Rehan Shah it has been 5 years since my last hospital visit. And all thanks to the CBD.
Knowledge is power wisdom is what
I cannot recommend THC for everyone people must understand how it effects them on an individual level. What is right for some may not be right for all. I can however state that CBD has been a huge life saver for me.
Schizophrenia…. is there some medical test that can prove this disease?. No there isn’t, therefore there exists no disease called "schizophrenia". These labels are stigmatizing and being done for profit.
Close minded conservative- she’s brainwashed. I bet when she goes home she lights the candles for the bath and the reiki music. Wake up people. 👎
Fail..
I’ll vote against medical weed in my state just because people suck and are trying to leave out the skizofrenics from it.

Which studies of CBD as an antipsychotic does she think were negative? And what was wrong with this early trial?

Mental illness for what I experienced may not be purely a disease. It may be caused by evil spirits. For what u see in Chinese legends of God’s. There are a lot of ugly characters even infamous character like mad monk. But as far as I know mad monk is not the only one who is mad. Ugly God may harms human out of jealousy and hatred causing them mad. Lustful gods are common. Even the imfamous Jiang Tai Gong is suspected to be a very Lustful character who see sex valuable.
Schizophrenics
I think they’re the most destructive element to society and the violence they impose on others demands that western governments must change the way in which they deal with them
I once suffered from hallucinations. I admit partly it is my habit to delude. After injection and medicine treatment. I recovered. Recovery is partly individual commitment. Now I have one problem is I keep quarrelling with spirits. And I have the tendency to feel autistic like money thought, shame and mumbling. I keep talking to myself after I once tranced.
I was a daily user but decided to quit. On day 5 of being sober I started having auditory hallucinations. I tried smoking again but it just made it worse. A year later I’m still hallucinating and I’ve been sober for 8 months. IDK wtf happend, maybe my brain tried compensating for being without weed and royally fk’d up.
great share!
This lady is a horrible public speaker
I’ve been on CBD for about 2 months – I’ve had one day of bad experience. True, labels do not say much but cannabidol and the milligrams. But I buy from a knowledge and trusted seller near my work. All products I bought from there has calmed my schizophrenic symptoms, anxiety AND increased my sleep hours from 4 to 7-8 hours. When I am on my prescribed medication – I wake up with grogginess, but with CBD I wake up energized! Research is very limited. What I take has no THC.
Everyone, pay attention to these studies. Also, remember sick people are often in hospital or disabled. That is, all of your friends who say smoking pot is fine…well, they are the ones who survived it.
Hello Guys,
where you buy the cbd ? I’m from Germany and my dad got schitzophrenia. I must help him
At this time, the medical community is in a way still convinced that an apple does not have both an inside and an outside. Our reality, in case you did not notice, is always confined to the "Now" or the "Present", and this is the case even though we are constantly moving across a dimension known as the dimension of Time. The "Now", is the inside of reality. The remainder of dimension of time, is the outside of reality. Expand your mind with drugs such as cannabis, and you can unfortunately spill over into the outside. Those who already have spilled over, will do so even more if exposed to cannabis. But meanwhile, the medical community thinks nothing of the existence of an outside, and thus puts the blame entirely upon what exists on the inside only, and there is absolutely no way in the world that one can change that due to their ongoing OCCD (Obsessive Compulsive Certainty Disorder.) personalities.
I am convinced that smoking pot brought on my schizophrenia. The paranoia was always there when I was high. I don’t know if the stress from the paranoia caused my illness but I am sure it made it worse. I have had 2 major breaks in my life. Both times I had a lot of outside stress but the first break, was shortly after I stopped my heavy use of the drug. I smoked about 1/4 to 1/2 ounce a week for about 4 years. I do not recommend smoking pot and dont feel its a good way to treat the illness of schizophrenia.
I take Cannabis Derived CBD daily as a person living with schizoeffective disorder. It not only takes away all social anxiety it takes away my depression and manic episodes. I have remained out of the hospital and had no delusions or psychotic Breaks. I should mention I also use high THC cannabis both smoked and ingested in oils in a 1:1 ratio. I declare bullshit on your presentation. You used Synthetic Marinol
in your trials a drug not tolerated well by many who it was administered in the aids epidemic where by whole plant cannabis was tolerated well. I do not see how you can say those who used hashish develop schizophrenia later in life then those who use skunk. Hash is concentrated is greater in strength. This is fear mongering
No increase in the onset of schizophrenia in the USA population throughout the last 30 years. I encourage everyone reading this to look up Dr Grinspoon he tells the truth. Cannabis is a life saver for myself and many others and CBD is the future of antipsychotics.
This woman is embarrassing. How the hell did she become a doctor?
If it works for you it works for you, if it makes it worse it makes it worse, it is going to be different for everyone.
Thc can’t induce schizophrenia.
