Question:

Looking for People who has developed psychosis/schzophrenia dude to use of cannabis?

I am a photography student that may be doing an MA (masters degree) next year at LCC. I want to make a photographic documentary on a person who has been affected by the use of cannabis and have developed psychosis because of it, or has helped in you developing the condition.

I understand this topics is very sensitive, but many of the people I know that use cannabis are reluctant in believing that cannabis can do any harm to you (they also disregard emphysema as a disease from cannabis use).

Thanks for your help


Answers:

for the most part in this forum you are dealing with people who aren't necessarily a cohort that will be sensitive to the reality of cannabis use. I can assure you both on a professional and personal level it DOES cause a range of mental illnesses which vary in severity. A family member developed depression bordering on bi-polar (not yet diagnosed) due solely to cannabis use - he even acknowledges that the link between developing his illness and smoking.
As with any addiction (it is addictive), there is always an element of denial that one is doing anything harmful. Hence some of the posted replies.
There has also been several murders linked with cannabis use.
professionally, as a nurse for the last 30 years, I have seen the sad results of continual abuse of this substance. Its out there, folks, believe it!
There have been many studies made about cannabis use, but I advise caution with some. I'm sure with your studies so far you know how to discriminate the truth from bias. The medical journal section of your university library is a good place to start, and as a member of the university you'll be able to access a wide amount of info online.
before starting a study you also need to seek approval from the ethics committee at the university to ensue that the questions asked and study undertaken is ethical and appropriate.
