Cannabis researcher Robin Murray on cannabis and psychosis.

[Aeolus14]

Majority of UK adults are non cannabis takers and if u asked them do they think cannabis is bad they would reply with a yes. That is why there is not enough research because they automatically regard it as harmful. Therefore it won't be legalized.

[eleseur]

this guy knows his shit. 

[xXoBliiViOnXx]

when you smoke the herb, it reveals you to yourself.

[BekBud1]

@xXoBliiViOnXx i bet you remembered that quote from the bob marley joint papers lol

[TruthSeekerYX]

People are already insane! Cannabis makes them realise it.

[bluefly28]

its sick :)

[bluefly28]

man, i'm schizophrenic . the way you must look at it... to avoid people's thoughts of you having an impact, say to yourself so what? what you will never be told in school is that in tribal culture, our REAL history, schizophrenics were often told: you have a gift. you are the shaman of the family. so we know society is too dumbed down, ill informed, and paranoid of different cognitive behaviour cuz they cant control it so names were made 4 the people who exemplified examples of shamanic ability.

[ErkkiEno]

@bluefly28 Yeah and people are also insanely terrified by insanity. Not insanity itself, but their thoughts about it have nothing to do with what it is. Also the society wants us to be efficient parts of it... for the money of course. I also see my psychosis as a gift more than anything else. Nowadays I can go psychotic every time I take certain drugs and I love that fact. I can go there and take a new perspective and then come back and it's like I've learned alot. That is crazy but so am I. :).

[SimulacronX]

BLAH BLAH BLAH people need to get a life regarding Cannabis, make it fucking legal, finally

[threshold79]

i use to get paranoid from smoking weed because it was just plain illegal now doctors have deaned me schizo what do i do they say i have to take medication for the rest of my life i think now that i have to take this medication marijuanna should be legalized to myself

[lianap11]

One joint? That makes my chances of becoming psychotic a gajillion per cent!

Boy am i in trouble!

[Christopher1987uk]

I had my weed laced once, I think it was heroin or some fucked up LSD cos maaan that shit sent me into psychosis for a month, hearing voices and having out of body experiences, shiit the same night I went to sleep started seeing my body like looking at it through a microscope, could see all the blood cells and veins.. shit is not funny got schizophrenia now, if you gona do weed, make sure is good old homegrown and not some genetically modified laced with the shit that made George Bush retarded

[falwk]

@Christopher1987uk

That's called an acute onset of psychosis and you probably got it because you are in the risk zone of developing a mental disorder if you don't already have one.

Go see a physician.

[enigmatically]

I think that if someone is already slightly or somewhat psychotic then pot will exasperate it.

[Zee96969696]

its a gateway to other drugs as far as im concerned

[enigmatically]

@Zee96969696 - do you drink caffeine? pop an asprin? Aren't those gateways to Rx pain killer abuse, benzo abuse, alcoholism and nicotine addiction?

[alexthebabykicker]

@Zee96969696 That's pretty ignorant. If someone wants to try something they will, if they don't, they won't. Saying weed is a gateway drug is just an excuse of why someone tried/does something else. I dropped acid and did ecstasy before I even smoked weed.

[Zee96969696]

@alexthebabykicker ur a moron, u can't even understand what i ment, and u don't know it to be true, i bet drugs made u so fucking stupid, as for what you are saying, you are right, but u are not proving me wrong

[alexthebabykicker]

@Zee96969696 Don't call me a moron when you can't spell or form coherent sentences. I've been sober for three years by the way, and even when I was using drugs I was always on the deans list, so good job at also assuming things. The funniest thing is how you said I'm right but you're not wrong haha. Saying weed is a gateway drug is like saying alcohol is a gateway for gay sex.

[Zee96969696]

alcohol may be a geteway for gay sex for you, but for majority of people alcohol is not a gateway for anything, alot of people's lives get destroyed because of alcohol though. But when it comes to marijuana, me and my friends started smoking weed occasionally, then it escalated to addiction, then weed wasn't enough, most of my friends became addicted to lsd and mdma, i got drug induced psychosis, so i was lucky to get away from drugs, all my friends tryed either mdma, speed or lsd

[alexthebabykicker]

@Zee96969696 I didn't say it was a gateway to gay sex.. that was the point. Lsd is not addictive at all, you actually can't do it at all 2 days after dropping because there will be no effects. Those were your choices, it wasn't because marijuana made you do it, or made you want to. You wanted to do it. There's a reason people do and get addicted to drugs, and that's because they make you feel good that's the end of it.

[Zee96969696]

@alexthebabykicker Marijuana did make me want to do it, i was addicted to it just like I was addicted to nicotine. Even when I realised I was smoking too much weed and it was getting bad and not funny anymore, I still couldn't quit, I had to have it, I wasn't addicted to Lsd or Mdma because I didn't take it that much, If I bacame a regular user, I'm sure I would get addicted to it eventually, but if you want the ultimate high, then just go for heroin, but be carefull, couse you'll probably die

[Zee96969696]

@alexthebabykicker for alot of people marijuana is where the drug life starts, some people are able to quit and some people may only keep smoking marijuana and manage their lives, some take havier drugs and manage to have a life. but for many people experimenting with drugs doesn't end well, drugs are dangerous, not that everyone who does them ends up in a bad place, but large percentage do. and drugs and alcohol fucks people up most of the time, i advise not to get involved in this lifestyle

[guitarisforever1234]

1:20 thats some shitty fucking weed right there.

[CannabisPhilosopher]

He's lying, there's no direct evidence cannabis can cause schitzofrenia or the like.

[drmarrese101]

clear and concise words from that scientist. People will believe what they want to believe, and they wont change their minds until something actually happens to them. Weed is an amazing plant in so many ways, but when it is selectively bred to be super strong it affects people in a different way to normal natural strength weeds. Its true and is not propaganda just simple logic. LIke anything, its always better in moderation.

[Derek4499]

This "psychosis" is a prohibition tactic, it's only people realizing they've been manipulated their whole life so some break down over essentially everything they've ever valued or labeled a goal is a complete, utter waste of time, anything their life could become is soulless and could be replaced with x, y or z with ease.

American parents are sending their kids to mental hospitals everyday over this research because their kids believe 9/11 was fake, or other "conspiracies". It's pathetic.

[LIMPDOOOD435]

i already had psychotic symptoms before i starting smoking but now that i do they drifted away

[VirtuesVigilante]

If this link to psychosis is real can someone post links to the reports so the public can read them. I have been looking for sometime now and any anti cannabis reports are always in theory and without testing. I know guys that have smoked for 40 years and are in a lot better health than a 5 year alcoholic. the danger with smoking cannabis in the UK is this nasty herb replacement soapbar that only exist because people are scared to grow there own natural herb.

[Fogglesworthify]

It's not the cannibus. And i know why. ITS NOT A RISK PYCHOSIS IS GOOD!

[winstonmatthews]

A quote from Keele Uni site!

600,000 patients each year, representing approximately 2.3% of the UK population, aged 16 to 44. Between 1996 and 2005 the incidence and prevalence of schizophrenia and psychoses were either stable or declining.

[123serioussam]

all the people i know around my area that ended up with psycosis were people who already had problems up there already. no disrespect to your theory like.

[Skinless666Baphomet]

@remodelmom Your son went psychotic because of Marijuana? How do you know? There're nothing worse than a stupid tart going on a crusade for the wrong reasons.

[qloudz]

@remodelmom I dont think its the weed, it just sounds like your son is a dipshit.

[TimGranshaw06]

he couldn't be more spot on

[stett99]

yea i take that back someone i been smokin with has gone completely delusional and asked a 16 year old to marry him, never mind ! aha

[stett99]

not gonna lie, its always been the aryan ( blue eyes ) who can handle it

[northoltboy]

@stett99 bullshit im aryan and im still fucked off weed i smoked 3 days ago

[FreedomFighterUK]

Alcohol and virtually all other drugs can trigger underlying mental health problems. Why are they so intent on painting cannabis as the worst of the drugs for this? it is because it is the only 'argument' agianst it they have left?

[Omega3chimp]

the thc?

[FrankieTeaTime]

Cannabis helps the negative symptoms of schizophrenia. It relieves stress and anxiety and the depressed mood schizophrenics suffer. It has never given anyone on the planet schizophrenia. Some people just get it approx. 1%. There has been no increase in psychotic illness even though there has been a huge increase in cannabis consumption.

[spiralcosmosart]

@FrankieTeaTime Cannabis is a nice bandaid. I'll never understand people who can do cannabis on a daily basis non-stop for months and years. I have yet to meet someone who has a stable lucid mind, a functional family relationship, who is athletic and healthy, who does the pot that often. Everyone I've met who smokes that often has shit for short term memory skills and are real irritable assholes when they don't have their weed to calm them. Can you say "Addiction"?

[commiebobo]

@spiralcosmosart However, in taken less often it's no worse than alcohol. Someone who drinks every day is going to have the exact same problems as the people you've described with weed. Everything must be taken with moderation, that's all.

[spiralcosmosart]

@commiebobo: I agree and I think it should atg least as legal as alcohol is legal.

[RollandSmokeAB]

I had a psychotic episode when I was 22. I had been smoking cannabis for 18 months prior. I'm now 40 and looking back on life its obvious to me now that my problems with depression were there, although not understood, well before I started smoking. The cannabis was held fully responsible . I continued to smoke cannabis after a few months of being released from hospital and still do to this day with no adverse affects. All the antidepressants list psychosis as a possable side effect.

[RollandSmokeAB]

I would just like to add though that going through the psychosis was the most terrifying time of my life for both me and my family and my cannabis usage is much more responsible since. less is more with cannabis as the more you use the higher your tollerance.

[RastafariPoet]

Don't know whom they've researched. If it wasnt for Ganja, I wouldnt be opened minded as I am today. I'd probably spend my time glorifiying lame idols. Instead of brilliant ones.

[777neotamakachi777]

@remodelmom I also became schizophrenic from smoking weed, it's sad that the people who commented on this video really believe that it won't happen to them.

Weed won't kill you, but it will make you insane and you will kill yourself.

[Smonjirez]

Well, here's my theory. You don't live in the Netherlands, the country where you live weed is illegal. So you wouldn't have taken weed "just for fun" since it's not available over the counter. More likely, you met some people who where secretly doing drugs, and you felt attracted because of problems in your life and searched a safe place away from your problems. Then you kept repressing your problems, on and on, and one day became schizophrenic. I don't think you can fully blame weed.

[herculese220]

This is BBC propaganda, Alcohol and Tobacco are the real killers, which should be classed worse than they are. The reason Cannabis is banned is because the Marijuana plant, is one of the most versatile plants on the planet, you can make almost anything out of it and we always did, and every single person can grow it very simply. All the special corporate interests are protected by the prohibition, if it was legalised a whole new economy would grow out of it. The law is stupid anyway 80% use it!

[777neotamakachi777]

@herculese220 Oh right, it's a "conspiracy" you know how crazy you are?

[herculese220]

Anybody who has a different perspective on the consensus reality which is supplied propagated and maintained, by the Government and it's media, is always nuts. That's how the system is designed, so we all think the same, and ridicule with Marxist-technique anybody who says different. No recorded death ever attributed to cannabis use. EVER. Fact. Recorded deaths to corporate controlled Alcahol and Tobacco : Worldwide alcohol causes 1.8 million deaths annually, 10 million for tobaco.

[herculese220]

A Harvard Uiversity study released on April 17, 2007 shows that the active ingredient in marijuana, THC, cuts tumor growth in common lung cancer in half and significantly reduces the ability of the cancer to spread!

[herculese220]

Researchers at Harvard tested the chemical THC in both lab and mouse studies. They say this is the first set of experiments to show that the compound, THC actually activates naturally produced receptors to fight off lung cancer. The researchers suggest that THC or other designer agents that activate these receptors might be used in a targeted fashion to treat lung cancer.

[LIMPDOOOD435]

@777neotamakachi777 umm check if you were predisposed because ive have been smoking weed since i was 12 and im 21

[777neotamakachi777]

@LIMPDOOOD435 You may have a point there, I am genetically predisposed to it.

Both my parents smoke chronically and my mother has lost it completely, my father had a schizophrenic episode a year back. (he'd never had one before and he's been smoking for 30 years chronically). I didn't think the genetic thing would affect me but I guess I was just unlucky :)

[Lauzon12]

holy shit i wanna smoke sum of that budd! haha the shit makes you insane!! @#$!%*

[darkstarwood]

ive never heard of any one having a "bad trip" on weed

[777neotamakachi777]

@darkstarwood when last did you leave the house?

[darkstarwood]

ugh this morning smart ass

[saltfan2]

Its simple! THC is stored in the fat and the brain is made of it . Thc inhanses every thing. If you have mental problems it will enhanse them as well. So if you have underlayin scitsofrenia and thc in stored in the brain from abuse you will easyer get triggerd. Thats why it sholdnt be abused ut used with responsebuility.

[winstonmatthews]

What would the Prof reckon on the Keele Uni Study? Which refutes any mental health link like this.

[Freshhhhh1982]

@winstonmatthews One study. Id say hes read more studies on the subject than you've had hot meals.

[greenfiend408]

dammit! i smoked myself crazy

[777neotamakachi777]

@greenfiend408 nuff said

[troglodyte3344]

I smoke the ganja and Im a right nutter! dont mess with me or ill kill you with my nose hairs !

[LokIArioch]

Dicks, its called having a bad trip and that carrying over into your every-day life and you thinking there is now something wrong with you. It happens from time to time. Get over it. I've had a few bad trips wherein I believed I was dying to such a point that my body decided that I was indeed dying, and gave me a little shot of DMT. Not fun at all, terrifying, but no lasting effects whatsoever. Get over your body, you weaklings. And don't poo-poo a plant meant for us because YOU fucked up.

[theghillies]

this happened to me but i had a bad trip then i kept having them till i went into phycosis and was hospitalized for it i just got out of the mental hospital today

[joeybones4]

@theghillies I can relate

[examanator]

Shut up you psychotic retard, we don't wanna hear you if your psychotic still, who let you on a computer? If your normal now, then that one joint didn't make you psychotic retard.

[blazeboy85699]

clearly you are a IN DENIAL weak minded pathetic fuck who chooses to hide from the mountain of evidence thru clinical trials that show that marijuana may cause psychoticism within 2 to 3 experiences with marijuana and sometimes, the first experience. I myself aquired psychotic thoughts, which turned my world upside down and I would not wish it on my worst enemy. I am traumatized from that day. its been 2 years.

[wikichris]

Are you in denial that people injure themselves mountain climbing? I'm certain I can find the name of someone that died the first time they tried rock climbing.

[joeybones4]

@examanator I can relate to this guy, the same thing happened to me. Well, technically it was a lot more than one joint and 30 or so times, but it still happens from one joint from what I've heard.

Don't insult people with cannabis psychosis, life is rough for us

[Derek4499]

@joeybones4 Life is rough for those with psychosis, stop trying to conveniently blame it on cannabis, you could technically get psychosis from over the counter pills which commonly use morphine, codeine, or misc. cocaine compounds, etc etc, and not even addressing the neurological and brain damage associated with synthesized sugars in all candy and a lot of gum, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, microwave radiation, microwaved food, etc. Almost EVERYTHING is worse then cannabis that's not natural.

[joeybones4]

@Derek4499 no i'm positive. I experienced DP/DR every time that I smoked weed, probably about thirty times, and then it just started happening to me spontaneously and still is. I know that weed isn't the only reason that this happened to me, it also has to do with others things that were depressing me at the time, but weed triggered it mixed in with all of this stuff. You wouldn't understand it unless it happened to you.

[Derek4499]

@joeybones4 Again, you're very delusional, yes, dead-set that this is your placebo for why your messed up, but this isn't a little cold, you don't "experience" it, it's a state of mind and a form of mutation in the cerebral cortex, if you are so unlucky to develop such mental illness, it's irreversible. As well, confirming that there were things depressing you, you were predisposed, stop trying to conveniently blame it on a placebo and think logically..

[poepflater]

@Derek4499 There is not a single person out there who is not delusional anymore, we deal with cognative disonance from pseudo democracy to have to climb your way over glue sniffing hobos on the way to work to pay more taxes, in order not to loose that which you have worked for allready. We should all be hopping mad.

[Derek4499]

@poepflater Again, read what I said before, almost all the population succumbs to fast food, both nutritional, dietary, and vitamin supplements, neglect of physical exercise, it's proven it IS THE MAJORITY, so how would the majority NOT have severe problems? Your just proving my point even further, almost any physical or mental disease in the last 3 decades is most likely man-manufactured, meaning ours, and your own fault (preventable).

[Derek4499]

@Derek4499 Of course I meant any "new" physical or mental disease, and if this is terrifying, don't worry, just disconnect yourself from the bread and circus, if you can provide for yourself (grow as much spices, fruits and vegetables possible for your property, support local agriculture before they die off, and guess what, you have 100% natural food without the worry of synthetic drugs, hormones, fillers, nano-bots claiming to just monitor food temperature and quality, etc etc.

[Derek4499]

@joeybones4 ..were you breastfed? Do you eat healthy? Do you consume local agriculture for nutrition or grocery convenience? Do you succumb to eating fast food? Do you exercise daily with at least 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity? If you don't perfectly fit all of these you are already an extremely unhealthy human being, and has no certainty whatsoever that he won't spontaneously die at any moment due to the astronomical potential for possible fatal malfunctions.

[PsychosisUnitFM2]

I agree with you - Professor Robin Murray is an utter idiot - I can vouch for this as I was under his care for 8 months in hospital - he likes to drug people up too much and does not know what he is talking about most of the time - all he is interested in is research not his patients. I have never taken cannabis but agree that it is possible to develop psychosis after one joint

[777neotamakachi777]

@PsychosisUnitFM2 It is possible. though very improbable, I had to smoke weed for just over a year before I became psychotic

[herculese220]

The only clinical trial testing THC as a treatment against cancer growth was a recently completed British pilot study. For three weeks, researchers injected standard doses of THC into mice that had been implanted with human lung cancer cells, and found that tumors were reduced in size and weight by about 50 percent

[superskunkfooker]

@777neotamakachi777

you could become psychotic sitting on Santa Clauses lap

[joeybones4]

@blazeboy85699 I know what you're saying dude. Actually, it's thousands every year, not hundreds. But it's usually not from one joint, though it's still possible.

Often it's after several bad experiences, it took about 30 bad highs and 3 VERY fucked experiences for me to get cannabis psychosis, I'm lucky to have not gotten it earlier.

But yeah, the guy in this video is a moron, because it usually isn't frequent smokers who get it, it's usually people who freak out when they smoke it

[mpat1980]

there can be risks in people who have mental issues anyway but alcohol causes many many more cases of psychosis than weed and we get to choose with that

[b1nphk66]

MY ASS.

i used to smoke pot and i got MAD anxiety from it. it took a week to get over it. i felt disconnected with my surroundings.

ya, there isn't much research, but PLENTY of testimonies from cannabis users who experienced shit from smoking it. i was one of those who had "psychotic" symptoms while on it.. i was dissociative, had some out of body experiences. i continued smoking, giving it no relevance and thinking it quite interesting.

but i stopped.. for obvious reasons.

[nibel13]

If you smoke while knowing youll feel bad youre stupid.

If you are a retard before you smoke, youll prolly be retarded after aswell...

[Vocod3r]

i smoked marijuhana 3 times in my life, on 2 of them i didnt felt anything, on the third try i developed small a psycosys that lasted for almost two months. it was shit.

i didnt have any hallucinations, but i felt like people are against me and hate me cause they think iam not alright and even abused me.

it ended when i start to see friends again, DONT STAY AT HOME WITHOUT FRIENDS!

THIS IS WHAT WILL KEEP YOU INSANE!

you must tell your friends how it happend so they will understand and will...

[Vocod3r]

help you get out of it, in fact if they dont see you differently dont tell them that you became psychotic, just act like them and try to think straight and you will be back to yourself in no time!

i think that this psycosys (if non of your family members have schizophrenia)

is child abuse, i was abused when i was a baby so i dont remember it well andi think that when you smoke weed you open those closed doors...

[Vocod3r]

all those things that your mind couldnt handle back than...

[volcomatic]

erm sorry, and you blame marijuhana for that ? 0o

[degree7]

I think I suffered from this at one point.

After I started smoking, I became paranoid and delusional, while exhibiting symptoms of schizophrenia.

Thank you, weed, for fucking up my life.

[xXKillaBGXx]

You're not alone man. Same thing happened to me.

[degree7]

Damn... it seems a lot of people suffer from this condition. It should be made more aware of.

[degree7]

It was terrible though, wasn't it.

Completely altered my outlook on life. I'm a different person now than who I was before.

[xXKillaBGXx]

It was terrible at the time. I was suffering severe paranoia, anxiety. I did some embarrassing shit and now that I look back at what I did, I feel bad about it, because it ruined a lot of my relationship with people I knew. I'm healing now though.

[LIMPDOOOD435]

@degree7 okay but do you hear shit like people talking to you when their not there and if so do you have a predisposure 

[Atzlann]

the answer is pretty simple. some people's minds are just too weak to handle it. get over it and let me smoke a joint. and everyone on here that's claiming they're psychotic from smoking weed are full of shit or they were already psychotic in the first place. 1/4 of people in the world have mental disorders.

[st3ploxedu]

bs weed 0wns!

[cockeyeronic]

developing minds smokin the nicest skunk about...constantly.. does give ya pschosis...im proof...cant blame it just on the bud though suupose

[madmikeF]

Yeah. My cousin smoked hasch at least 2 times a day for more than a year and he could quit smoking right away.

Check out the weed documentary on the BadassMMA channel.

[sacralith]

Hmm, I find it hard to believe any psychosis is possible unless the joint has been laced with pcp or something. The only thing I could see is maybe if the person smoking was very insecure and the touch of paranoia smokers are prone to pushed them over the edge. In those cases, the person had to be close to that edge anyway. I know of people that can't smoke anymore because of the paranoia and some that smoked thru it but none of them seem to have any lasting negative effects from smoking.

[ryuklover]

Pure THC is the main cause of Psychosis in individuals. But thankfully marijuana contains cannabidiol which helps to lessen the effects of said THC.

[philtomasbrs]

ryuklover

Absolutely right. However it has been proven that skunk has a MASSIVELY reduced amount of cannibinol (which reduces the psychotic properties of THC) and a higher amount of THC.

My point being that retro cannabis like bush and hash doesn't send people mad because it has more cannibinol and less THC.

Skunk on the other hand is nasty.

[MrPragmatism]

philtomasbrs: Where has it been proven that 'skunk' has a " MASSIVELY reduced amount of cannibinol"?? Can you please provide a link for the study? Also you are using the wrong term, "skunk" as you say is in fact called 'Sensimillia'.

'Skunk' is just one strain of Cannabis which can be used safely, there are strains of hash which are stronger than Sensi weed. 'Skunk' can have balanced levels of CBD and THC if grown properly. I don't know where you're getting your information from but its wrong.

[garysvids]

The effects can be further reduced by the none use of marijuana. Thankfully the world contains people with enough intelligence to not smoke this crap.

[AKSSH72]

I smoked and went crazy and I havent been the same since! Whomever you are go back to the plant and revisit whatever issues you have! the plant was pointing them out not giving them to you!

[st3ploxedu]

Lol bullshit. you cant be that way from 1 drag of a jiont your just fuckin wannabe k?

[AKSSH72]

DUDE, I agrre, that was the point!

This person who said this, not me, was obviously who you meant this toward not me PASTURE I Is IN the CHOIR.

Cannabis is the most important medicine on this pplanet! Barnone! please dont misunderstand me!

[AKSSH72]

10,000yrs of a relationship with this plant and this is where we stand? The problem is clear too many people talking and not enough reading! To many opinions gained second hand! Think for yourself because the entire world is full of lies and mistruths brought to an excrutiating climax in this plant! For we she has given man we all should hang are heads down low for allowing this crucifiction to take place! Wake up and educate only you can do it not your teacher not your guru, you! Cannabis HELPS

[jpechuman]

if some one is gonna go crazy from weed they were prolly gonna flip if they had caffiene too.

[spiritprofessor]

Wow he doesn't know shit about Cannabis! Of course all psychiatry is an incompetent way of drugging people with pharmaceuticals. They make alot of money on drugging people. Of course he will be against Cannabis because he could lose his career and then his life would end, then he would have to smoke a joint and understand it is harmless.

THC is one of the best anti-oxidants on earth.

May all psychiatrists wake up!

Namaste.

REGIME- CAN I SMOKE

[getonthewall]

Yeah obv it just reveals it, but that's the point, it triggers something. I agree most people aren't affected by this, but It's important to know that people have been.Weed isn't all easy going and laughs, it can cause serious mental instability.

[getonthewall]

I had a five month psychotic episode after ONE joint. I didn't recognise my mum and dad hen I went home to see them, I couldn't sleep and hen I looked at a clock, it didn't make sense that it was 9pm or 1am it all meant the same and all of this and more for five months. THat's psychosis and it's fucking awful. But it rarely happens after one joint

[Percy203]

dude, I highly doubt that. But if true your a highly unlucky and extremely rare case.

Five months? After three months you can be sure that its nothing to do with cannabis, as after this time its all completely left your system. The cannabis may have been a useful indicator and show that you have a malignant shizotypal disorder however. You should get a check up.

There is not scientific evidence that it causes psychosis. Only reveals an already underlying condition.

[beatfield]

It's called LACED weed. If you had bought it from a government controlled dispensary, this wouldn't have happened.

[ThaPoetess]

the second time i smoked cannabis i went psychotic... or at least i think i did, because i thought i was dying, god was pushing me, i went to hell, my friends were demons, it was raining inside... and the list goes on. I pray i wont become schizophrenic

[M0U53Y]

Sounds like what you had was laced dude, £140's worth of it didn't drive me pshychotic.

[MuskokaLad]

hahaha what?! I thought my cd's sounded cool and Then I played drumms and came up with a wicked improvisation. I would be worried about my general mental health if I were you...stay away from drugs period!

[crazy69er81]

i went into psychosis when i was 15 and 19,i havent touched pot or any drugs since 19.i am 27 now and i still battle problems!

i am starting to develop severe paranoia

Tsome mdma. Works wonders for paranoia and people with PTSD, and will let you see for one night how silly you are to worry about all the things you get paranoid about. It can be very theraputic. Search for MDMA therapy.
