Weed and Schizophrenia

[ElvisN]

So I took heavy doses of LSD several years ago which triggered heavy psychosis in me and which has persisted since. It's been more than 5 years that I've lived with this type of schizophrenia.

Something interesting happened recently though. I've been tripping on weed for the last 2 months for spiritual development. And I was getting good results.

After just 2 weeks of regular consumption, my social anxiety almost disappeared. But in the last 2 weeks something profound happened.

Every time I smoked, I would experience hallucinations. I would experience schizophrenia. I would imagine having conversations with people.

However, this one time I experienced something different. I realized how impossible it is to communicate with someone through time and space, and I experienced a permanent healing of my schizophrenia. I think it went down 80% and has been down since. This is akin to a miracle. I already noticed how it was clearing my hallucinations, but this was a major shift.

Any thoughts?

Warning: Consuming weed is highly addictive and can trigger schizophrenia. Use with caution.

Edit: Now when I trip, I don't experience the hallucinations as much.

I'm happy for you.

Just be careful that it doesn't retrigger it.

@Leo Gura  Okay, thanks.

Are you not surprised that the very thing that can cause schizophrenia can heal it too?

Well, it remains to be seen if it really healed you. This is a long-term condition that tends to work in waves and can recur.

So you'd need more time to pass to really know.

It would be cool if it did. I hope it does for you.

Enlinghtenment works by emptying your subconscious through heightened states of consciousness. During the process you're gonna hallucinate but as time goes on the hallucinations are gonna deplete.

@Michal__ This is exactly what's going on.

Weed make ego go hypermode. Makes it easier to see and identify.

When I first smoked weed my brain would say ' im dying' 'this is killing me' 'my brain is glitching'

It would scare me but I keep doing it and then it stopped.

It makes your ego ramble and that allows you to see it more clearly when you have schizophrenia and you beleive you are one of the thoughts in your head.
