New research has found little link between marijuana use and schizophrenia, contrary to previous studies that suggested pot-smoking adolescents were at greater risk of developing the mental illness.

A recent study conducted at Harvard Medical School compared families with a history of schizophrenia and those without such a history, and it’s the first family study to examine non-psychotic cannabis users and non-cannabis users as independent sample groups.

While marijuana use seemed to have an effect on the age of onset for schizophrenia, researchers found that family risk was the crucial underlying factor.

“The results of the current study suggest that having an increased familial morbid risk for schizophrenia may be the underlying basis for schizophrenia in cannabis users and not cannabis use by itself,” the researchers found.

It's an abomination how many retards felt anxiety, "like they were losing their minds", during the acute effects of the drug and, like the pretentious imbeciles they are, thought they were becoming psychotic/schizo. They have defiled science once again to trick a new generation of propaganda anal-fisting fuck puppets into thinking weed isn't safe. Too bad few will see or listen to this study because our tax dollars and funding from the alcohol and tobacco industries won't be used to advertise it.
 
^ ...? People aren't retards for thinking that way... Have you been in that situation where you think your own mind is turning on you? I seriously don't think you have, clearly, otherwise you wouldn't be so harsh about it.

And it is all about reception, if you don't think enough people are reading this study, send it forward and send it to other people to read. I didn't get your thing about the puppets, that just got excessive. They have a hand halfway up their ribcage every day, leave it off.

A lot of people do suffer from anxiety though, I feel a lot of relief from this article, seriously 23536 I really do thank you for putting this up, this was a terrific read and it's provided me with a lot of clarity tonight. :)

I have experienced a plethora mind-raping anxiety and paranoia ridden situations from various substances including non-psychedelic hallucinations but I never thought mind mind was turning on me since I am my mind and that makes no sense. Even if you experience a terrifying false reality during the acute effects of a drug that is completely different from a permanent, serious disorder like schizophrenia. People are being tricked into thinking their simplified misinterpretation of psychiatry that serves industry interests are legitimate. I am sick of self-diagnosing armchair psychiatrists.

Also what you said about reception is nonsense as major media outlets reach millions of people and can only be bought for enormous sums of cash. I would need an army of thousands of activists working constantly to even approach that.
 
Just a question: If someone has a persistent, debilitating delusion that he is psychotic, is he not actually psychotic?
 
Good news, I've wondered if these rumors were true or not since I started smoking

And great question numbers I've wonder that as well. What makes some people constantly question whether they are crazy or not?

Had a girl friend like this and a couple friends and there relitives. Some I know for a fact suffer from schizophrenia. Good post
 
if you have the schizo gene then smoking pot in your teens can bring it out but weed doesn't outright cause schizophrenia
 
Re:23536
I would say yes. Isn't that derealisation or something? Misinterpreting reality as hallucination?
