Has soda ever given anyone schizophrenia (or "uncovered" "latent" schizophrenia in people)? Or has anyone ever caused a car crash from drinking soda prior to driving? Marijuana is way, way more harmful than soda.
- notch656a 4y agoYeah you can get psychosis from too much caffeine. I don't think it 'causes' schizophrenia though. My very low effort researching of fairly low neurotoxicity psychoactive substances like marijuana/LSD/mushrooms is that they're associated with eliciting schizophrenia in those already predisposed? Personally I don't know anyone without a history of family illness that exhibited irreversible mental illness after consuming marijuana. Is it pretty rare? > Or has anyone ever caused a car crash from drinking soda prior to driving? I would say almost certainly yes. For reason of above caffeine induced psychosis. Admittedly it would take a LOT. But some people drink a metric shit-ton of energy soda.
- yamtaddle 4y agoI am 100% sure soda has resulted in an order of magnitude more lost years of life than MJ, total. [EDIT] Or years of health-span, so we make sure we cover severe mental illness being triggered by it. I bet it comes out looking even better by that measure, actually.
- todorus 4y agoWhat's your point? The reason that guns are dangerous isn't schizophrenia either, but we know that they're more dangerous than marijuana as well. Likewise it is quite evident that sugar has been causing way more harm than marijuana, albeit in a different way. If someone close to you had to deal with schizophrenia then I am sorry. It does not however make sugar any less of a danger.
