> after doing some research on schizophrenia , i realize i have some of the symptoms

it would be rarer to find individuals who didn't have SOME of the symptoms. 30% of college first years report having had hallucinatory experiences at some point in their lives. might be that those kinds of experiences are more prevalent in the general population, might be that those kinds of experiences are less prevalent in the general population, dunno... point is, however, that prevalence of schizophrenia is much much lower (around 1 or 2 percent).

> Considering Marijuana increase's your chances of getting Schizo...

that is very controversial indeed. i know the anti mj lobby likes to publicise this statistic but it is important to remember that lots of people (the majority of people) who take drugs never develop schizophrenia. how do i know that? the prevalence of drug taking is much greater than the prevalence of schizophrenia and you also have to consider that there are people with schizophrenia who have never experimented with non-psychiatric medications. another thing that tends to increase your chances fo getting schizophrenia is abuse (but of course the anti-drug lobby doesn't focus on that statistic). but once again, rates of abuse are much much higher than rates of schizophrenia.

as well as the positive symptoms (the presence of delusions, hallucinations and / or formal thought disorder) negative symptoms are required. negative symptoms include social withdrawal and achieving well below ability in school and things like that. that is partly why i said that your parents and / or teachers might indeed refer you on to psych services if those kinds of things start happening with you. in fact... if you told a psychiatrist that you had had hallucinatory experiences and if you parents and / or teachers were concerned about your lack of achievement and your social withdrawal then i'd say it would be all but guaranteed that (rightly or wrongly) you would get a diagnosis of schizophrenia (or some other psychotic disorder) from the majority of psychiatrists. what does that buy you? medications that sedate you and a prediction of 'chronic, is unlikely to improve, shouldn't really have goals like going to university and the like'. the predictions... tend to make it so... (that is one of my major beefs with the health system). of course there are enlightened psychiatrists who aren't so quick to give someone such a condemnatory life sentance... but they are few and far between...

decisions...

> I cant stop and smirk , since after reading your post , i had another sense of deja vu.

how long ago did you give it up? it takes quite a while to clear from your system (around 6 months or so). some people experience flashback hallucinatory experiences / feelings of significance and the like for up to a couple years after stopping. that might take a little longer (or shorter, i guess) because if you are a teenager... well... there is a second neural proliferation and pruning cycle round about then... we aren't so very sure on the effects of mj on the developing brain... still... neural plasticity should ensure that you turn out alright in the end ;-)

> When i first smoked it gave me a such a deeper understanding of everything

i think it gives you the FEELING that you have a deeper understanding of everything, but really what happens is that it limits your attention such that you aren't able to see that actually you aren't a great deal better off than you were before (except from enjoying the feeling, of course).
