Mental Disorders

I honestly believe that a persons upbringing and the way others interact with them has the potential to be far more harmful than any amount of drug use.

Nah it's more likely they're bullied/mistreated because they're different/weird and for whatever reasons they don't have the coping skills to handle things differently.

I blame society.

Thre are a few things THC can help with, but it can cause more problems with mental disorders than solve them. Nothing wrong with experimentation to solve issues as long as proper analysis is taken. From my experience, it's no better or worse than a lot of the pills prescribed by psychiatry.

The bigger issue is getting a correct diagnosis. Without that, all the drugs in the world aren't going to help, and proper therapy and life management will do more.

my mom did a test on me and some of my friends where she observed each of us individually for 1hour a day for 6months and made us take an iq test and then she did gave us all weed which we smoked daily for 6months and then after that she observed us for 1 hour a day for another 6 months and she said that we all seemed a lot smarter and we all scored higher on iq tests. there were 15 of us in her experiment and all of us got a lot smarter so i think this is enough proof to me that weed is nothing but helpful i havnt seen any negative side effects in me or any of my friends

What affects a normal person one way may have a completely different effect on a person with a mental disorder. Give a person who truly has ADD/ADHD Adderall or Ritalin, and they calm down and lose the jitters and can focus. Give that to a normal person, and it's quasi-legal speed (prescription required, illegal for anyone else to posses). THC/marijuana is no different.

One of the things about mental orders that gripes me, is how easy it is to assign them if you're looking for signs. They've especially become a fad amongst the education community. People are so eager to assign a reason as to why a child behaves a certain way, it's ADHD, it's autism, it's Asperger's Syndrome, or maybe it's just that children don't always fall within your narrow little spectrum of perfectly rounded little shits. Children are little developing humans and if there' s one thing that's for sure about biology, it's that it never takes the exact same path twice.
There's this catch-22 in education, that every single student is different, yet they're all supposed to learn at the exact same speed. They're all forced to take the same standardized tests and held to the same standards, yet they're told and taught they can do it at their own speed. Well, which is it?
Maybe we should just keep giving them methamphetamines and hope for the best. Because hard drugs never had any adverse effects on developing bodies.

We're trying to emulate the societal structure of bees or ants but we just don't have the mentality for it (additionally we aren't all clones). I think once that's accepted as fact society will develop to become as complex as it is necessary for it to be. People just aren't that simple, but we're taught that we should be.

No matter how much people tell me, common sense and personal experience tells me that taking a drug that affects your brain chemistry at a young age while you're still growing is not good for you, no matter how much my government says it should be legal.
