Schizophrenia And Marijuana ??? Posted: 11-21-07 03:52am
I have a friend whom I used to be very
close with but as we all went off to
college he stayed at home and fell into a
new crowd. He was always a little goofy
said weird things made weird jokes thought
werid stuff was funny, latly hes moved
down to college with all of us and is just
working. Hes been acting extremely
different talking of crazy tihngs and
having crazy ideas and thoughts of
paranoia. Hes also become a heavy
marijuana user, Im wondering is smoking
weed has merley brought about his hidden
schizophrenia disorder or if hes just an
odd person, my friends and I have gone
into much greater detail on the matter
with a physcology professor here at school
andhe strongly suggest it is the disorder
blooming at his peak late teens. ??????

Well a few things could be happening-
The marijuana could be causing paranoia
He could be smoking because of
schizophrenia
He could just be odd
He needs to get checked out by a
professional. Schizophrenia often first
shows itself during the late teens/early
20's.
