Joe Rogan - Does Marijuana Cause Psychosis, Violent Crime | JRE Pot Debate

[@nielsssg]

When I smoked weed in Amsterdam where I knew I wouldn't get arrested and people wouldn't give me a weird look for looking high all of a sudden the paranoia was gone. The plant doesn't make me paranoid, the fact that I could get caught does.

[@Justin-rm6su]

@@codyminecrack248 That's simply wrong. People with a family history of schizophrenia, psychosis, or bipolar disorder should absolutely stay away from psychedelics or recreational drugs of any kind, including cannabis. Psychedelic therapy has had positive results for certain specific disorders, like substance abuse and PTSD, no doubt. But to generalize these experiences to all mental illnesses is dangerous. It's becoming clear that people with the most propensity to develop schizophrenia in their lifetime (men under roughly 25 years old, especially those with a family history of schizophrenia) should stay as far away from psychedelics and cannabis as possible.

To be fair, marijuana does have significant side-effects. In my experience, it causes involuntary laughter, munchies, and causes average music to sound amazing. EDIT: I've quit weed because I realized it just blurs my mind and overall makes me lazier. Much sharper and more productive without its side residual effects. So yeah, it's not for everyone.

I'm Dutch, weed is "legal" here for all my life and I'm a regular smoker. Never get paranoid. Last November I went to Germany for a weekend off, where weed is illegal. I had some weed on me tho. The moment the train crossed the border, I got paranoid. I could even smell the weed from my bag, which I didn't notice before we crossed. Very weird experience.

[@Daggz90]

Every day life here in Sweden. Can't go outside and chill because I'll be heavily fined and get a note in my records which makes employment much, much harder when looking for new jobs. Visited Amsterdam a few days in 2013 and it was such a different experience, much more enjoyable and relaxing. I could truly appreciate the flowers in its fullest and I miss that sense of complete mindfulness during the intoxication. I don't drink and that doesn't alleviate any of my physical pains from my fibromyalgia, on the contrary. But I wish I could get it prescribed here so I was allowed to walk around in public with a burning flower in hand and not get those expensive bs pills or oils. Let me be free, let me use natural products to alleviate some of the pains and health problems I have, without penalizing or terrorising me for it. It's such a crazy world we live in...

His thought is that prolonged or heavy marijuana use, can create psychosis in mentally ill or unstable individuals which may result in violent crime. Its not a blanket statement that weed causes violence.

How does that even happen unless they are mixing the weed with harder drugs? Most people just seek more dopamine through eating and sex and feel tired. How does someone have the functionality to murder someone while using weed? I think it should be a prescription only and no smoking, only edibles that are so strong people who need it just take a nap. If it's too strong, nobody can stand up, let alone drive or assault another person. It's not good for anyone's mentality to constantly carry chronic pain. I can see where that is needed. But recreational use data shows people of all demographic and age are at risk to predators. Look at Dahmer and Gacy. They used weed to lure young men back to their car or place. It's easy to find yourself in a dangerous situation and not have the reflex to defend yourself or have a complete lack of awareness.

I’ve had my ups and downs smoking weed with psychosis. The vast majority of pot smokers tend to have a great and relaxing experience without any intentions of hurting anyone like I did throughout high school. It wasn’t until I got into college and noticed I had been developing psychosis like some of my family members did I realize I needed to stop smoking. Whenever I would smoke in late college I’d feel very hot and cold and would start heavily sweating while feeling extremely paranoid. I love how this podcast emphasizes that it truly depends on the person and that weed is a great medicine for the majority of ppl, however for a smaller percentage with mental issues like psychosis or schizophrenia, it can really easily sway ur brain into a psychosis state for those who are already experiencing symptoms. I personally think pot should be legalized recreationally as even though 1% of ppl who smoke with paranoid psychosis have a high chance of getting violent, the other 99% tend to have euphoric affects without any intent of hurting anyone.

My uncle and my dad both have a big psychosis history, almost my whole family has a history of substance misuse also. I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t smoke tobacco, but I have been smoking weed for over 10 years now ( since I was 12 ) . I was a menace to society since a child but my smoking habits have really calmed me down. I never had a psychosis myself. When I travel, it happens that I just don’t touch any weed for like 10 days and it doesn’t make me withdraw at all.. Doesn’t bother me.. it’s interesting. I just seem to have stronger anxiety than what I normally have when I do smoke. I will admit that doing heavy edibles is the worst thing you can do if you are not in the right state of mind for it, or on the right place. They make you extremely paranoid and if you have anxiety it’s just a disaster 🤣 Since a child I saw so much pain and stress from hard drugs and alcohol, but I always looked at weed as if it was a medicine.

Brain is under massive construction at that age, plus most kids are still finding out who they are never mind taking mind altering drugs. Get what you mean tho, a good or bad experience will happen to someone, then they'll take their subjective experience with the drug and regard it as universal. Like when you see people who try weed for the first time and have a bad reaction (throwing up, paranoia, anxiety etc) and their view will instantly be switched to anti weed/legalization. Same goes for people who want it legal and readily available just because THEY have a good reaction. No one is the center of the world and both extreme ends of the anti and pro weed scale are equally pointless.

I grew up in a violent home and environment. I’ve learned to be calm under pressure! With that skill I was able to asses my high and thoughts. There are others who learned this on their own in different upbringings. There are those who don’t have the ability to chill at all. These people can easily act on their thoughts and paranoia. I feel we definitely need to teach how to smoke weed and how to properly express yourself when high and asses thoughts. I definitely don’t believe everyone should smoke however, I believe everyone can smoke if taught correctly and if they are honest with themselves and others.

[@thiccnuthun6367]

Exactly! Violent tendencies have way more to do with your upbringing and predisposition. Weed is not gonna make someone homicidal just like playing video games is not gonna make someone homicidal. As marijuana becomes legalized in more places there hopefully will be more in depth research done and a more widespread understanding of marijuana's effects.

Loved your insight bro🙏 I'm going through these thoughts as I type. Myself for instance I have anxiety issues that I deal with,Marijuana did used to help those issues but after smoking heavy for months it's actually made things 10x worst.

[@12SamuraiX]

Xavier086 what’s up Brotha! Thanks for the honesty! That’s the first step to calming your mind. Check this out, you’re not your thoughts at all! As easy as they come is as easy as they go. You have to be disciplined enough to not let yourself run wild with no objective. Take up mindfulness. The first step a Buddha takes to becoming a Buddha is mindfulness meditation . With that said, the first step to mindfulness is breathing. When you take a deep breath you’re fully aware of yourself. With that awareness, apply it to your thoughts. Observe your thoughts like a pedestrian observing traffic. You see a car you like you follow it- You see a car you don’t like you let it pass. Now my friend, treat your thoughts as that. I know your mental capacity can get full with all the stuff life throws at you. When this happens we look for a release. Weed can be that release only if you’re in control of yourself when using it. Weed is a amplifier in a sense. So imagine it amplifying your thoughts if your not aware of it for a long period of time it will torment you. With all that said, I hope this is useful and you calm your mind. Remember life itself outside the social constructs is a beautiful place. Don’t get trapped in your mind unless you’re there on demand.

There's a difference between cannabis making people violent and violent people smoking cannabis. If you're violent to start with then the chances are you'll be violent after you smoke cannabis. I know some long term prisoners, many of whom have committed murder, who swear that cannabis makes them more calm and level headed. Stats can be misleading or interpreted to suit your own agenda and sometimes fail to make connections between cause and effect.. Poor people smoking cannabis and robbing people is not the same as cannabis making you violent enough to commit these crimes. I'm certainly no expert but I have been around this stuff all my life and I agree that some people should not smoke cannabis but you can say that about almost every substance known to man, especially alcohol.

[@jasonquinn4516]

That old maxim goes more like "Correlation does not necessarily imply causation." On a small or incidental scale any correlations merit the parsing of many variables and confounding data. While this approach will always hold true for any scientific method analysis, the larger and larger the scale and scope of correlating data points become, the more narrow the causal relations become as well. At the end of the day, there is still an inference for a conclusion occurring, but this is the very bedrock of empirical data study.

The fact that you think lowering your testosterone, eating junk and playing more video games is positive makes me believe that you are irrational.

In my opinion, all psychedelics have a chance to give you psychosis and paranoia. That being send, it all depends on if the person already had these to begin with. And being aware in a existencial way is always risk at being mentally unwell. Life sucks. But its still life. Taking the filter off can drive people nuts.

[@thomassmith6931]

Agreed, as someone that fell to drug abusing dabs,alcohol and psychedelics iv recently been feeling like iv been falling into psychosis. Even though I have been clean from all of it for a month now the feeling of being murdered and overall paranoia has really been putting an effect and as somone who came from a sober mindset 2 years ago and being as aware as I am to see what is happening I can’t help but continue to believe these delusions and out of the ordinary ideas that I think are completely true no matter how much I try to think otherwise. Imo I feel as tho from my experiences psychedelics was the main cause followed by the abusing dabs multiple times everyday didn’t help the fact of what’s currently going on. I can’t give a say on weed just because as soon as I quit everything a month ago it wasn’t the thing that tipped me over in feeling like the way I do it was dabs but I will say I don’t think it was what caused it originally even tho I feel like that was a factor in it. But yes it will drive you nuts if you can’t put mind over matter I can’t tell you how many times iv thought and currently think my food was poisoned, thought I was getting set up, thought people where out to get me and even looking out my window every 30 mins bc i think I heard somone pulled into my driveway to get me so far to the point I live in fear not knowing if tonight’s gonna be my last to where I keep a knife on me 24/7 for my safety of myself bc I’m so worried I’m gonna get got. But considering I’m 19 iv only started feeling this way sence the beginning of March and shi don’t feel real sometimes tbh but life goes on and there isn’t too much you can do other than therapy or meds but I’m trying to work on it by overcoming and adapting to it. But iv never had a test done or anything but just based off all the signs such as paranoia,delusions,music and tv talking to me,consistently recurring numbers, hearing things and recently starting to see stuffs not like people but like inanimate things? Idk it’s hard to explain. On top of being extremely gullible that has a fucked up family that can’t really trust anybody I can’t help but feel as if I’m losing it a bit lmao but that’s my take from my mindset currently from a “psychosis” perspective didn’t think I’d be giving a essay on a rand as post from a comment from a month ago but here we are😭✋ idk makes me feel good to talk abt it in a way
