Hi everyone, I didn't exactly know where to post this but I think I'm in the right place. Hopefully someone with an understanding of the way the brain and body works would be able to help me out. I have had drug induced psychosis twice in my life. I'm 23 and the first time it happened was almost 4 years ago. The thing that triggered it was a long period (2 years) of smoking weed and and a few times smoking spice. It put me into a deep state of paranoia, schizophrenia, crazy delusions and much more. It took me almost a year of counciling and medication to get over it. The second time it happened was last year while I was living in the Netherlands, and was triggered by smoking copious amounts of weed on the daily for 2 years and eventually after taking a lot of psychedelics like lsd, mushrooms and a host of other drugs throughout a 7 month period. In the Netherlands I was induced in a loony bin for 2 months until the delusions and hallucinations disappeared. The doctors say that I am under no circumstances allowed to take drugs again otherwise the psychosis can be permanent and i could end up in a psych ward for the rest of your life.
I've been sober for a year now, but my love for weed still hasn't died. Mostly for the pure fact that when I am high I'm much more comfortable around people, my mood is always much better and I'm not remotely as depressed as I am now. I have been doing some research of the medical effects of CBD oil and it's benefit on preventing and curing psychosis, which includes schizophrenia, bipolar, paranoia etc.
I'm very curious if I was to take cbd oil regularly and still be able to smoke weed without triggering something psychotic within myself. Would it be possible to prevent psychosis by smoking weed and taking cbd oil? It does sound like a rather dodgy solution but maybe it could work? CBD oil has proven to be very affective with treating psychosis, and many studies and experiments have been taken to back it up. But would it help in preventing psychosis while I still use weed and other drugs? Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
