Honestly dude, there telling the truth. I've always defended weed until last night i smoked and had hillusonations and now i have to go to the mental hospital and im Schizophrenic

[chrislovespillz]

i started smoking cannibas at the age of 14 to 23 and trust me it has messed my head up, i have been dignosed with schizophrenia and it is pure hell.... my advice to people is dont smoke cannibas and if your going to smoke cannibas leave it untill your in your 20s so that your brain has already developed, coz thats what fucks u up smoking it at an early age.

what a load of bullshit propaganda. why dont u do some real research that shows how cannabis actually treats schizophrenia. funny how all these medical dicks in this video talk about pure thc, thc is the chemical compound that causes psychoactive effects in cannabis. wheres the mention of CBD(cannabidiol) which acts as a counteract to thc and is used as an anti-psychotic??????????????? dont be fooled people

@MoonShineProds also,if you have enough money,you can buy a air purrifier for your home(which will help clean the air).

@MoonShineProds i agree.You may not be able to change what everybody else does,but you can change what YOU do,and you can speak your opinion.You can tell people not to do drugs(including cannabis,tobacco,alcohol,ect.)­, and to drink water instead of pop,and to eat organic.That's all you can do to help other people.What they do is ultimately their opinion.But the good thing is that you can change what you do.You can start to eat healthy and drink purified water,and not do any drugs and exercise...

@MoonShineProds i Think that if we didn't use any GMO's, and we al used a filter such as zerowater filter, and we all ate organic food and didn't do any drugs(included alcohol,tobacco,cannabis,ect., then i believe that their would be no disorders or the amount of disorders would dramatically drop

@stoxocube18 When i use to smoke it(about 4 years ago), my anxiety would sky rocket, my leg would shake for no reason just because it made me that nervous for no reason.I personally hate the plant/drug, and will never smoke it ever again for the rest of my life(i've been high atleast 130+ times in my life(or something like that),so i know what it's like to be high.)

[18rubiks]

@Thisperspectivesays Just because you think you're smarter when your high,doesn't actually mean that you are smarter when you smoke than when you don't.back in 9th grade when i smoked regularly,i thought it didn't negatively affect me, but i was high the whole time.I've only told a couple people this, but during the period when i smoked(for a couple of months),this voice would make fun of me(like schizophrenia,but once i quit smoking pot for good, the voice finally went away and hasn't came back

Cannabis obviously makes you more aware - you notice more sounds, think more about issues, things taste stronger.... but considering it also makes your interpretation of your senses weaker, it's no wonder people who are high are slower to complete tasks.
