“It’s best to avoid the schizophrenia topic...once you figure out 3.5-million Americans have it, there’s not much the police or authorities can do...except just play ‘anything can happen’ game.”
Marijuana started it.
Schizophrenia, among other psychoactive effects is part of its game.
diabetics, those allergic to shellfish, pacemaker folks, all kinds of medical risk people wear medical id bracelets.
Maybe the head docs need to encourage disassociative personality disorder people to wear one, too. Or the nonprofits that are soliciting money for ‘the cause’ should hand them out free. That way, ER doctors (and cops) have some sort of clue they’re not just dealing with a stoner on flakka
No doubt. But with legal marijuana sales surging, there’s more of schizophrenia coming, NOT less. I’d expect over the next decade for doubling of cases.
“Marijuana started it.”
False. ‘while marijuana went from being a secret shared by a small community of hepcats and beatniks in the 1940s and ‘50s to a rite of passage for some 70% of youth by the turn of the century, rates of schizophrenia in the U.S. have remained flat, or possibly declined. For as long as it has been tracked, schizophrenia has been found to affect about 1% of the population.’ - http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2005559,00.html
I have decided to be civil.
Pot does not cause any psychiatric disorder, especially schizophrenia.
You are born with schizophrenia.
Marijuana may enhance the effects of it, but on its own does not cause it.
Another poster said that if he was just left alone to smoke his dope this would not have happened. The poster was being sarcastic.
But, it does not matter how you feel about pot, the statement is factual, and if he was not driving or bothering anyone, why was he arrested for simple possession?
