You were diagnosed with psychosis from merijuana?

Then, if you smoke, you'll suffer from psychosis again.  Did you do research as to what psychosis is, how it evolves, and how bad it can get?  You need to look at your family and see if they have any mental illnesses.

But honestly, look up psychosis and do your research.  A sever case can be a horrible way to live.

If you cant stop smoking due to a mental illnes and you want to take the risk, you should go into addiction counseling first.

Also, look into pschizophrenia and merijuanna use in young adults.

You wont find very much information in regards to developmental issues and the use of drugs.

The theory is that the brain develops as you get older, and if you introduce a chemical constantly to the brain, the brain wont develop as well or as it could, because it designed and developed itself under the use of something that shouldnt be there.  It changes how it functions.  Its why antidepressents are bad for children.  From my understanding.

Good luck, and dont end up in a psych ward!  Those places arn't fun.


A metaphore:
Developing mental illness is like falling asleep.  You can never tell where it happened and the only way you knew you were asleep is when you wake up.  Some people never wake up, or are unable to.
