Schizophrenia

Because people are saying you're an Idiot. Marijuana smoke burns the microvilli on the inside of your lungs and if you burn the microvilli for long enough your body just says fuck it and stops growing it back, and then turns into a hardened surface that can become cancerous, But apparently I'm an idiot for knowing that.

1. No people are saying that youre an idiot
2. There are alternatives to smoking marijuana that dont harm your lungs

1. learn to read.
2. No one is going to cook a pot brownie every time they want to get high. However, you could pay the big bucks and buy a vaporizer.

DuuuHHHHhh

He knows more than a little shit like you

nononononono i agree, that's 100% true. im saying you're an idiot for saying that's all smoking can lead to. it is definitely related to mental problems in some people

Does being a dumbass count as a mental problem?

Exhibit A) zzzskizzz

A low iq, usually in the range of around 70 and below, is considered mental retardation

I finally understand why you chose the number 69 for your username.

evidently it does

I don't smoke weed and my IQ is over 9000 so your argument is invalid.

You should be a comedian. Seriously

I haven't seen any official research and a copy paste off the Internet does not qualify. Amotivational marijuana syndrome has been the only real mental illness caused by marijuana That I have actually seen Research done on, Because if what you say is true then Colorado should have a bunch of schizophrenic people coming up in the next couple years.

loooool

Hate to tell you but most of the copy and pasted stuff WAS research, and from reputable sources. There are hundreds of researchs that have shown its likely weed can help / cause many mental sufferings to some people. There just arent any that 100% prove it. So people chose to ignore the possibility. If you actually look at the behaviors of people who smoke weed and look up some of the reaserch it can be pretty accurate.

Keyword: seen

Its definitely out there you just dont have access to it.

thank you.

@zzzzskiszzzzzz or whatever the fuck you're called, im not saying smoking weed will make you schizophrenic. that's fucking stupid. im saying that it can make conditions worse/ more pronounced if they're already there. and just because someone has never experienced it doesn't mean its not "there". they could go there whole lives not experiencing it, but smoking can make it worse

My friend has schitzophrenia and he keeps wanting me to sell him an oz of bud and he wants to give me $300 for an ounce. Of course I dont want to give him the ounce but every time I tell him I dont think its best he get so damn mad and freaks out.

From harvard health blog
"weed is good yaaa"
that copy and pasted stuff was also researched.

no that's not how you do it. you would say
marijuana can effect the air way then post the study

Abstract
Several substances besides tobacco are inhaled for recreational purposes, including marijuana, crack cocaine, amyl and butyl nitrites, heroin, methamphetamine, and phencyclidine. Abuse of most of these inhaled substances has risen in recent years, thereby increasing concern about potential pulmonary and other medical complications. Regular marijuana use can lead to extensive airway injury and alterations in the structure and function of alveolar macrophages, potentially predisposing to pulmonary infection and respiratory cancer. Crack cocaine use can lead to a variety of acute pulmonary complications, including severe exacerbations of asthma and an acute lung injury syndrome associated with a broad spectrum of histopathologic changes ("crack lung"). Habitual cocaine smoking may also produce more subtle long-term pulmonary consequences due to chronic alveolar epithelial and microvascular lung injury. Heroin inhalation can induce severe and even fatal exacerbations of asthma. Pulmonary consequences of inhaled amyl and butyl nitrites, crystalline methamphetamine (ice), and phencyclidine have been less well documented.

then post the link http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11224724

I don't have a PHD in the matter and i didn't claim to, but i have two professors who are doctors and 2 of them do have phd's (although one was in nutrition so i don't think that counts)and i talked to them a lot about medical things from marijuana effects to mdma effects to why they leave out vitamins b8-11 and skip to b-12. so being that one of them actually did research on thc's effect on the brain and worked for the magnetic resonance research center. he would give people thc and put them in an mri and look at their brain so i like to think i have a little knowledge on the matter. should you give a Schizophrenic weed, no it would probably make it worse, but i like to think i know what im talking about.

so good day sir im out of this stupid fucking thread.

This has nothing to do with the medical benefits of marijuana. Weve already covered the fact that marijuana can cause lung cancer.

dude no one gives a shit who you know, i know a few people with/ doing phd's, doesn't mean i'm an expert in their fields. you just spouted a heap of shit about breathing problems that which has nothing to do with this thread. everyone knows smoking is bad for your breathing, you're not going to get a fucking nobel prize for that one.

your last sentence just reinforced exactly what i and other people have been saying, weed can make mental problems worse. you were the only one who mentioned breathing problems. take your straw man and get out.

...So it increases the chances of triggering schizophrenia....

People who abuse drugs most likely do it because of a psychological disorder, its a form of self medicating. you can't blame cannabis for causing psychosis. Even more people abuse alcohol and there are the same statistics with alcohol abuse correlation to mental disorders. Drugs don't cause schitzophrenia its genetic.

your right i think everyone who smokes weed does it because they have a mental disorder, not because they enjoy being high....

are you being sarcastic? because I enjoy being stoned I enjoy being stoned and that is the reason people keep smoking it feels good and for some it turns into a form of self medication.Genetics is definitely only a factor, but saying marijuana gives, or causes a mental illness is stupid. Enough of these reefer madness ideas and theories.

I closest friend is a diagnosed schizophrenic. He has a milder version of it. He says its like a firestorm in his head. Although his mind is full of violence, he is the most restrained individual I have ever met. His meds help a lot so as the pot.

It pisses me off when people try to push to ban combat sports such as ultimate fighting. Those kind of sports is what that guy needs to deal with his disorder. He develops focus, strength and calms his mind when he trains.
