    I only use over the counter drugs for their prescribed purpose. I am careful to take them only when needed. I have never and will never use "street" drugs. Those often lead to addictions and a horrible lifestyle. I am not judging anyone, but it seems like it happens to many drug users.

    Anything in moderation. There is a difference between a drug user and a drug abuser. I am much more inclined to smoke pot than to take pills, since pot has fewer potential side effects than most prescription drugs do.

    Shazbot, I am not judging you but use of marijuana contributes to schizophrenia. I have read a lot about the subject and I do not want to increase my chances of having a mental (or physical) illness because of "getting high".

    I hope that you read this article and consider what might happen. http://www.schizophrenia.com/sznews/archives/001475.html

    I am not saying you are a bad person but it is important to know the risks of taking/using drugs.

    You didn't read my post. All drugs have some risks, but few have risks as great as prescription drugs. And like i said, anything in moderation.

    If your already susceptible to schizophrenia weed is not the only thing that can trigger it by off setting the chemicals in your brain. If your already prone to the disease marijuana is not causing it, you would already need a dopamine imbalance in your brain. A family history of mental illness is the leading contributor to schizophrenia. while it's true if you are knowingly susceptible to it you should not use substances that trigger it but the majority of the public does not have this problem.

    Perscription and over the counter drugs have much higher addiction rates then marijuana especially since you can't become chemically addicted to weed as you can to persciption and other socially acceptable drugs, which can also lead to "horrible lifestyles" an can very well trigger schizophrenia themselves.

    people are gonna experiment with drugs for better or worse and the method of scaring people away from it by threatening mental illnesses like schizophrenia has proved to be dated and ineffective, this video may help illustrate my point http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gz0IXoJfXZY.

    KenE2389, I do not take prescription drugs, only over the counter medications. I was prescribed 80 mg oxycotins for a back sprain but I did not take them because I watched a special on the television show Intervention that detailed the problems that this drug can cause in one's lifestyle. I try to only take asprin because salicylic acid comes from plants and we eat plants so I can be healthy. Marijuana is dangerous just like a gun with bullets in it. I think that it is important to tell people that this plant might kill you or give you mental illnesses. My doctor told me that asprin is safe to take if I only take the recommended dosage though.

    I don't like taking pain pills either, but when you are in serious pain sometimes they are needed. When I had an abscessed tooth I was in mortal pain and had to take Codeine and Vicodin to keep from ripping the tooth out. I had to wait till the infection was gone before I could get a root canal done. No OC drugs would work for that type of pain. I have back pain from my scoliosis, but I'm so use to it I just live with it. Be careful with aspirin as it can damage your stomach as can ibuprofen. I tore mine up a few years back taking them for migraines. I take Naproxen (ALEVE) now when needed, but it can harm the stomach too. No matter what drugs you take they are all bad for you if over used.

    As for weed my friend is showing some signs of schizophrenia with his end of the world, getting in touch with God, the government and corporations are pagan sun worshiper wanting to destroy us stuff. He is addicted to weed and can't stop. Pot smokers will tell you there is no addiction, but there is. They reach a point where life loses all meaning unless they are high. Furthermore people build a tolerance to it and it gets to the point where being high is a normal feeling to them.

    It all comes down to pain vs. pleasure. You can get use to both and you just have to find a balance to be happy in life. Yes experiencing pain is part of life and if you try to take all the pain away with drugs you will end up with more in the end.

    What was in the Hookah? A Hookah is a smoking device and people usually smoke flavored tabacco with them, but also weed. My friend and I use to smoke his till we turned green.

    I said there was no chemical addiction to weed, I will not deny you can become emotionally or psychologically addicted to it as you can with anything in life, gambling is a prime example of this, but as far as statistics go 9% of marijuana users become emotionally addicted, It comes down to having an addictive personality, if it's not weed it would be something else for people with this problem and i'm not trying to make light of your friends situation I have a friend back home who's been coping with schizophrenia since middle school and weed has definately not helped him. like you and many people have been saying moderation is key but Mental illness is something that exists in you whether you do drugs or not.

    Gilgamesh i was not accusing you of abusing OTC drugs but meerly pointing out that they have side effects equal to and often times much worse then weed. you said " I try to only take asprin because salicylic acid comes from plants and we eat plants so I can be healthy." now I don't think i need to point out that marijuana is a plant itself and can be healthy for you, people on chemotherapy often use it to subdue nausea and to increase their apetite and reduce pain as well as patients with multiple sclerosis an nerve trauma. I'm not saying marijuana has no bad side effects but using the analogy of playing with a loaded gun suggests there are no good ones. It's your choice if you don't use marijuana and that's fine but everyone should make choices based on being educated about it and not fear mongering. It's good your concerned about your health but if you do enough research on anything you'll find out it'll probably kill you.

    That isn't very common. You're much more likely to develop it from LSD, and that too is rare.

    Who cares anyway? Aluminum can cause alzheimers. You going to quit using it?

    You sound like have some deep phobias.

    Marijuana is not dangerous. It has no business being illegal. I encourage it's use, but I know it is not for everyone so I don't force it on anyone.

    Just let people like me smoke our grass. We won't harm you. All we do is laugh, play hacky sack, listen to music, and philosophy about the goofiest shit.
