The Rec. Drug Thread - FAQ, Q&A, General Information

[HerpaDerp]

Not trying to brag here, but I probably make as much money as both your parents combined and I'm 19 and a "heavy drug user." My job doesn't drug test, I don't get high and go to work, and I don't consider buying a gram of cocaine any more wasteful than going on an expensive date.

It's possible to be responsible with drug use.

how much do you make?

When you say you've done your research, we all know that you really haven't. There are many real studies that show there are negatives to smoking weed. One prominent study i once read in a psychology book shows that the minds of regular pot smokers are similar to that of schizophrenics, and this was in an exam board certified text book.

My mom uses weed as medication for Schizoprenia. I somehow doubt that normal marijuana causes hella problems.

It rarely leads to fatalities but overall if you use it to a minimum you can maximise on the fun-side of it while reducing the chance of getting all the negative effects that come from it.

If you die from marijuana then you weren't smoking marijuana. You likely smoked some synthetic stuff or you dropped your lighter/match on the carpet

I don't know the science behind it but I know she is a whole lot better with it

but it would seem as marijuana is partially a depressant and partially a hallucinogen that she would just hallucinate more

Why would anyone smoke marijuana to treat schizophrenia? Isn't it a psychoactive drug? Doesn't it make all your thoughts and senses more vivid? It doesn't make any sense, if anything it would make schizophrenia worse.

Also most of all how would any doctor prescribe weed for it knowing there is already a lot of evidence to show that it can trigger schizophrenia...

Also not necessarily from overdose, however yes you can od from many new strains of marijuana nowadays because they have a lot more THC

Right now ~60k a year. Since the median household income in America is in the high 50k range, it's about a coin toss whether or not my statement was true.

Are you loving kidding me? Are there people that really belive this stuff? Weed is largely  known as a treatment for a wide variety of mental disorders for it's calming/mood lifting effects. Listen, I don't know where the hell you're getting this "evidence" but weed causing schizophrenia is misinformation that has long since been debunked.

Actually there has always been studies to suggest that there is a link, whether it causes it or triggers it in people who are susceptible is not yet known, but there is definitely a link. Lately a new finding shows that people who start smoking while they're still developing are much more likely to develop the condition later in life.

I'm literally not making stuff up, you just refuse to believe what I'm saying for whatever reason.

I refuse to believe it because it has been proven to be not true time and time again.

[Daswiruch]

machaty it seems like you completely skipped over me in lieu of a known troll, who asked the same question in a less pleasing manner, just to get angry
like seriously it's happened too many loving times and you knew it was gonna happen again
general skips in here, blasts some stuff out of his ass, and you guys take the bait so easily
stop arguing with him

It has also been proven to be true time and time again and you cannot deny that.

Daswiruch is completely right. You have to be trolling, I refuse to believe anyone is this stupid. It USED to be thought that there was a connection between weed and schizophrenia, but then Harvard and the likes disproved it.

[General]

If it is in fact incorrect information, it's going to have to take a lot more findings to disprove it. You cannot out-rule a possibility after only a few recent findings over older ones especially since they are all observational studies.
