I always wondered if weed would work well on a schizo. It was always weird to me that my friend would give her daughter so much medicine but the mere mention of weed would send her over the deep end.

typically, since weed is a psychedelic, it doesn't work well with schizophrenia at all and can actually make it worse

it can even trigger latent schizophrenia in people (ie you get it earlier than you would have)

this is pretty much the only real danger of weed I can think of. note I'm not saying it makes you schizophrenic or that if you smoke enough eventually you will be schizophrenic.

I know a schizophrenic who smokes weed and it seems to be fine for her, but she generally smokes very little at any one time, and it makes her ill if she mixes it with anything else.

You know, serious question, how do nootropics and brain supplements (like Alphabrain or something) affect Schizophrenics? Can they improve cognition or are they all snake oil?

EDIT: Primarily in regards to memory.

They aren't snake oil by any means but idk how they would affect schizophrenics

im more of a sigmabrain

When I was untreated I used to speak/shout unintelligible nonsense because I had the notion that language was universal and you could express yourself adequately by cutting right to the structuralist underpinnings of it. I also made some other idiot highschool boys believe that this was sensible, either that or they just wanted to be done talking to me, a babbling maniac.

On the bright side, one of those people you babbled to probably went to go on and design the language in The Sims.
