Look man, you smoked hella weed, you got REALLLY fucked up, and after that you were faded

Being faded is something that will occasionally happen, in the last year its happened twice. After a long smoking session or repeat bowl hits you feel the effects the next day, you cant pay attention, everything is fuzzy, you feel somewhat high still or at least the being stupid effects of being high... Like I said it's uncommon and weird

I remember when i first started smoking, about 3 months later I felt I was pretty used to being high and on my shit, I'd toke up with my buddies like every other day for an hour... Anyway i got some nice purples and we got a grape swisher sweet and rolled a nice blunt and hotboxed it. Mann I was SOO high, cars were freaking me out I was scared shitless, when we turned I could feel my brain being squished in my skull. I had my friend drop me off a mile from my house because I couldnt handle being in a car anymore and I sat on the curb at the gas station freakin out and I finally got up and staggered home. Dont remember what happened after that - it was kind of like an anxiety attack, which I used to have when i was  a kid maybe thats it

But bottom line, that crazy highness happened after like a .7 blunt and a few bong hits and I've smoked WAY more in sessions and that shit never happened, and then once I was faded for  4 days and the other like 6... Just dont smoke weed when your faded, it's good practice.. and it goes away homie

Never met people that went crazy from smoking herb or know of anyone who has, people whove smoked at least every other day for 20 years

I have, at least ended up permanently mind-fucked to a greater or lesser extent.

It's a scientific fact that if your prone to schizophrenia that smoking cannabis can basically wake that in your brain... But experts say it was inevitable but Cannabis just accelerated it.

Thats not fact at all.
People can be predisposed to schizophrenia and psychosis but never get it.
Smoking cannabis does not make an inevitability happen sooner, it makes you many times more likely to develop it when there is a good chance you wouldn't have.
People with no obvious predisposition can also have psychosis triggered by cannabis.

If you must use it stay off the heavy stuff and use in moderation, better not to use it at all, and definitely not while you're young - say under 25.

Use of street drugs (including LSD,methamphetamine,marijuana/hash/cannabis) and alcohol have been linked with significantly increased probability of developing psychosis and schizophrenia. This link has been documented in over 30 different scientific studies (studies done mostly in the UK, Australia and Sweden) over the past 20 years. In one example, a study interviewed 50,000 members of the Swedish Army about their drug consumption and followed up with them later in life. Those who were heavy consumers of cannabis at age 18 were over 600% more likely to be diagnosed with schizophrenia over the next 15 years than those did not take it. (see diagram below). Experts estimate that between 8% and 13% of all schizophrenia cases are linked to marijuna / cannabis use during teen years. It is also notable that some research suggests that alcohol abuse is a stronger predictor of psychotic symptoms than regular cannabis use (by a factor of four).

People with any biological predisposition towards schizophrenia are at the highest risk -- unfortunately its impossible to accurately identify this predisposition beforehand ( a family history of mental illness is just one indicator of such a predisposition).
