Hey guys, sup everyone?

I smoke every day, i have a 3 bongs, 4 pipes, and a collection of rolling papers, i'm no pro, but i am constantly getting into arguments with my parents, i prove them wrong about all the lies they believe (Weed causes cancer, it causes schizophrenia, etc...)

But the one thing i can't shake is the whole 'psychosis' thing.

Almost everywhere i look, it says that weed causes psychosis... Is it talking about in the short term (When you're high as fuck) or in the long term (Affects you forever, no turning back)

Thanks for your help guys :)

THC is a psychotropic drug, so the effects are technically a type of chemical-induced psychosis. It's a flimsy excuse and just another example of the doublespeak used to confuse people about the real plant.

jonblaze420 beat me to it - if you have a predisposition to mental problems then it can be triggered by smoking weed, yes.

I smoke all day every day. I'm bi-polar with schizoaffective disorder, intermittent explosive disorder, self-mutilation syndrome, borderline and anti-social personality disorders, general and social anxiety disorders, and I'm just generally mean.

Until I smoke my medicine, then I'm pretty balanced.

Sure, if by blow things up you mean lose my temper and fly into a destructive rage over stupid reasons at the drop of a hat.
no offense but i'm pretty sure they invented that 'disorder'. it sounds like a spoiled baby having a temper tantrum. can you explain more? :mrgreen: :roll:
