Fair enough, i feel that's something most of us have done at some point.
So stupid, my older brother is in my areas highest mental asylum because he has drug induced schizophrenia which Marijuana had a direct impact on.

I'm sorry man, but that's the second time I've seen you say this. Prove it. How do you know the marijuana had any effect? Millions of people smoke weed and don't get schizophrenia, so I ask you is it more likely that your brother just has schizophrenia or that he is the apparent infinitesimal minority who get schizophrenia from smoking weed.

I'm pretty sure marijuana's been known to trigger schizophrenia in individuals that are predisposed to it, those that have a family history of the disease for example. It's really unfortunate because generally the person who decides to smoke may not be aware of a family history of schizophrenia, or they're unaware of the associated danger with smoking.

[quote]“While cannabis may have an effect on the age of onset of schizophrenia it is unlikely to be the cause of illness,” said the researchers, who were led by Ashley C. Proal from Harvard Medical School.

If marijuana causes Pink Floyd then give me more fucking marijuana please!
If it does not do brain damage, at least do an IQ test of those that smoke it regularly and those that have never smoked it. I think the results will be clear. Education + Regular Weed use = Demotivation = Less brain\intelligence development which is the same as brain-damage, in-regards to the development of the brain.
There's a basic scientific analysis.

I smoke weed occasionally (and I do mean occasionally - a few times a year) and I'm a final year physics undergraduate. If I do say so myself I've only gotten more motivated and better at what I do in recent times (my grades reflect it, too), although that's most likely just coincidence. Regardless, I don't think it's detrimental in the least as long as you use it in moderation (same goes for alcohol, too... and anything else for that matter).

Really through my own research the only thing that journals talk about when speaking about inducing schizophrenia is just it incites it if your mental genes are predisposed with schizophrenia. So it boils down to, if you have it in your family, it will make it worse for the time you are on it, with no significant impact when you are not actively using the drug. For others that it induced schizophrenia, who have no family history of schizophrenia, it's quite literally medical euphemisms for, the individual suffered a paranoia attack while under the influence.
I feel that most weed smokers have had a bad high a few times where they become too self aware or paranoid or panic, but it subsides. But that's anecdotal.
[QUOTE=Zero-Point;44620823]My co-worker had to get custody of his two nephews or they would've been taken by the state. Their mother was a meth-head, whore, and all-around druggie. Her last child was born addicted to Oxycontin, and she chose to give up her two children, the oldest of which was 2, rather than go to rehab and get clean so she could at least ATTEMPT to be a decent mother.
But hey she sure is having fun so who am I to judge.[/QUOTE]
That's a prime example of someone who takes it too far, like way way too far.

Well, if someone drinks alcohol regularly, they are considered an alcoholic, i guess the term regular that i have used implys one being dependent on the drug. Occasional use won't hurt effect you.
