Cannabis: A precursor of psychosis.

Cannabis is often the precursor of psychosis, especially paranoia. Anecdotally it seems to exacerbate psychotic moods and symptoms. My own view is that it cannot possibly benefit sufferers and it seems risky to prescribe it (if I have correctly understood the summary) at all. I remember Professor Robin Murray saying some years ago that cannabis was implicated in the causation of mental illness. Well, he should know and I don't suppose his views have become obsolete.

  1. As someone who's used and abused cannabis I find your opinion of the research to be faulty.

    Psychiatric research practices are often used to show one side of an argument. Cannabis causes psychosis and mental illness but if it's so bad then why do so many people do it and, importantly, enjoy consuming it. This is true of all psychotropic drugs whether they're prescribed, used or abused. The drug user view is like service user views a hundred years ago: people's own experience and expertise is disegarded.

    Psychiatric focuses on one area without looking at home illegal psychotropics benefit people because they're enforcing a prejudice. The Harvard psylocibin experiment was instigated by the religious and spiritual faculty. I believe it's where Aldus Huxley took mescaline and wrote about the experience in Doors of Perception or Heaven and hell. However it was shutdown by the mental health/psychiatry faculty.

    This stigma has been enforced for several decades and it is a travesty. It misuses science to obscure the truth. The truth is drugs are good and bad. Cannabis enriches many people's lives and it's positive for mental health for that very reason. Yes, it causes psychosis but then the psychiatric idea of psychosis is clearly what drug users are trying to achieve. Hallucinations are a sign of psychosis they're also what some drugs users try to achieve using illegal drugs because it can be fun and interesting.

    There's a high comorbidity of drug use (including alcohol) amongst those diagnosed with schizophrenia but there's also evidence that cannibinols are effective major tranquilisers. The self-medication approach is vlified and demonised by power seeking, prejudice enforcing psychiatrists. They believe the only valuable addiction is one which they prescribe.

    What's perhaps worst is that psychiatrists don't know what the psychotropics they prescribe actually feel like. At least other drug dealers (illegal rather than legal drug dealing psychiatrists) know the effect of the drugs they sell.

  3. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid,,Non Hodgkin Lymphoma,Skin Cancer,Uterine Cancer,Prostate Cancer Dercum,Infertility,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back,Als,SYPHILLIS,Genetic disease,Epilepsy, Parkinson's disease..You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
