Can you explain why after a period of smoking marijuana, a 19-year-old boy developed a bout of schizophrenia-type illness, which resolved itself after being treated with an anti-psychotic?
the answer i simple, it happens to me to a lesser extent. marijuana is a mild hallucinogen, when you smoke a mild hallucinogen you may begin to hallucinate mildly. it may manifest itself in anxiety, social withdrawal, it may lead to depression, it may cause them to not function at their optimal level. it may have been that he was schizophrenic (but was still able to function), and smoking marijuana brought the schizophrenia to the surface
