RE: Weed and psychosis? Advice
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
I got a buddy that has drug induced schizophrenia from meth.
He uses cannabis to medicate and it calms him down way better than any pill they shove down your throat.
He does not smoke high THC strains tho

Thank you for the response about your friend's experience. I'll keep that in mind if she insists she needs to use it.
No problem, Drs will or most will tell you cannabis is bad news but it can and does have many great benefits. as I said I bet she needs some low THC strains and to figure out how to deal with it. MY buddy is still not right but he is better than he was.
Thanks again. Yeah I understand what you mean, it will likely take her a good while to figure what works best. And doctors will be especially cautious about cannabis.
And agreed unfortunately schizophrenia as far as I can tell from online research isn't really curable, just treatable. It's a long journey ahead but in the short term if my friend stabilises and becomes less symptomatic we'll be more optimistic. One problem is she doesn't think she is sick (for want of a better word) so she hasn't yet come to terms with psychotic episodes and/or doesn't remember them. Hopefully the doctors can help her understand so that she can accept it and move forward to a less symptomatic life.
