The evidence linking cannabis use to psychotic disorders is considered strong enough to warrant a public health warning. Get the preface for Dr. Greger’s …
You say there is a gene that kids can get that increasese the chances of them smoking pot. You then say that these kids have a hugher rate if schiz. You then say it supports cause and effect in dev of schiz…. but from this video, there is clearly no evidence to support that. It could simply be that the same gene makes the kids more susceptible to schiz, and it has nothing to do w pot…. pls can you explain? Many thx.
Bottom line if you have a family history of psychotic disorders you shouldn't use marijuana.
I was diagnosed with a mental disorder after being hospitalized twice, a year apart. Schizoeffective disorder. Both times I was smoking marijuana prior to psychosis and it may have been a contributing factor. After being released from the hospital I smoked some and immediately felt paranoid and started having delusions to the point I left a movie at theatre early thinking the story was about me in some way. So I quit smoking and symptoms subsided.
However, roughly a year after my last psychosis I went back to smoking weed and didn't experience the negative symptoms. Only when I smoked it close to my psychosis.did it seem to retrigger it. I smoked marijuana for a year with no issues and possibly the shot I get every three months helped.
Based on my experience I would avoid heavy marijuana use, like multiple times per day, month on end. Once a week probably not so bad but anything in excess could be bad for you. I have stopped smoking weed and don't see myself going back.
I never experienced any psychotic or paranoid thoughts until i started smoking marijuana. I feel like if i kept using i'd be psychotic
My brother has schizophrenia despite him not accepting that. I like him when he smokes because he is chill and maybe we can watch a movie or something. When he is not smoking i spend my whole evening with him trying to keep him calm about world takeover conspiracies and the demons that are after him, all while listening to how stupid i am for not agreeing and seeing "the truth".
I always have weed now if i am meeting him, for my own sanity.
Is there any link with CBD oil?
Yes, Marijuana causes Psychosis in some susceptible people in the population
I don't partake because it removes all Empathy, that I may have, for other humans, and I start to wonder what their
facial expressions look like when I introduce a claw hammer to their brains
Not a normal thought ………….so i don't partake ! So I am one such susceptible person, from a personal vantage point
ADHD is the most dangerous of Mental Disorders, because you look Normal, but are unable to think rationally, see Donald J Trump
Although cognitively damaged, others will allow you to ascend to positions of power and authority over millions
You discount the prospective future outcomes to have Zero value, so you use Nukes on your enemies, and start WW3; your main concern being whats for Diner Among other things !
Schizophrenia is the most damaging Mental disorder on an Individual level, but you have little ability to cause the deaths of
many more people, because nobody lets you get entitled to any power as your seen as "crazy" !
Cannabis is not addictive… geez!
I agree 100% with this study as I have experienced a lot of what is mentioned.

Thank you for this!!!
Several things can be true at the same time. You should be legally allowed to use drugs, but you shouldn't actually use drugs. Cannabis could contribute to schizophrenia, but schizophrenia rates could be declining as Cannabis use increases, because there are other potentially contributing factors that explain why schizophrenia rates are decreasing.
Some people cant handle things. Some do and love it. There is no blanket rule.
You can’t become “addicted “ to cannabis. It’s not possible to be physiologically addicted to it. So that last statement is completely false and this whole video is filled with contradictions. The more likely problem is Dr’s and big pharma want to put young kids on drugs because they can’t sit still in class. Cannabis has been used for thousands of years. Not just since the 60’s. Lol.
I think I’m going crazy. I’ve been having auditory hallucinations and I keep walking to places for no apparent reason. Idk if I just forget what I’m going for or what but I’m going crazy. Maybe I should quit smoking lol.
Didnt talk about have grower spray (not fit for human consumption florist grade pesticides on the crops) due to non regulated farming practices aka illegality of it
And also the fact that smokers often do end up calorie restricting that can break the mind and add extra stress leading to or setting off schizophrenia
White rice, durum pasta and table sugar for vegans who are failing at getting calories ya nut munching oil guzzlers ;P xox
I don't think pot causes Schizophrenia, i think it awakens suppressed memories, and the scarier those memories are the higher the risk of psychosis. I think legalising this drug is a very bad idea for that reason, who would know if they had suppressed memories until it's too late? I heard an interview once with an ex freemason who revealed that one of the strict rules of being in any secret society was that they were never to smoke pot because it breaks down the walls between their secret life and there everyday life making it impossible to keep the two separate. being an ex smoker myself i can attest that this is true and its what causes paranoia. Paranoia arose when all my separate worlds became one, i no longer knew how to act around the people i was with and i believed they could tell i was a fraud. Now with THC levels increasing dramatically and CBD levels falling this will only increase this effect in people i believe.
its a very dangerous drug and should never be smoked unless you have a clear understanding of how the world works and your place in it.
Dr. Greggor, please do not call individuals with schizophrenia “crazy” how outdated of you… :/
Try to go for high cbd strains. Also if you are looking to use MJ as a drug take a shamanic approach and set an intention to heal or whatever you need. It will change your high, they may not all be chill because youre asking for the shadow and repressed emotions and feelongs to come forth so just be aware.
I've smoked pot every day for 40 years.. I have a great career, great life… Dr Greger, I usually love your stuff, but youre out to lunch on this subject… some of your videos seems like they are straight out of a Reefer Madness trailer… selective research youre reading on this one…
All the people who claim weed is "safe" really need to stop and look at the science. A doubling of psychosis is huge. There aren't many substances that can double your risk, so why not take this seriously?
It can cause schizophrenia, but it can also cause enlightment! A reorganization of one's life. Great acknowledgements can be gained from psychedelic teachers… 😉
Does schizophrenia cause marijuana? :)))
I had horrific experiences using marijuana. I strongly agree that cannabis should come with a health warning.
Every person I know that uses weed regularly is not very intelligent, very slow to grasp things and very unmotivated.
Schizophrenia and psychotic disorders are a very complex problem in the brain which would almost never come from a single cause…..just like other problems in the brain there are so many factors to take into account…
…it doesn't surprise me AT ALL as a recovering psychotic that cannabis use and schizophrenia have an association…..those who use are way more likely to reject society's norms and seek creative and alternative ways of thinking but there is a price you mist pay for straying away from norms of thinking…
….the norms are normal for a reason: it makes it easier to comprehend what you think about and to accomplish what you are trying to acomplish…
….psychotics are often frustrated minds who began to think in different ways than what they were taught to and began to try and a complish different things than what they were taught to…..but it's so easy to lose control over your own mind
….other people simply lose control even though they were seemingly "normal" because they perhaps had louder voices in their head than other "normal" people. Everyone has "voices" in their head but most people never have to label any of these voices as "foreign".
My girlfriend turned full retard from pot
good video, but maybe avoid using "going crazy" to describe someone with a mental illness, that can be really hurtful, and just made you sound much less credible — just a tip for the future.
We've got a bunch of marijuana videos out now. They can all be found in the playlist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FGmY7sjENjE&list=PL5TLzNi5fYd_2PnLCcEQcdYl3wt8ylsmA. -NF Team
