip, understand the mind is an easy thing to get lost in and being panicked in an intoxicated state is scary but never permanent. Weed isn't a drug that can induce a psychotic break, Its always temporary maybe dont smoke so much next time and/or weed isnt for everyone so if you cant handle it dont take it
@@owenmacleod8681That's a ridiculous notion. Anyone can smoke weed and end up with psychosis. It's not just caused by wreckless use. No one knows if it's going to trigger or cause long-term damage. You can smoke once and have it trigger psychosis. It's disgusting to blame people for doing something that you do, just because they have real horrible effects.
Interested in watching this! I have had some pretty scary times ingesting too much THC. With it being legalized I'm interested in experimenting a bit, but I'm definitely concerned about the potential side effects. It would be a lot less harsh than drinking a 6 pack every night, but mentally it could take a real toll.
THANK YOU!!!! I STARTED AT 12 AND IM NOW 47. AND HAD PANIC ATTACKS AFTER SMOKING RECENTLY. WAS TRYING TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF TO THC WITH NOT SO DESIREABLE RESULTS. IM HANGUNG UP MY BONG
that's what smoking too much weed does..it CAN make you have a panic attack but its ONLY a panic attack. ground yourself and understand its part of the high and keep in mind weeds not for everyone so if you cant handle it don't take it but don't think that what happened to you is what happens to everyone else.
The rate of recreational cannabis use in Canada now is concerning given this information, widespread mental illness. It is already a problem amongst Canadian young adults
I want to preface my comment by saying that I’m a proponent for weed and think it should be legalized federally. With that said, it’s very disingenuous of some of you to dismiss the very real and present side effects that are associated with marijuana use. I was an every day smoker from ages 16-18 until I joined the military and had to stop. When I got discharged from the military (medical reason in basic training), I attempted to go back to smoking a year later but I noticed that I was increasingly paranoid and would become somewhat manic and start crying incessantly because I felt so down and like I was a loser. I felt ashamed of myself and like I was dirty and a failure. These feelings had nothing to do with being discharged btw, I was more than content with that. However, every time I would try to smoke (very cheap, not heavily potent weed), I would get these feelings and go into the crying spells. I would become so incredibly paranoid and felt like everyone knew I was high and that I was being so loud even though I had my TV turned down to where I could barely hear it. I lived in my own apartment over 3 hours away from my mother but I still felt like she knew I was high and she was going to bust through my door at any moment to scorn me. So I stopped smoking for almost another year. I got a job as a corrections officer and took pride in that so I completely stopped smoking for the 9 months I worked there. Then I left that job and one night my roommate asked me if I wanted to smoke with him and I so I did. He had some extremely strong weed that he paid a good amount for and it had been almost a year since I had smoked. When we got done smoking, we went back inside and I sat on the couch and could feel my heart beating in my throat and felt like the walls of the living were closing in and like I had a 600lb man sitting on my chest. I felt trapped, couldn’t breathe, and began to spiral into a full blown panic attack. I felt like I couldn’t talk, I kept hearing this strange voice in my head and I just kept wanting to scream. Time was stuck in a repeating loop and I couldn’t escape. I’d stand up to try to get out of the living room and then immediately forget what I was doing and then sat back down. I repeated this for what felt like hours while just screaming “Help!”. I eventually got some anti-anxiety medication from my roommate and after about 30 minutes I came back to some semblance of normal. This same exact thing happened again months later when I was given dabs (high concentrate THC wax) but this time I ended up in the hospital and had to be restrained by police and security before I was given some antipsychotic medication and blacked out. While I’m glad that some of you have never experienced this and are not predisposed to psychosis and schizophrenia, please don’t erase and try to minimize the lived experiences of those that have gone through this and are still suffering to this day. It’s a hellacious existence and it’s very real. I agree that marijuana has profoundly positive impacts on those who suffer with epilepsy, cancer and other diseases, weed still has some very real and consequential side effects that should not be minimized. Especially for young men who are statistically more susceptible to develop psychosis and schizophrenia.
@@gibbogle God. Can't believe someone would actually comment such nonsense. Why do you think people start smoking cannabis at first place? Obviously it gives good feelings to the user. People smoke back in hopes it would give back that feeling. Can you be more adequate before writing some idiotic crap?
Im diagnosed has schizo effective. Interestingly i never smoked when young. I had zero mental illness signs. I excelled in life. In my mid 20s i began smoking weed. Since then ive been hospitalized over a dozen times, in and out of psyche wards. I havent used other drugs. Realizing cannabis was destroying my life ive honestly been trying to quit for about a decade. Im nine months clean, and i crave it. My mind is coming back but not very quickly. withdrawal is more psychological than physical alrhough im itchy and my sweat stings, i would say the counter intuitive thoughts are the worst. It seems my nervous system has been maladaptively rewired to hate sunlight, excorsize and to feel more peaceful depleting my serotonin than restoring it. I feel intense depression withkut weed now. But for nine months have gone against my nervous systems intuition, and am deciding to stay off it permanently. Its actually very addictive and withdrawal is real...just not stereotypical. Everyday i feel more confident but its still difficult.
@@RickyTickyBobbyWobbin628youre so judgmental, you don’t know what he’s been thru that made him feel the need to continue using this substance. Get off your fucking high horse
It's funny how my mother had a nervous breakdown in 1960,then diagnosed with schizophrenia,then had 2 different stints of ECT treatment at napa st. hospital 5 yrs before i was born, then i have been a cannabis user since the age of 12yrs...but now trying so desperately to STOP this year on my own...having symptoms of anxiety,worry,panic & psychosis i would like to believe...some kind of connection here with my blood family line of alcoholism,addiction,mental illness.
Yeah but if you look at most cases in mental health....drugs & alcohol have a strong correlation to mental illness...so I still stand firm with what I said here.@@RickyTickyBobbyWobbin628
There are many stories of people acting paranoid after consuming Weed, (THC). I have experienced it myself. After experiencing feelings that I was being watched, and sensations of morbid guilt, I stopped ever smoking Weed again! There is a well known story about three guys who were driving around after smoking large amounts MJ: They all became convinced that they were being tailed by agents of the Police. After an hour of trying to evade them, they finally gave up, and drove to the Police Station and turned themselves in, to the utter surprise of the Police!
I have deeply enjoyed and value every psychotic/derealization/depersonalization experience I've ever had-- But I recognize that these experiences are not to be taken lightly, and am grateful that folk who are educated in neurochemistry are speaking about this. Thank you.
I had a brief psychotic episode this year. I was dabbing, but I was also getting absolutely no sleep for a few weeks because of chronic back pain and I was on hydrocodone and flexiril along with the dabs. The hospital at first said it was cannabis psychosis but then after hearing how I wasn’t sleeping and was taking painkillers and highly stressed I think they kind of changed their mind and blamed the weed less. I’ve smoked weed every day for 15 years and never had a problem until now. I love weed. How can I know whether it will cause problems in the future if I smoke again? I truly believe that lack of sleep and stress and painkillers and also stopping alcohol at the same time had more to do with it than the weed did.
This has been very interesting to learn about! I was wondering if there is a difference between the "transient" psychosis you mentioned and the kind of psychosis that is related to the increased risk of developing schizophrenia? I ask only because if 70% of participants with no special vulnerabilities experienced this transient psychosis when administered THC, and the statistic is 1 in 3 odds of developing schizophrenia after experiencing cannabis induced psychosis, doesn't that mean about 23% of people who ingest marijuana should go on to develop schizophrenia? I feel like it would be very empirically possible to determine if nearly one in four users had this happen, no? Thanks for the awesome presentation!
I smoked a lot of weed when I was younger and into my mid 20's. I have developed schizophrenia, and this is the only thing I can seem to link in my life that may be a answer to how and why? Still not sure but idk.
For the last time weed does not MAKE you develop anything, its about your genes, family history, and how you react to it and if you decide its not for you thats fine but dont thin that whatever happened to you also applies to others
I lost the love of my life, my home and my job due to cannabis induced psychosis. Didn't realize it wasn't paying nice with my psychiatric medications...
Im skitzo. Im 57. I dabbled in high potency weed ond off all my adult life. Probably due to the stress of mental illness i contracted psiorasis and subsequently arthritus some years later. I know full strength weed is bad for me, however one thing has led to another i am now on a medicinal programme for pain relief. I mostly take cbd oil however i have also been prescribed softgels with a small amount of thc in them. Once my reservationss were dispelled i found them not only good for additional pain relief but have found them quite good at treating my depression as well. I self monitor my thoughts and feel generally pretty good about things. There is just a trace of anxiety but its at a level where i can cope well and enjoy the stimulus which helps me better engage with my wife of 20 years and feel better in touch with my kids. Believe me, despite my marriage resembling a worn out old sock, my wife would be the first one to complain in the case of any irrational behaviour, but she doesnt. So as far as im concerned, i dont need to worry unecessarily.
This is timely, valuable cautionary information, in this era of legalization, on the connections between cannabis, psychosis, and schizophrenia. However, we mustn't neglect to make the difficult conceptual distinctions between valuable altered states of consciousness, such as genius, extra-sensory perception, visionary experiences, creative inspiration, shamanistic trance states, and delusions.
Was diagnosed with drug induced psychosis and bipolar affective disorder about 20 years ago, it lasted about 3 weeks with manic symptoms, no hallucinations, never had an episode since, I'm 38 now , and I'm suffering from stress related insomnia, tried anti anxiety meds for years and devoloped a habit for Klonopin, I've smoked weed about 4 times since with no problem, but I'm scared of increasing the use of it , the video talks about augmentation of 3x of a manic episode or psychosis but what's the baseline? Does it jump from 10% to 30% chance in any given time? If I roll the dice I want to know my chances. Thanks for your replies much appreciated
@phillip wareham yep I have and it does help a little, I'm trying out CBN it's soppusidly more effective for sleep, but still THC is much more potent for getting to bed
Try half a gummy bear which is about 3 mgs of thc. To get Psychosis and I tested this with Bipolar you need to ride up above 20 mgs a day. You should take half a gummy bear = 3 mgs at bedtime or an hour before. Then every hour add 3mgs of gummy if still away and you will need a 3rd or 4th on a bad tense anxious day.
I'm nuts from weed. Going through the withdrawal is worse than the paranoia when high. I've gone mad. Literally angry and snapping on people all the time. Looking for a good therapist b4 somebody kills me or i go to prison. God help me
Im sure i know some people who are going through this. Its really sad. Its a hard process. Hoping theres a treatment for it and these people can get better eventually
My experience with weed is for a year. I remember i had 3 instances that somehow felt like pyschosis. The last one was horrible. It goes like this when i would take weed and i was in a good mood, i would be laughing and joking and would be having the best time of my life. But the times that i had bad experience was when i was already kinna depressed and stressed and the weed made me anxious and i started panicking. It happened two times but i thought it was fine cause it wasn't really a big deal cause other times i really laugh, joke and have fun while playing games. But i remember the last time i had, (was depressed and anxious already) i started having panic attack, i felt like i was losing control, i had strange bloody and dark hallucinations. I got very scared that i couldn't leave the house for days. Though i stopped the smoking i had continuous hallucinations and p Blown out panick attack and was scared to death. Got hospitalized and got under med for a month. Since then never smoked once. It intensify what you're already feeling. Therefore if you're already depressed, stressed and anxious the chances of getting pyschosis is 100 %
While I agree with most of this, it's important to note other factors widely documented to mediate the risks, such as adolescent use, frequency and amount smoked, and significantly the levels of THC to CBD, as CBD has antipsychotic effects. There isn't yet definitive evidence to suggest CBD reduces the increased risk, but many studies have found it to so far. Potency is essential to consider as THC levels have risen drastically in recent years to more dangerous levels. This has been linked to increased psychotic disorders within the population in countries with typically higher THC levels. Psychosis symptoms are also more likely when THC is ingested due to higher bioavailability.
The ONLY time I ever Had a seizure, my father and Best friend we're all smoking, my dad has at least been smoking 50 of his 70 years I'm not 100% sure when he started, also my friend comes from a family of parents smokers, an occasionally this would most likely happen when I'm going to sleep and it would almost feel like I'm falling but I call it drifting, I would feel my body started I would call it a tingling sensation all over, could fight it but also I kind of how to induce, and get it over with, I've had these moments before around people and they just didn't know because there was not a like a extreme physical I was in a position and I just got locked into that position but when the whole thing was over they both were looking at me and my friend goes I think you just had a seizure, this is when I was still using combustion style tobacco products and tobacco-based nicotine, that's when I would have shaky hands too, I can say I haven't had those seizure situation or case of the shaky hands like that since 2019 but this is when I fully switched my tobacco use and my THC use from combustion to vaporization when I would Kris Kross the different styles of smoking I would end up having a scratchy throat or respiratory symptoms after I would like to warn people about the difference I do know that I'm I'm still at risks, but just as people get addicted needles I'm addicted to blowing smoke, cloud chasing, and and you can also call this smoking sensation, I tried to avoid coughing, but that's when I had a high tolerance, and practice there is a science to it because you can change the temperature on a electric dab rig and you don't want to do extremely hot dab and you don't want it to be too little either but effectively I would only have to smoke three times a day breakfast lunch and dinner I would do like the smaller vape pens in public or a nectar collector style I can't recommend to everyone to go this route but if you are going to inhale, why would you want plant material and other potential cutting agents if the whole purpose is THC
I agree that marijuana should be legal so it can be studied more, warnings about side effects can be placed on products. Making it legal also can weaken or disable organised crime black markets, and people that need it for medical reasons can have easier access to it. I also agree 100% that political groups deny the risks of it which is unsafe for society because it spreads disinformation and causes confusion. Also, putting people in prison for using it is a waste of tax payers money. That money can be used to treat people that get sick from it.
Thanks for the video!. What would be A medication that would help someone who got diagnosed with phycosis and or physophrina/bipolar disorder due to smoking cannabis?.
Hey guys my self mahesh and I feel same from last 2 years after I try weed. After that I stop taking drugs all the way cigarettes alcohol, weed. Can anyone tell me is it fine if drink again?
You don't want to know. It's a nightmare. 😅 My husband hadn't taken out the trash yet. It was sitting by the door. I just finished watching a Japanese song on UA-cam - One Ok Rock. I somehow correlated the two and thought that the trash bag was full of body parts that the yakuza cut up, and they were sending me a message. In my mind that was the solid truth! That's just one example and it was nonstop, every minute of every day for almost a year. It was insane. I was...insane. And I remember what it felt like. I told my mom that my brain felt like a satellite in space that was spinning out of control and didn't know where to face earth. I remember my husband crying of a broken heart because he thought I would always be like that, but I was confused. I usually felt normal. My husband had to constantly tell me to take my meds, because I didn't see the need to take them. My husband was a huge help in getting me out of it. I needed to know what was going on if I was ever to get out of that. If he had put me in a mental ward, I would have been sooo confused as to why I was there! I needed normality to help me grasp reality. He saw the worst parts of it. I didn't even know how crazy I was at the worst parts. I only remember certain things. I had to sort out my thoughts over time- a long time. He was persistent and kind in stating facts. I didn't believe him, but I did what he asked when he told me to stop certain behaviors. Liiiike....thinking I was talking to the computer whenever I typed something. I thought I had important things to say that would alter the course of humanity, but it was all gibberish. After a while my brain went "Wait....that is gibberish." I'm grateful he told me to stop typing on the computer because my brain would not have slowed down to make that important connection. I'm grateful that he was someone I highly trusted before I "stepped off the reservation". If I didn't trust him, I could very well still be crazy to this day. Also thank God for modern medicine. Losing my mind was NOT fun!! Funny story, I paid for a Guardian newspaper subscription but didn't remember doing that. I thought it was related to a Guardian class in a game I play called BDO. The bank actually refunded us the money after we thought that we had been hacked. Like - the level of nuts I was was waaaaay out there. I respect the bank for refunding us the money, because it was my mistake.
I was overdosed, in november and now I cant sleep as before I weak up too early, i cant sleep good I am tired during the day, is it start of schizophrenia?
@@lptherapygroup6591 any halfway competent med provider would pay attention for signs with any treatment. And it is very common for cannabis to cause problems with meds.
This is great info . All ganja evangelist types should take note . I have two friends who just shouldn't smoke at all . Both completely lose it on pot . I used to go raving with one friend a math teacher in a private school and a really lovely guy. He can take most drugs , K , mdma, LSD etc on a recreational basis and he is absolutely fine, but one puff on a joint and everything changes. He was on holiday once and for some reason (?) thought the local bush weed might not send him crazy ...not at all...his mates ,me included had to work out how to get someone out of a psychiatric unit in Asia. I need no convincing that some people have a genetic predisposition towards cannabis psychosis
I’m seeing things that are not there I see fleeting images of people in my parferie I hear things over consistent noises but I live such a happy life and I do not want to be controlled by someone because they will send me away because of my beliefs my views are extreme and homicidal no clue what to do but I will not be controlled and sent to a ward I have an extreme will to live but I’ll end myself before this ever happens any help?
Just chill. Be Love. Cultivate feelings of love for all living beings and yourself. Wish for the happiness and wellness of all living things. God bless you. Peace out. ✌
ive been smoking for about 7 yrs, i take multiple dabs everyday and even know some oldies that have been smoking fine for way longer than me, more in the ballpark of 20+ yrs and been fine ... ive maybe seen around 4 instances of ppl having panic attacks/mental breakdowns and in 1 of those cases the person had very bad bpd. i dont want to invalidate these ppl in the comments telling their experience, but i genuinely feel like its smth along the lines of maybe cut/laced products like we've seen with vitamin e acetate and phytol, or just a certain amount of the population having predisposed issues along with or to it. if u even go to the national library of medicine and look at the study urself u will see just how "inconclusive" it is to them how cannabis is linked to schizophrenia, the scientists themselves in their own paper barely even sound confident in what theyre claiming .... just see the 500 times they say smth along the lines of "an actual line of causation hasnt been found". this is like saying that breathing oxygen can give u cancer type argument for me until more studies that actually try come out
also some of u be claiming shit like: "i literally started running on the walls after eating a single weed nugget" thc doesnt even activate unless burned or decarbed like please stop lying if u dont actually know what ur talking about, thats sick
I son hears voices everyday,and he has smoked weed since he was 16 and I caught him doing meth,this is not a good combination so please don't do it,he goes nuts for about 3 days not eating And sleeping,had him hospitalized 2 times but he won't leave the pot alone.He is disabled can't do anything so sad.
The vibes in the world are far too dark to take this plant lightly. That also goes for any 'medicinal or mind altering substance. We are in a perilous and fragile time, seek God instead.
The incidence of cannabis-induced psychotic disorder is thought to be 2.7 per 100,000 person-years. Just so everybody knows. I am curious what's the rate of heart attack, cancer, and other horrible diseases if you're smoking cigarettes?
I worked 25 years with brain damage and behaviors at a violent facility I have a DSW and 35 years of Psychology study. I have come to believe the extremism is another form of insanity. For example if you give a patient that was in a car acciedent an appropriate dose of Morphine for pain it is good. If a teen takes Morphine for thrills it is dangerous and can be addictive. If you take too much Morphine you will likely die. THC and CBD if you have 6 mgs in a gummy bear you will enjoy laughing , watching a move or talking. If you have Bipolar or other and take a joint with 45 mgs to 90 mgs your asking for paoosible Psychosis. STOP ,....lying and saying that THC equals Psychosis when it is dose dependent.
I’m pro marijuana, and love marijuana (lol). I would consider myself a connoisseur, and am well educated in the area. I range between 1/2 and 1 ounce of weed a week. 90% of people cannot handle this. (I work three jobs, and am a full time college student who received a 3.645 GPA this semester, and am a chemistry student who did not graduate high school and has a GED from prison. I’m almost always high, and have smoked for years. I have been kicked out of the medical marijuana groups for being “anti-weed” because I would call them out on their bullshit lies, like it cures all cancer, or cures depression. Like I have told them, lying to legalize is no different than lying for prohibition. Concentrates I believe should only be legal for medical use. There are definitely negative consequences to its use, for example, I always loose shit😂. I looked for doctors to help me understand through testing what damages I have possibly done by smoking copious amounts of cannabis, starting at a young age. When I explain, they tell me that I know more than them and they can’t help me. Reduction in gray matter in the brain is probably the most serious I have read. One issue I have with this psychosis issue, is that it is beyond clear that the medical community has no idea about a majority of mental illness. We’re in the “lobotomy stage” still of this area of study. I don’t think they should sell edibles, people can’t handle them. If you want to make edibles and go through the trouble, you probably are one who can handle edibles. I realize this is not popular, but I don’t think weed stores (aside from medical dispensaries) should be open. It should still be like the black market was. Nobody sells you laced weed. I used to sell weed. It costs more than the weed. You only lace your own weed, or you buy it knowing it’s laced, and you pay more. Just remove all legal penalties for the market. Forget your taxes, forget your regulation. Just let it be. #ThisIsLibertarianism
Cannabis today is no more potent than cannabis from 5,000 years ago. Compairing samples from the top dispensary growers today against very poorly grown cannabis from amatuer growers and police/ government agencies does not provide an accurate picture. I will have more comments. The lies surrounding cannabis need to stop.
"...no more potent than...5000 years ago." - In the wild. Nobody's smoking that shit. I've recently quit having smoked since the '70's and what's on the market today is no comparison to 40 years ago. It's the high potency that causes the problems. And vapes are even worse.

Not always. While it is more common in those with developing brains, I know someone who is 58 and developed psychosis after starting to smoke marajuana 6 months ago.
It's not nonsense but I will say despite all this, cannabis should be legal. It's prohibition is more harmful then if it's legal. If it causes distress for some people, still isn't a reason for it to be illegal
Schizophrenia is a gene, but marijuana can exacerbate that gene, revealing what was already there. I've personally experienced it as well. They thought I had permanent schizophrenia because it lasted for nine months for me. Psychosis and schizophrenia are not the same thing. Schizophrenia is permanent while psychosis is not. It's very similar to being extremely high. It's the only thing that I can relate it to. I know because I've been extremely high before. Having schizophrenia feels WORSE than being high, and I've accidentally taken 1,000mg. My mom in law is a weed nurse and her husband runs a weed company. I fully support them. For those that are susceptible with this gene, it can be a death sentence. I was an unusually happy person growing up. Working as a cashier once, I even got an award for the way that I always greeted the customer with a genuine smile. It wouldn't be a surprise at all that my body produces too much dopamine. My husband, who went to school to be a nurse, knew about excess dopamine and was the first to tell me about it. These are facts, plain and simple.
This is propaganda cause most psychiatrist listed above are not looking at things from an Integral a-perspective meaning from a reality perspective and I agree on some points that high potency cannabis can cause unwanted things to happen largly from prohibition and the lack of education which is hard to find real people telling the honest truth about cannabis and the benefits of it. I now know I will educate the budtenders when I go into a dispensary for the first time. Remember that the definition of an addiction is a repeated behavior that does not get your desired result. Cannabis can be used Intelligently and wisely to grow yourself and evolve. I suggest you guys do your homework before making any udgements or conclusions about things. Meaning I'd you are getting your desired result with cannabis and it is not harming you, then I am all for it! Let toke up!
Maybe, but I smoked from 17 into my mid 20's and developed Schizophrenia. I absolutely loved smoking weed. But for me hopefully this is a answer and they can figure out some better treatments. Who knows, if it hadn't happened to me I probably would think like you.
@@adambaker9702 labels are just labels for symptoms of a deeper root cause. "Schizophrenia" is a spiritual injury pattern but to those stuck in 3d it appears to be only the presenting symptom cluster.
@@adambaker9702 Like do you still have Schizophrenia? Did it go away after stopping weed? My daughter might be going through the same thing. Any input you are willing to share may be helpful.
There are those who love weed and selfishly don't want bad news getting out, and those who've experienced the nightmare and had their eyes opened.
Yep
This is such a great comment. Completely agreed.
YOU'VE experienced a nightmare because you had a bad trip, it becomes very easy for the mind to disturb itself when under bad external influences. you have to be in a good head space and a good environmental space in order to keep yourself under control, cannabis induced "psychosis" is a slippery slope because its symptoms are similar to a panic attack and if you've ever had a panic attack then you know that when your already in a panicked state its easy to belief anything and even more easier under the influence however it doesn't mean anything is actually happening. Its important to understand that while yes weed is a psychoactive drug it doesn't mean the drug itself is the cause of a "psychotic" episode and the reason I put that word in quotations is because it is temporary and rarely ever has any long term effects so when the weed consumption stops so does the paranoia. Weed isn't for everyone and that's alright, but don't think that what you've experienced applies to everyone else. If you cant handle it, don't take it.
@@RickyTickyBobbyWobbin628 Calm down. You sound desperate.
@@unzarjones what would I be desperate for ?
I have twelve friends this has happened to and none of them recovered. Cannabis (hasch) caused chronic psychosis and these young people had their lives destroyed. Nothing makes me angrier when users insists its "good for you".
I used to work with a middle-aged man who spent 18 years of his life in a mental hospital, the first two years in the forensic unit, all due entirely to pot.
When I started working with him he still suffered from catatonic schizophrenia and “coke bugs”. Yes, coke bugs from pot, not coke. His prognosis for any further improvement is very poor.
I have a brother and nephew who were both destroyed by chronic use of pot. My brother’s psychotic and on drugs to control his mind and my nephew is a homeless schizophrenic on the streets. My brother also developed ataxia and can barely walk. It hurts so much to see him knowing how intelligent, successful and strong he used to be. And I never see my nephew. The worst thing is that my brother still won’t accept that the marijuana did all this. I only hope that someone reading this will take the warning that using marijuana is playing Russian roulette and stop.
i had psychosis from pot when i was 15/16. idk why people just dont stop or take a break seriously. as soon as i noticed the signs that i was going psychotic i just stopped smoking and it went away. when i smoke now i dont feel psychotic/schizo or anything i just feel high. its all about moderation. also its not the drug its the person
My son addicted to cannabis and he developed psychosis 😢
@@live7256 sorry to hear that
I had a dear friend was a regular pot smoker and diagnosed with schizophrenia. She had schizophrenia on her family line. Once she stopped smoking, it went away.
It's not schizophrenia. It's cannabis induced psychosis. He should avoid cannabis

@paoloflores3266 she didn't need it anymore
I was smoking cannabis ( NO other drugs ever ) since 2015 - 2022 July ~ 8 Years I am currently 26 years old. I had my first psychosis episode on 20th. July 2022 .... I started having smell hallucinations followed by visual hallucinations. I saw blood all over the floor and then went to my neighbours house and i dont remember what i Spoke... I saw my own body and im standing somewhere else then my family took me to hospital because for two days i didnt drink , eat... when i was taken to hospital on July 22 i have little collection of what happened but i was having auditory hallucinations. I was feeling im my deceased grandmother when they were taking me to the hospital then i thought im a crow then cow... it was SCARRYYYY !!! My memory finally came back around July 28th,2022... what happened for a week I do not remember... I was given Haloperidol initially some injections then later i was kept on Risperidone from August 22' - November... Now currently I have been given Zolpidiem ( for sleep ) and Escitalopram ( anti- depressent ) ... Still not sure if cannabis caused it or my depression. I had family induced sexual trauma at the age of 18 ( 2014 ) where the addiction begin which developed fear of being watched as well and uncomfortable in my own body..
Cannabis + Depression + fear = LETHAL combination.
I hope you're feeling better, and never have to deal with those feeling again.🙏🏽
I hope you feel better. During my CIP episode, I had tactile and visual hallucinations. I saw insects every time I closed my eyes and it later developed into me feeling them. However I was on seroquel and a SNRI at the time of the episode so I do not currently know if they are somewhat responsible for the development of the condition that I conquered. I beat CIP after abstinence from cannabis. I have gone back to recreational weed for almost a whole year. however I limit my exposure to it. and I do not take any other pills that have an effect on dopamine reuptake. And I have yet to experience another break from reality.
It could also be important to note in my individual case, it was my first time ever smoking weed. And I didn’t smoke it but I vaped a concentration of it. A 90% plug and play cart. It was stupid and foolish of me to go from completely sober, never trying any “drug” in my life, to downing 90% concentration of THC daily for a month straight.
I am also concerned at studies that claim that people who have developed CIP before have a 50% chance according to a Danish study that followed 6,700 people, of later developing schizophrenia. And I know that further exposure to cannabis like I’ve been doing only increase my chances.
This video is also further alarming to me as it shows that 75% of people carry and increased risk of psychosis when exposed to cannabis.
You’ll be in my prayers and I truly hope that you and me never have to experience the hell of another psychosis break. 🙏🙏
Everything you said happened to me yes ,absolutely cannabis should be illegal to depressed people actually.From experience it helps for few weeks but it can become lethal because of psychosis or schizophrenia.One might think cannabis is helpful for depression but in my case only extended the depression itself.It is like the depths of ocean of depression on canabiss.Im off meds happy ,smoked marijuana in 4 yrs maybe 4 times.It simply is not the same anymore and having a risk of being hospitiliezed and on meds is just not worth it.I personally prefer to be high on life and there is no drug that can give internal strengths and high like fitness,swimming,hiking,gymnastics,etc.All best to you❤
Do you think its depends on the type of cannabis used for example the cannabis pens vs the plant vs the Dab? I wonder because cannabis isn't cannabis anymore with all the extra chemicals being mixed into the cannabis.
@@ericataylor0123yes the pens and dabs have more thc cuz they concentrated wax and liquid and they have more chemicals in them.
I experienced twice in my life substance withdrawal psychosis from marijuana. Both episodes drastically changed my life. I my grandfather was a schizophrenic and I was eventually diagnosed from schizophrenic to schizoaffective.. long story short I asked god to help me I didn’t know why I asked but eventually I got totally sober and my paranoid delusional thoughts have evaporated for the most part. To anyone struggling with addiction or mental ilness: you are worthy of having a good life I’m living proof that you can.. 4 years and counting.. 🙏❤️
I'm praying for my son to be healed
@@captainfox6212 keep praying for him and I will too.. I had a lot of people praying for me and today I know those prayers are what brought me out of the abyss of darkness.. sending my prayers your way to your son 🙏❤️
I experienced cannabis induced psychotic hospitalization as a teen, If the speaker had experienced this, he would likely not support the liberal legalization of any form of cannabis at any age. It is truly awful.
If people are informed they should be able to make the choice. Also I think psychosis is more prevalent if cannabis is abused, and that’s the individuals lack of control at fault
it's almost as if you shouldn't use intoxicants as a teen, something that could be reinforced by regulation and put under an age limit if cannabis was legalized.
You just had a bad trip, understand the mind is an easy thing to get lost in and being panicked in an intoxicated state is scary but never permanent. Weed isn't a drug that can induce a psychotic break, Its always temporary maybe dont smoke so much next time and/or weed isnt for everyone so if you cant handle it dont take it
@@RickyTickyBobbyWobbin62843:57 you can see it says “cannabis use is associated with approximately 3-fold increased risk of developing schizophrenia”
@@owenmacleod8681That's a ridiculous notion. Anyone can smoke weed and end up with psychosis. It's not just caused by wreckless use. No one knows if it's going to trigger or cause long-term damage. You can smoke once and have it trigger psychosis. It's disgusting to blame people for doing something that you do, just because they have real horrible effects.
Interested in watching this! I have had some pretty scary times ingesting too much THC. With it being legalized I'm interested in experimenting a bit, but I'm definitely concerned about the potential side effects. It would be a lot less harsh than drinking a 6 pack every night, but mentally it could take a real toll.
THANK YOU!!!! I STARTED AT 12 AND IM NOW 47. AND HAD PANIC ATTACKS AFTER SMOKING RECENTLY. WAS TRYING TO REINTRODUCE MYSELF TO THC WITH NOT SO DESIREABLE RESULTS. IM HANGUNG UP MY BONG
that's what smoking too much weed does..it CAN make you have a panic attack but its ONLY a panic attack. ground yourself and understand its part of the high and keep in mind weeds not for everyone so if you cant handle it don't take it but don't think that what happened to you is what happens to everyone else.
The rate of recreational cannabis use in Canada now is concerning given this information, widespread mental illness. It is already a problem amongst Canadian young adults
Lmfao Trudeau doesnt care!
out of all the fucked up shit that happens in Canada, I dont think weed should be one of your primary concerns smh
And people wonder why the government legalized weed😂
I want to preface my comment by saying that I’m a proponent for weed and think it should be legalized federally. With that said, it’s very disingenuous of some of you to dismiss the very real and present side effects that are associated with marijuana use. I was an every day smoker from ages 16-18 until I joined the military and had to stop. When I got discharged from the military (medical reason in basic training), I attempted to go back to smoking a year later but I noticed that I was increasingly paranoid and would become somewhat manic and start crying incessantly because I felt so down and like I was a loser. I felt ashamed of myself and like I was dirty and a failure. These feelings had nothing to do with being discharged btw, I was more than content with that.
However, every time I would try to smoke (very cheap, not heavily potent weed), I would get these feelings and go into the crying spells. I would become so incredibly paranoid and felt like everyone knew I was high and that I was being so loud even though I had my TV turned down to where I could barely hear it. I lived in my own apartment over 3 hours away from my mother but I still felt like she knew I was high and she was going to bust through my door at any moment to scorn me.
So I stopped smoking for almost another year. I got a job as a corrections officer and took pride in that so I completely stopped smoking for the 9 months I worked there. Then I left that job and one night my roommate asked me if I wanted to smoke with him and I so I did. He had some extremely strong weed that he paid a good amount for and it had been almost a year since I had smoked. When we got done smoking, we went back inside and I sat on the couch and could feel my heart beating in my throat and felt like the walls of the living were closing in and like I had a 600lb man sitting on my chest. I felt trapped, couldn’t breathe, and began to spiral into a full blown panic attack. I felt like I couldn’t talk, I kept hearing this strange voice in my head and I just kept wanting to scream. Time was stuck in a repeating loop and I couldn’t escape. I’d stand up to try to get out of the living room and then immediately forget what I was doing and then sat back down. I repeated this for what felt like hours while just screaming “Help!”. I eventually got some anti-anxiety medication from my roommate and after about 30 minutes I came back to some semblance of normal.
This same exact thing happened again months later when I was given dabs (high concentrate THC wax) but this time I ended up in the hospital and had to be restrained by police and security before I was given some antipsychotic medication and blacked out.
While I’m glad that some of you have never experienced this and are not predisposed to psychosis and schizophrenia, please don’t erase and try to minimize the lived experiences of those that have gone through this and are still suffering to this day. It’s a hellacious existence and it’s very real. I agree that marijuana has profoundly positive impacts on those who suffer with epilepsy, cancer and other diseases, weed still has some very real and consequential side effects that should not be minimized. Especially for young men who are statistically more susceptible to develop psychosis and schizophrenia.
Yup this happened to me too many times
It’s terrible!
Since you know that cannabis has a very bad effect on you, why do you repeat the experience?
@@gibbogle God. Can't believe someone would actually comment such nonsense. Why do you think people start smoking cannabis at first place? Obviously it gives good feelings to the user.

Im diagnosed has schizo effective. Interestingly i never smoked when young. I had zero mental illness signs. I excelled in life. In my mid 20s i began smoking weed. Since then ive been hospitalized over a dozen times, in and out of psyche wards. I havent used other drugs. Realizing cannabis was destroying my life ive honestly been trying to quit for about a decade. Im nine months clean, and i crave it. My mind is coming back but not very quickly. withdrawal is more psychological than physical alrhough im itchy and my sweat stings, i would say the counter intuitive thoughts are the worst. It seems my nervous system has been maladaptively rewired to hate sunlight, excorsize and to feel more peaceful depleting my serotonin than restoring it. I feel intense depression withkut weed now. But for nine months have gone against my nervous systems intuition, and am deciding to stay off it permanently. Its actually very addictive and withdrawal is real...just not stereotypical. Everyday i feel more confident but its still difficult.
gee who would a thought that taking a psychoactive drug while having schizo would be a bad idea

There are many stories of people acting paranoid after consuming Weed, (THC). I have experienced it myself. After experiencing feelings that I was being watched, and sensations of morbid guilt, I stopped ever smoking Weed again! There is a well known story about three guys who were driving around after smoking large amounts MJ: They all became convinced that they were being tailed by agents of the Police. After an hour of trying to evade them, they finally gave up, and drove to the Police Station and turned themselves in, to the utter surprise of the Police!
yeah they just got way too high
I have deeply enjoyed and value every psychotic/derealization/depersonalization experience I've ever had-- But I recognize that these experiences are not to be taken lightly, and am grateful that folk who are educated in neurochemistry are speaking about this. Thank you.
Being mad is bliss to the mad
I could value the experiences if the side effects didn’t linger to this day
I had a brief psychotic episode this year. I was dabbing, but I was also getting absolutely no sleep for a few weeks because of chronic back pain and I was on hydrocodone and flexiril along with the dabs. The hospital at first said it was cannabis psychosis but then after hearing how I wasn’t sleeping and was taking painkillers and highly stressed I think they kind of changed their mind and blamed the weed less. I’ve smoked weed every day for 15 years and never had a problem until now. I love weed. How can I know whether it will cause problems in the future if I smoke again? I truly believe that lack of sleep and stress and painkillers and also stopping alcohol at the same time had more to do with it than the weed did.

This has been very interesting to learn about! I was wondering if there is a difference between the "transient" psychosis you mentioned and the kind of psychosis that is related to the increased risk of developing schizophrenia? I ask only because if 70% of participants with no special vulnerabilities experienced this transient psychosis when administered THC, and the statistic is 1 in 3 odds of developing schizophrenia after experiencing cannabis induced psychosis, doesn't that mean about 23% of people who ingest marijuana should go on to develop schizophrenia? I feel like it would be very empirically possible to determine if nearly one in four users had this happen, no?
Thanks for the awesome presentation!
I smoked a lot of weed when I was younger and into my mid 20's. I have developed schizophrenia, and this is the only thing I can seem to link in my life that may be a answer to how and why? Still not sure but idk.

For the last time weed does not MAKE you develop anything, its about your genes, family history, and how you react to it and if you decide its not for you thats fine but dont thin that whatever happened to you also applies to others
I lost the love of my life, my home and my job due to cannabis induced psychosis. Didn't realize it wasn't paying nice with my psychiatric medications...
Im skitzo. Im 57. I dabbled in high potency weed ond off all my adult life. Probably due to the stress of mental illness i contracted psiorasis and subsequently arthritus some years later. I know full strength weed is bad for me, however one thing has led to another i am now on a medicinal programme for pain relief. I mostly take cbd oil however i have also been prescribed softgels with a small amount of thc in them. Once my reservationss were dispelled i found them not only good for additional pain relief but have found them quite good at treating my depression as well. I self monitor my thoughts and feel generally pretty good about things. There is just a trace of anxiety but its at a level where i can cope well and enjoy the stimulus which helps me better engage with my wife of 20 years and feel better in touch with my kids. Believe me, despite my marriage resembling a worn out old sock, my wife would be the first one to complain in the case of any irrational behaviour, but she doesnt. So as far as im concerned, i dont need to worry unecessarily.
This is timely, valuable cautionary information, in this era of legalization, on the connections between cannabis, psychosis, and schizophrenia. However, we mustn't neglect to make the difficult conceptual distinctions between valuable altered states of consciousness, such as genius, extra-sensory perception, visionary experiences, creative inspiration, shamanistic trance states, and delusions.
At 6:50 wow, that chart is very revealing
Was diagnosed with drug induced psychosis and bipolar affective disorder about 20 years ago, it lasted about 3 weeks with manic symptoms, no hallucinations, never had an episode since, I'm 38 now , and I'm suffering from stress related insomnia, tried anti anxiety meds for years and devoloped a habit for Klonopin, I've smoked weed about 4 times since with no problem, but I'm scared of increasing the use of it , the video talks about augmentation of 3x of a manic episode or psychosis but what's the baseline? Does it jump from 10% to 30% chance in any given time? If I roll the dice I want to know my chances. Thanks for your replies much appreciated
@phillip wareham yep I have and it does help a little, I'm trying out CBN it's soppusidly more effective for sleep, but still THC is much more potent for getting to bed
@lybo s I took meds for s couple of months but I can't remember which, it was too long ago
@lybo s it was pot and other things, be careful and fallow the doctors advice
Try half a gummy bear which is about 3 mgs of thc.
To get Psychosis and I tested this with Bipolar you need to ride up above 20 mgs a day.
You should take half a gummy bear = 3 mgs at bedtime or an hour before.
Then every hour add 3mgs of gummy if still away and you will need a 3rd or 4th on a bad tense anxious day.
I'm nuts from weed. Going through the withdrawal is worse than the paranoia when high. I've gone mad. Literally angry and snapping on people all the time. Looking for a good therapist b4 somebody kills me or i go to prison. God help me
take 10g of creatine per day. Does wonders in repairing the brain, takes time though, be patient
Im sure i know some people who are going through this. Its really sad. Its a hard process. Hoping theres a treatment for it and these people can get better eventually
My experience with weed is for a year. I remember i had 3 instances that somehow felt like pyschosis. The last one was horrible. It goes like this when i would take weed and i was in a good mood, i would be laughing and joking and would be having the best time of my life. But the times that i had bad experience was when i was already kinna depressed and stressed and the weed made me anxious and i started panicking. It happened two times but i thought it was fine cause it wasn't really a big deal cause other times i really laugh, joke and have fun while playing games. But i remember the last time i had, (was depressed and anxious already) i started having panic attack, i felt like i was losing control, i had strange bloody and dark hallucinations. I got very scared that i couldn't leave the house for days. Though i stopped the smoking i had continuous hallucinations and p
Blown out panick attack and was scared to death. Got hospitalized and got under med for a month. Since then never smoked once.
It intensify what you're already feeling. Therefore if you're already depressed, stressed and anxious the chances of getting pyschosis is 100 %
While I agree with most of this, it's important to note other factors widely documented to mediate the risks, such as adolescent use, frequency and amount smoked, and significantly the levels of THC to CBD, as CBD has antipsychotic effects. There isn't yet definitive evidence to suggest CBD reduces the increased risk, but many studies have found it to so far. Potency is essential to consider as THC levels have risen drastically in recent years to more dangerous levels. This has been linked to increased psychotic disorders within the population in countries with typically higher THC levels. Psychosis symptoms are also more likely when THC is ingested due to higher bioavailability.
Thank you for the information.
The ONLY time I ever Had a seizure, my father and Best friend we're all smoking, my dad has at least been smoking 50 of his 70 years I'm not 100% sure when he started, also my friend comes from a family of parents smokers, an occasionally this would most likely happen when I'm going to sleep and it would almost feel like I'm falling but I call it drifting, I would feel my body started I would call it a tingling sensation all over, could fight it but also I kind of how to induce, and get it over with, I've had these moments before around people and they just didn't know because there was not a like a extreme physical I was in a position and I just got locked into that position but when the whole thing was over they both were looking at me and my friend goes I think you just had a seizure, this is when I was still using combustion style tobacco products and tobacco-based nicotine, that's when I would have shaky hands too, I can say I haven't had those seizure situation or case of the shaky hands like that since 2019 but this is when I fully switched my tobacco use and my THC use from combustion to vaporization when I would Kris Kross the different styles of smoking I would end up having a scratchy throat or respiratory symptoms after I would like to warn people about the difference I do know that I'm I'm still at risks, but just as people get addicted needles I'm addicted to blowing smoke, cloud chasing, and and you can also call this smoking sensation, I tried to avoid coughing, but that's when I had a high tolerance, and practice there is a science to it because you can change the temperature on a electric dab rig and you don't want to do extremely hot dab and you don't want it to be too little either but effectively I would only have to smoke three times a day breakfast lunch and dinner I would do like the smaller vape pens in public or a nectar collector style I can't recommend to everyone to go this route but if you are going to inhale, why would you want plant material and other potential cutting agents if the whole purpose is THC
I agree that marijuana should be legal so it can be studied more, warnings about side effects can be placed on products. Making it legal also can weaken or disable organised crime black markets, and people that need it for medical reasons can have easier access to it. I also agree 100% that political groups deny the risks of it which is unsafe for society because it spreads disinformation and causes confusion. Also, putting people in prison for using it is a waste of tax payers money. That money can be used to treat people that get sick from it.

Hey guys my self mahesh and I feel same from last 2 years after I try weed. After that I stop taking drugs all the way cigarettes alcohol, weed. Can anyone tell me is it fine if drink again?
I had no idea wtf was going on in the office picture LMFAOOO
You don't want to know. It's a nightmare. 😅
My husband hadn't taken out the trash yet. It was sitting by the door. I just finished watching a Japanese song on UA-cam - One Ok Rock. I somehow correlated the two and thought that the trash bag was full of body parts that the yakuza cut up, and they were sending me a message. In my mind that was the solid truth! That's just one example and it was nonstop, every minute of every day for almost a year. It was insane. I was...insane. And I remember what it felt like. I told my mom that my brain felt like a satellite in space that was spinning out of control and didn't know where to face earth. I remember my husband crying of a broken heart because he thought I would always be like that, but I was confused. I usually felt normal. My husband had to constantly tell me to take my meds, because I didn't see the need to take them.
My husband was a huge help in getting me out of it. I needed to know what was going on if I was ever to get out of that. If he had put me in a mental ward, I would have been sooo confused as to why I was there! I needed normality to help me grasp reality. He saw the worst parts of it. I didn't even know how crazy I was at the worst parts. I only remember certain things. I had to sort out my thoughts over time- a long time. He was persistent and kind in stating facts. I didn't believe him, but I did what he asked when he told me to stop certain behaviors. Liiiike....thinking I was talking to the computer whenever I typed something. I thought I had important things to say that would alter the course of humanity, but it was all gibberish. After a while my brain went "Wait....that is gibberish." I'm grateful he told me to stop typing on the computer because my brain would not have slowed down to make that important connection. I'm grateful that he was someone I highly trusted before I "stepped off the reservation". If I didn't trust him, I could very well still be crazy to this day.
Also thank God for modern medicine. Losing my mind was NOT fun!!

The bank actually refunded us the money after we thought that we had been hacked. Like - the level of nuts I was was waaaaay out there. I respect the bank for refunding us the money, because it was my mistake.
I was overdosed, in november and now I cant sleep as before I weak up too early, i cant sleep good I am tired during the day, is it start of schizophrenia?
Hello how r u feeling now?
@@andreamorato1529 Hi. Much better but not recovered. I am stuck in derealisation with anxiety disorder.
overdosed on what ?
I'm diagnosed with the same but not doing well at all. I reckon I have skitzophrenia. R U any better
Has anyone looked to see whether the connection has as it's third leg a common mutation: COMT?? I've had that theory for more than 10 yrs.
But how to get a family member to believe this when their idiot med provider supports its use. And they just think your bias…
Because most people are not negatively impacted by using cannabis.
@@lptherapygroup6591 any halfway competent med provider would pay attention for signs with any treatment.
And it is very common for cannabis to cause problems with meds.
Watching this while high because I feel this is dark and demonic and I should get far away from it
Be careful of religion, religions can cause serious brain damage and psychosis I'm serious.
Jesus will help if you ask.
higher THC variants and lower cost adulterated substances .
This is great info . All ganja evangelist types should take note .
I have two friends who just shouldn't smoke at all . Both completely lose it on pot .
I used to go raving with one friend a math teacher in a private school and a really lovely guy. He can take most drugs , K , mdma, LSD etc on a recreational basis and he is absolutely fine, but one puff on a joint and everything changes. He was on holiday once and for some reason (?) thought the local bush weed might not send him crazy ...not at all...his mates ,me included had to work out how to get someone out of a psychiatric unit in Asia.
I need no convincing that some people have a genetic predisposition towards cannabis psychosis
23:00 evidence for psychosis
I’m seeing things that are not there I see fleeting images of people in my parferie I hear things over consistent noises but I live such a happy life and I do not want to be controlled by someone because they will send me away because of my beliefs my views are extreme and homicidal no clue what to do but I will not be controlled and sent to a ward I have an extreme will to live but I’ll end myself before this ever happens any help?
Just chill. Be Love. Cultivate feelings of love for all living beings and yourself. Wish for the happiness and wellness of all living things. God bless you. Peace out. ✌
That is if we assume people use THC to achieve euphoria and not psychosis. Psychosis bad, euphoria good.
ive been smoking for about 7 yrs, i take multiple dabs everyday and even know some oldies that have been smoking fine for way longer than me, more in the ballpark of 20+ yrs and been fine ... ive maybe seen around 4 instances of ppl having panic attacks/mental breakdowns and in 1 of those cases the person had very bad bpd. i dont want to invalidate these ppl in the comments telling their experience, but i genuinely feel like its smth along the lines of maybe cut/laced products like we've seen with vitamin e acetate and phytol, or just a certain amount of the population having predisposed issues along with or to it. if u even go to the national library of medicine and look at the study urself u will see just how "inconclusive" it is to them how cannabis is linked to schizophrenia, the scientists themselves in their own paper barely even sound confident in what theyre claiming .... just see the 500 times they say smth along the lines of "an actual line of causation hasnt been found". this is like saying that breathing oxygen can give u cancer type argument for me until more studies that actually try come out
also some of u be claiming shit like: "i literally started running on the walls after eating a single weed nugget"
thc doesnt even activate unless burned or decarbed like please stop lying if u dont actually know what ur talking about, thats sick
I’ve had panic attacks from smoking flower bud from a dispensary so I’m not sure your theory is 100% correct.
I son hears voices everyday,and he has smoked weed since he was 16 and I caught him doing meth,this is not a good combination so please don't do it,he goes nuts for about 3 days not eating And sleeping,had him hospitalized 2 times but he won't leave the pot alone.He is disabled can't do anything so sad.

The title for this video would make an excellent band name.
so true hahah
''ONLY" 50%?
They dick with people that smoke(d) weed - electronic harassment - I am one of them.
The vibes in the world are far too dark to take this plant lightly. That also goes for any 'medicinal or mind altering substance. We are in a perilous and fragile time, seek God instead.
depends on genetics
The incidence of cannabis-induced psychotic disorder is thought to be 2.7 per 100,000 person-years. Just so everybody knows.
I am curious what's the rate of heart attack, cancer, and other horrible diseases if you're smoking cigarettes?
"thought to be" What's the source for this statement?
I worked 25 years with brain damage and behaviors at a violent facility I have a DSW and 35 years of Psychology study.
I have come to believe the extremism is another form of insanity.
For example if you give a patient that was in a car acciedent an appropriate dose of Morphine for pain it is good.
If a teen takes Morphine for thrills it is dangerous and can be addictive.
If you take too much Morphine you will likely die.
THC and CBD if you have 6 mgs in a gummy bear you will enjoy laughing , watching a move or talking.
If you have Bipolar or other and take a joint with 45 mgs to 90 mgs your asking for paoosible Psychosis.
STOP ,....lying and saying that THC equals Psychosis when it is dose dependent.
I’m pro marijuana, and love marijuana (lol). I would consider myself a connoisseur, and am well educated in the area. I range between 1/2 and 1 ounce of weed a week. 90% of people cannot handle this. (I work three jobs, and am a full time college student who received a 3.645 GPA this semester, and am a chemistry student who did not graduate high school and has a GED from prison. I’m almost always high, and have smoked for years.
I have been kicked out of the medical marijuana groups for being “anti-weed” because I would call them out on their bullshit lies, like it cures all cancer, or cures depression. Like I have told them, lying to legalize is no different than lying for prohibition. Concentrates I believe should only be legal for medical use.
There are definitely negative consequences to its use, for example, I always loose shit😂. I looked for doctors to help me understand through testing what damages I have possibly done by smoking copious amounts of cannabis, starting at a young age. When I explain, they tell me that I know more than them and they can’t help me. Reduction in gray matter in the brain is probably the most serious I have read. One issue I have with this psychosis issue, is that it is beyond clear that the medical community has no idea about a majority of mental illness. We’re in the “lobotomy stage” still of this area of study.
I don’t think they should sell edibles, people can’t handle them. If you want to make edibles and go through the trouble, you probably are one who can handle edibles. I realize this is not popular, but I don’t think weed stores (aside from medical dispensaries) should be open. It should still be like the black market was. Nobody sells you laced weed. I used to sell weed. It costs more than the weed. You only lace your own weed, or you buy it knowing it’s laced, and you pay more. Just remove all legal penalties for the market. Forget your taxes, forget your regulation. Just let it be. #ThisIsLibertarianism
Smoked weed on a daily basis for years and never experienced anything like this, even when I'm a “natural born” schizophrenic
It's Russian roulette.
Cannabis today is no more potent than cannabis from 5,000 years ago. Compairing samples from the top dispensary growers today against very poorly grown cannabis from amatuer growers and police/ government agencies does not provide an accurate picture. I will have more comments. The lies surrounding cannabis need to stop.
"...no more potent than...5000 years ago." - In the wild. Nobody's smoking that shit. I've recently quit having smoked since the '70's and what's on the market today is no comparison to 40 years ago. It's the high potency that causes the problems. And vapes are even worse.
Interesting. How do you know about cannabis from 5,000 years ago? Time travel?
Nonsense
It's a an association that power of mis elated form can warp shape of an idea, punishment is two of both sides that conduct but still can't be place without control to purpose, it can't be done as it wasn't intended for substances too exist this way but truthfully two preserve of sacred CE or P °=3Q power of loss to a gain that is to equal that can't be obtain, unpowered somewhat but why I can it equial of abuse if not elegance by still is but just isn't...
See a doctor
This is why idiots shouldn't consume weed - they get lost.
the way this woman speaks.... is an issue to begin with.... co dependent much???
psychopharma is fun... Loved it!!!
Her son died after getting addicted to THC 🙏
Well I am 72 yr old i been smoking weed since I was 17 i dont see any problem
No way, schizofrenia is not caused becose of cannabis use. It is caused by the values of society!
It's fine for adults and no extreme use. The idiots doing 3 gram dabs ruin it
Not always. While it is more common in those with developing brains, I know someone who is 58 and developed psychosis after starting to smoke marajuana 6 months ago.
It's medical grade from a dospensery
Utter nonsense
It's not nonsense but I will say despite all this, cannabis should be legal. It's prohibition is more harmful then if it's legal. If it causes distress for some people, still isn't a reason for it to be illegal
The misinformation given in this video is honestly sad to see from a self proclaimed specialist on the topic
agree 100%
Can you explain more in details? Lack of your information is even sadder to see
Misinformation how? CIP is real. I’ve personally experienced it.
Schizophrenia is a gene, but marijuana can exacerbate that gene, revealing what was already there. I've personally experienced it as well. They thought I had permanent schizophrenia because it lasted for nine months for me. Psychosis and schizophrenia are not the same thing. Schizophrenia is permanent while psychosis is not. It's very similar to being extremely high. It's the only thing that I can relate it to. I know because I've been extremely high before. Having schizophrenia feels WORSE than being high, and I've accidentally taken 1,000mg. My mom in law is a weed nurse and her husband runs a weed company. I fully support them. For those that are susceptible with this gene, it can be a death sentence. I was an unusually happy person growing up. Working as a cashier once, I even got an award for the way that I always greeted the customer with a genuine smile. It wouldn't be a surprise at all that my body produces too much dopamine. My husband, who went to school to be a nurse, knew about excess dopamine and was the first to tell me about it. These are facts, plain and simple.

This is propaganda cause most psychiatrist listed above are not looking at things from an Integral a-perspective meaning from a reality perspective and I agree on some points that high potency cannabis can cause unwanted things to happen largly from prohibition and the lack of education which is hard to find real people telling the honest truth about cannabis and the benefits of it. I now know I will educate the budtenders when I go into a dispensary for the first time. Remember that the definition of an addiction is a repeated behavior that does not get your desired result. Cannabis can be used Intelligently and wisely to grow yourself and evolve. I suggest you guys do your homework before making any udgements or conclusions about things. Meaning I'd you are getting your desired result with cannabis and it is not harming you, then I am all for it! Let toke up!
Maybe, but I smoked from 17 into my mid 20's and developed Schizophrenia. I absolutely loved smoking weed. But for me hopefully this is a answer and they can figure out some better treatments. Who knows, if it hadn't happened to me I probably would think like you.
@@adambaker9702 labels are just labels for symptoms of a deeper root cause. "Schizophrenia" is a spiritual injury pattern but to those stuck in 3d it appears to be only the presenting symptom cluster.
@@adambaker9702 what has helped you?
@@paulineewert7492 What has helped me with what exactly? I guess I don't understand the question.
@@adambaker9702 Like do you still have Schizophrenia? Did it go away after stopping weed? My daughter might be going through the same thing. Any input you are willing to share may be helpful.
