I know you're on a wind up, OP, as you generally are, but please get bored already.

I've had a similar experience as many people in this thread. Smoked as a teenager, quit when I was 20 and I'm so glad I did looking back. It's not even that fun.

that said, I do think the whole "risk of psychosis" thing is dubious. i don't know when the exact studies were (and i'm sure phigure will bother to pubmed it) but i would bet the study that 'proved the link between weed & psychosis' occurred quite a long time ago and the results haven't been fully replicated since. it certainly can push people in that direction though. i've seen peoples' personalities change quite a bit (mainly they turn into greedy druggies) and many people obviously get paranoid. but i seriously doubt that an otherwise normal person has ever gone psychotic purely from smoking weed.

and all that being said, i still think it should be legal and don't really care if other people smoke.

also lol let's have another round of applause for nobody, you've done it again!

I'd rather have a skunk-induced psychosis than a real one.

I assume you smoke a lot of cannabis, whatever makes you happy, but expect mental health issues in the future.
Obviously some people have bad will power but maybe try giving up for a while and see how much clearer your mind is.

Tbh as I think someone said earlier, taking any drug everyday isn't healthy. Also links between weed and various mental disorders have been made before, but even then it's not the sole cause, just increases the risk for some people, same way regularly drinking alcohol can increase some people's likelihood of getting something like liver cancer.

I did quite a bit of weed when I was like 17-20 years old.. There were times when I had some proper stuff in a proper setting and everything was nice and mellow.. but then again there were times when I just fainted in an elevator or just felt generally extremely anxious and disoriented about everything. It's not nice. I also started having anxiety even when I was sober so I quit the damn thing.

but even though I didn't have that good time and I know some ppl who've started smoking daily which lead to harder drugs etc.. I still have plenty of mates who smoke every once in a while and are perfectly fine. so my conclusion would be that it suits other people better than others and especially it suits people who have high self esteem and control over themselves.

but ffs stop treating it like it never did anyone harm
