[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 534293, member: 7170"] At compassion club meetings I've witnessed some very heated debates over full legalization come to a halt when schizophrenia enters the discussion. I have no idea if it happens to some people with the illness or everyone with the illness but marijuana has been known to bring on psychosis in people with schizophrenia; seems to override their antipsychotic medication in many cases. Knowing now that my girls father was diagnosis with schizophrenia I found this news very unsettling. I've discussed my concerns with my girls and they seem to understand why I insist if they sneek off and experiment they will put me on the phone with who ever is with them before hand so that person knows its safe to have me come get my kid help without them getting busted. My girls are afraid to try it at this point. Your son is already smoking it and it doesn't seem to be causing psychosis - if a doctor prescribes it and it is acquired legally it will no longer be a social isolating issue. Here compassion clubs are huge social organizations, they have picnics and all kinds of social events. I know my medicine helps me and anyone ?s my right to my mmj card gets met with a confused question on why should I finance the black market to get my medicine? Not sure if this helped or confused you more anyway I just came out of the closet LOL... adding on edit - strain could be the whole difference if doctor could direct him away from the strain that causes psychosis he would be less likely to get in trouble (with street pot who knows what it is)... please back channel and let me know what strain the doctor recommends for him [/QUOTE]
