Can Marijuana Smoking Leads To Schizophrenia?

Hi I have a question so on February 18 I went with some friends we smoked about 2 blunts it was 5 of us at first i was laughing really hard like never before than I started to feel weird my chest was burning my mouth was dry i remember everything blacked out and i yelled I cant breathe! I blacked out for 1 minute than I heard my friend repeatedly say chill out about. Times I felt like my eyes where doing circles and i felt everything kept repeating itself my both arms were tingling my heart was beating really fast time was really really slow 1 minute felt like 1 hour what was more scary was my body my eyes where awake but I felt if my brain was falling asleep then out of no where waking up and i couldnt believe what I was doing I kept moving I was freaked out about 2 or 3 hours later I still felt confused and detached but I managed to go home, the next days I felt anxious and i also felt like in auto pilot type until the next week I started feeling extremely anxious really really dizzy I had to stop going to school the light made me more scared I member I couldnt t s le it I had to walk out and go home waljing I thought walking wss going to make me feel better it didn t I felt as of I had to share the same spot to calm down its been 2 months I feel a little better from the anxiety but I am very paranoid when I eat I feel as if someone put something in it I feel like they put shrooms or lsd or something If you give me something I would probably won t take it or would eat it and Be thinking about it for 3 hours but my real question is was the marijuana laced? And do I have a serious condition? I have been researching scrizofrenia and i have similar symptoms but im really worried and scared to have that feelings again or have something serious.

Hello,

Psychological effects are common, after smoking marijuana, this is especially true after the first use.

It can be the marijuana itself which is highly variable in its effects and has bad psychological effects in about 10% of those trying it.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman
