Herb gives people schizophrenia
Quote from: BG Rapsodie on May 02, 2012, 08:21:07 PMHerb gives people schizophreniaIt's true that cannabis may trigger latent schizophrenia in very rare cases. Everyone knows this because prohibionists repeat it like a mantra. What's funny is that no one seems to be worried about alcohol doing the very same, even though it has a much larger potential for it (especially during the hangover phase). But alcohol isn't the problem, let alone the destruction of mankind. It's a great solvent, sterilizer, and general cleaning agent. The problem is people who abuse it as an intoxicant. And especially the ones that use being intoxicated as an excuse to behave in ways they never would otherwise.
It's actually not that rare. I know multiple people it happened to. And alcohol related to schizophrenia? News to me. I've never heard of a link between them. I guess its possible, but there's no way there's a larger potential for it, especially not with moderated use. And what would the hangover phase have to do with anything?

But basically a hangover is acetaldehyde poisoning from consuming alcohol at a faster rate than your liver can convert it. Somehow it has to be related to that. True, it's a non-issue with moderate use.But damn you know multiple people who have been diagnozed with schizophrenia which has been triggered by cannabis? Do you work at the psych ward or something? I suppose it's not impossible otherwise either. Schizophrenia is hereditary so if there's one in your family there will likely be more... And if that's the case maybe smoking weed isn't the best idea. But even if you never do you might still go crazy. Because, like Nas said, life's a bitch and... you know the rest.

You've never come at me directly so I don't want to be too much of a dick, but I really don't understand the point of the majority of your posts. I mean, you know for a fact that a good portion of the people on here drink, and yet you make this post (this isn't the first time you've used this quote by the way). Furthermore I don't really see what kind of positive response you could have gotten here either. You are a mystery to me. Also, I believe you spelled "herb" wrong.
Fuck all that noise. There's pros and cons to both, but you gotta control the substance, not let the substance control you. I never heard of weed causing schizophrenia either, but I've seen a few people eat too much weed and they acted like they were seeing things lol
