There is a young lady who is very close to me who has had her life fucked up by (in my opinion) cannabis. There is no history of mental illness anywhere in her family. She smoked skunk in her teens. My opinion is obviously going to be shaped by that.
I know we had a similar thread couple of years ago.
And I made a similar comment then.
I knew someone who smoked High Grade and got seriously messed up in the head from it, though they did have a family history of mental illness and it seemed that the weed was a catalyst for episodes of psychiatric problems, rather than an original cause.
A doctor friend told me that there were numerous people in hospital wards with psychiatric problems brought on by weed, but I have no figures to back it up, only his observation.
I also know people who smoke it and hold down jobs and have regular family lives, perhaps they are more forgetful than others though?
Guess some people are more susceptible to it's side effects than others.
