ofcourse tron is right

perhaps in peblos case smoking enhanced a possible anxiety he could have for going alone or to an unknown place or people etc

even the type of weed you smoke, try some hash instead

or it could be something else...

I really dont know if tron is right. Of course ganja cause some symptons that we dont get in a "normal" mental state, so a doctor is too much i think. I want to clear that i only experimented this a few times , and only when i was alone and in a specific situation, but had to admit too , that this has increased during the last time.Anyone has the same experience?

I smoke cannabis, and whilst I don't think it can cause mental illness it certainly can stop sufferers seeking treatment and thus lead to their symptoms getting worse. It can exacerbate but I don't think it can cause...

well I think one hidden problem can go to surface thanks to cannabis. The problem remain the same, but at least you have a chance to identify it and fight it especifically.

I dont think in cannabis as a cause of mental illness, but can be a way to feel any kind of illness we can have inside (we all have, more or less, and can notice in different daily situations, with or without herb, of course). But with herb can produce situations like peblo explained.

Of course I dont think neither in cannabis as a treatment by itself, we can treat our psychology problems in so many ways. Another world is the chemistry of the brain, I had friends with this kind of problems, and of course they needed professional help.

peblo, maybe you got too high for your liking.
or maybe next time try eating some marijuana food products, it is a different effect and often much more mellow...more of a whole-body high.
i don't think the herb is making you go crazy, it's just that some people don't really like the effects of it while some do. same goes for alcohol or other things in life.
smoking weed may make you a bit "crispy" but i don't think it's a direct cause of mental illness in itself.
