People take cannabis to help them manage the effects of schizophrenia but corrupt media used to play it other way around. Cannabis causes schizophrenia! If there was justice in this world, then all the editors allowing this should rot in jail.
- ejolto 7y agoDude. CBD is antipsychotic[1] and thus might help people with schizophrenia. THC is psychoactive [2] and should probably be avoided by people with schizophrenia.

- awelkie 7y agoI think that's what the poster is saying. I believe "Cannabis causes schizophrenia!" should be in quotes.
- kdmccormick 7y agoYes, but the replier is saying that THC, the primary active compound in Cannabis, can in fact worsen some of the symptoms of schizophrenia. As someone with Type I Bipolar, which has many similarities to schizophrenia, I agree that this is often the case.
- ejolto 7y agoThis is exactly what I meant. Thanks for sharing your experience.
- intricatedetail 7y agoThat's why it should be legal so people who need it won't have to fiddle with the dealers. Obviously big pharma pays a lot so that won't happen.
- kdmccormick 7y agoI'm 100% with you there.
