I don't think pot has been found to cause schizophrenia. It has been noted in studies that a certain percentage of users develop certain responses to it.

That being said, there is a huge difference in natural pot and hydroponic pot, which needs very nasty, potent chemicals to assist its growth. Chemicals that are not made for human ingestion.

Though I do agree that long term use causes mental disability, and leads to physical disability.

I have not known anyone who used pot naturally (that is without using tobacco to smoke it with), to become addicted to it. But those who do use tobacco with their pot are all addicted and cannot go through the day without several "bongs".

What those people do not realise is that it is the tobacco and not the pot that they are craving. But in their mind it is the pot..

Anyway, I don't see the point in using a depressive drug to assist with an anxious depressive illness. That is the same as drinking alcohol to relieve drpression...it may work for a very limited window in time, but in the long run, it is only doing damage...but each to their own, I certainly would not judge anothers decision for themself
