Can Pot Lead To Insanity?

Having a discusion over at watmm... but I want your guys
advice as well...

can pot lead to permanent insanity?

I ask, because when ever I smoke, I just go nuts. I scream
alot, and ramble on about complete jibberish, and just
generally, I feel like this is what insanity feels like.

My friends just laugh... but do you think it could lead to
something bad?

I only smoke like 3, sometimes 4 times a month... but
everytime I smoke, its like I get more nutso.

thoughts?

This is nothing new. Remember the black n white film "reefer
madness"

I think, yes it can cause problems for some people, but put
in perspective, I think alcohol can do more damage... I mean
how many mad homeless people are stoners rather than
alcoholics?

wow thats pretty scary. i've never heard of those effects
before. as far as i know, you cant go insane from pot but
dont take my word for it. i would go to the shroomery forums
and ask this in general questions.

Yeah there is rare cases of people kind of dissapering into
a psychosis.
I know a guy who used to be a really funny and cool person
who now can't even remember his own name. Sad.
Maybe it is dangerous if you alredy have mental problems ? i
don't know.

It is proven that in people with a pre disposition to
depression it can trigger attacks. It is also known to
trigger psychosis on occasions, but other than the risk of
lung related disease I don't think there are any recognised
long term mental effects.

Obviously with any drug people can suffer from side effects,
but every one talks shit when they are smoking weed :D

Probably not...I know loads of people who go strange when
they smoke weed. One of my mates goes through an entire
exercise routine. Makes a cup of tea...sits down, starts
talking about shit and falls to sleep. Same every single
time

Do you have diagnosed clinical depression or "i don't feel
to happy today" kind of depression? If it is clinical you
should stay the fuck away from weed.

my estranged Pops, who has smoked pot for 40 years straight,
is the most laziest bastard i know but he has a lot of
freinds, has a sweet life with low rent in Paris and is a
fucking helluva nice, chiiled out dude.

I´d rather be a decent father to my kids if i ever have
them though, so i gave up.

pot can make you paranoid, which can make you go mad if you
don;t controll it, but that goes for pretty much most drugs

I know a girl who won't leave the house on her own cause she
gets so stressed out, all due to pot.

I get noidy sometimes too ! I hate going to the bathroom on
my own cause I spin myself out. I know it's just me though,
which is where the line is drawn.

I don't actualy belive that a giant spider is going to come
up and bite my bum, I just think about it............. (did
I just think that or actually say it =os)

smoking dope with depression is a BAD idea, especialy of
your on medication.

You get to thinking when your stoned, and things can get out
of hand

it can trigger schizophrenia, that was the conclusion of a

imo opinion that research ain't quite conclusive, just so
happens that weed is a common factor associated with
schizophrenia etc. ... lots of other variables not accounted
for .. that aside - it is worth keepin in
mind. schizophrenia isn't usually that pleasant an illness
:/

Basically, if you feel it is not doing you any good, stop.
It's not for everyone. A couple of my friends don't smoke
pot any more coz they found the negative effects outweighed
the positive. They don't have an issue with me smoking with
them there and I respect them for stopping.

But if I don't drink and drive then how the fuck am I gone
get home?
I can't stop smokin weed cause I ain't no quitter
But since it's killin my brain cells maybe I should
reconsider (You wouldn't

Nah, but all the non-fixture niggas is you in here?"

will smoking pot cause you to go permanently insane?

short answer, no with a but....

long answer, yes with an if....

A much more reliable way to go insane is to avoid food and
sleep. I think you can pemanently damage your
neurochemistry, or at least trigger an underlying problem,
by doing this. I've watched it happen several times. Of
course not eating or sleeping could be a symptom more than a
cause... IANAMD

In any case you should avoid marijuana. It makes you
chronically stupid and lazy.

In any case you should avoid being alive. It makes you

it's important to recognize that many sources of information
about the effects of cannabis on humans are fueled by
unacknowledged political motivations. a good reference for
information is "marijuana myths marijuana facts" by lynn
zimmer, phd and john morgan, md. it is concerned with
scientific evidence and dispenses with the urban myths and
rumor mongering.
is cannabis bad for you? the answer is, "who are you?"

Ladies and gentlemen, this is your brain on drugs.

When you "come down" from your "reefer buzz", you may notice
that television and donuts actually do make you
chronically stupid and lazy, whereas dead people are much
less active and intelligent than the living.

When I first met you, didn't realize
I can't forget you, for your surprise
you introduced me, to my mind
And left me wanting, you and your kind

I love you, Oh you know it

My life was empty, forever on a down
Until you took me, showed me around
My life is free now, my life is clear
I love you sweet leaf, though you can't hear

Come on now, try it out

Straight people don't know, what you're about
They put you down and shut you out
you gave to me a new belief
and soon the world will love you sweet leaf

That is also not true. Thats like killing someone and you
blame the gun for it. The point is, the murderer is at
fault, not the gun he used.
