Does weed cause psychosis? I know that most places on the internet say it doesn't but my OCD always makes me come back to this one thought. I generally have bad thoughts once in a while its been getting better. I read that most serial killers smoked weed. That's what I stress over. I'm afraid I will go crazy someday. Does weed help those people into going crazy or revealing what they are?
Kinda a heavy question there my friend, Ill take a stab at it though. Based solely on personal experience, depends on your weed. When I smoked shit weed I always had thoughts like I was retarded, self doubt and just didnt feel right. When I smoked high grade weed, like drow(whatever they call it in your neck of the woods), I was functional and happy. So maybe your paranoia comes from some dirt weed. *disclaimer* If you still have thoughts of homicide after you smoke some high grade icky sticky icky, then maybe you should just give it up. I dont really care to see you on the news.
Anything could drive you nuts if you let it. I had an herb book many years ago that listed cannabis as cure for boredom and an aid to therapy. And as a matter of fact that is exactly what I use it for, as well as for a change of perspective, welcome distraction, entertainment, creative ideas, etc. If I find I am having negative effects from over-saturation then I take a break... sometimes for months at a time. And btw, all psycho killers ate food and slept and had a mother, so I guess we're all potential psycho killers, hahaha! I suggest you stop taking yourself so seriously and find something to laugh about... yourself for example!
Drugs of any kind can open "gateways" so to speak to different ways of thinking, and for some that "gateway" is very evil
There are no "Gateways." There is what always was...It just woke up for some reason, which is not always drug related, different people have different triggers.
Well what i meant was drugs alter how you think, alter the chemicals in your brain,and could change your perception on things and make you do irrational things you wouldn't normally do.
Most murders are over love and/or money Serial killers are just people that do that shit for a plethra of reasons, none of which have been marijuana use...abusive childhoods normally have more to do with it... Also weed is a common drug being used in america, most killers used it, as well as most non-killers have used it...
Most serial killers tried anything and everything to self-medicate. These days were finding out the stuff that doctors are giving to kids are quite possibly creating the epidemic of "mass shooters" in the country. I'd suggest smoking weed before I'd suggest a prescription for mood altering chemicals that were rushed onto the market without proper testing. Everybody has screwed up thoughts and impulses once in a while. If you're able to distinguish right from wrong and "check yourself", you're probably fine. I would also say that most serial killers and truly evil people exhibited signs at adolescence. If you know what happened to the family dog that disappeared when you were 8, but mom and dad don't- maybe see somebody: but I doubt you're a ticking time bomb that's one joint away from madness.
in my 16 year experience with marijuana, including everyone i know who smokes, my answer should be no however, with my six year experience on a marijuana forum, i will say without a doubt, yes. it's doing something messed up to people's brains.
