I have never experienced this. Marijuana can exacerbate existing schizophrenia or expose it. If you hear voices after consuming it, I would talk to a doctor. It can be a quite strong drug, but it does not typically cause clear, audial hallucinations. (I would more describe it as distorting and/or decomposing the audio perception, kind of like the visuals you get from lsd. Pretty, but certainly not meaningful by itself.)
But, I've watched someone go through a psychotic breakdown when smoking weed the first time. They were not aware of their family history of schizophrenia until after that happened and they asked around. Be careful. :)
- codeshaman 11y agoIt's not necessarily 'that' kind of voice. We all have a little voice in our heads. If you haven't noticed it, it's the voice that said 'what voice?' right now. It's the voice we're in a perpetual dialog with all the time. Somehow 'that' voice is not you - it's something you're talking to, it examines and comments everything you do, it gives you advice, but you are not it. When you use a drug, 'you' stay the same, it's 'that' voice which is affected by it.
