>>7508563Meds can work, don't straight up refuse them on the basis of some retarded /pol/ opinion. Not saying that is what you are doing, but I see a lot of it. They definitely can have horrible side effects, but they really do work sometimes too
I smoke when I go abroad with my friends but that's about it. Smoked a lot of weed at university, which was a terrible decision given that I was well aware at the time that I have long suffered from psychoses, but I found that it always had extremely predictable effects on me. I never felt like it was close to sending me over the edge and for me it is so far from a psychotic break that not doing it on the basis of my mental health would be like an average person saying "I don't want that 1 beer, I don't want to kill my entire family in a moment of alcohol-fuelled violence". Alcohol for me, really fucks me up and it was the prime cause of me not taking my meds
I did a lot of stronger psychedelics at uni too. These were a different ballgame to weed and at times I really felt like I was skating on thin ice. I would never do them again, but considering nothing bad happened, I don't regret that I did. I think DMT made me realise that I wasn't a person that was capable of violence to others, even at my worst. Losing this fear made my life much easier
