Thread: Pot makes you psycho!!

  1. #21
    Heres what the results of that study actually mean.
    For every 100 people in the general population, about 1 has schizophrenia.
    For every 100 people who've smoked pot (as defined by the survey), 2 are schizophrenic.
    Saying 1% of the general population comes down with schizophrenia is not the same thing as saying the average person has a 1% chance of getting the disease. The risk factor isn't evenly distrubuted through the population, and some people have a much higher risk than others. Many people who develop the disease show warning signs in early childhood, long before they ever get the chance to do any sort of drug.
    Also, its well known from self reports of people going through treatment for schizophrenia that many of them use drugs and alcohol to help them cope with their symptoms.

    So no, smoking a J every now and then won't make you go crazy. They're also very little evidence that it increases your risk of lung cancer.
    And if your worried about that, get a vaporizor, or make some brownies.
    And FYI, I hate the effects of weed, but its about the most benign recreational drug you can do.

    This is the better choice. Expensive but worth it. Brownies are inefficient.

    I try to keep my min/maxing to MMOs and other video games. My recreational drug use, I'm a bit more casual.

    Yea but pot costs add up. If you can save some cash, you can buy other stuff! Like more pot!

    I find the smell rather pleasent. However, tobacco smoke makes we want to puke. The smell is everywhere and its disgusting!

    I actually like the smell of a burning cigarette, but the smell on people after they smoke is the most disgusting thing ever. Since people who smoke lose their sense of smell, they usually have no clue how horrible the smell is.
