Schizophrenia and zoomer retardation, is pot to blame?

[Wormy]

I love how quickly you guys forgave Big Pharma for this. "It's all weed's fault!" all of a sudden.

Zoomers are like 18 now. I thought everything after 2003 was Gen Alpha.

Kiwi Farms has this weird thing going on where half the user base are anime avatar coomers, but college girls are considered delicate flowers and users assumed automatically to be dirty old men.
(To be fair, the userbase here seems surprisingly old. In my mind I automatically picture everybody on the Internet being a man in their twenties.)

Consider that mental health secrets like schizophrenia aren't as secret anymore due to slowly crumbling stigma surrounding mental health, less are locked up and more are on meds in the real world, as well as schizophrenics now having access to the internet & social media where they can broadcast crazy on accident. There's a boost in visibility from that alone.


Otherwise, I wouldn't be surprised. I want studies done on this shit, especially in the different age groups who use THC products in general and how it affects each's brain activity. I'm sure there are multiple causes, but weed being a big one would be understandable.

I've found that the occasional smokers tend to be much more based. I would say no, it's more meth, cocaine, heroine, and fent which lead to serious issues.

Unironically maybe. It seems suspect that two generations after pot was normalized shit started getting advanced crazy.

Definitely the weed. Couldn't be the push to turn against your own nature, nor could it be the cognitive dissonance required to just get through a day with technology. It definitely has absolutely nothing to do with constant content curation or AdSense or the fact that everything you see and do is being filtered by adhoc social constructs. It also has nothing to do with the rate of travel of information, propaganda, the constant lies, doublethink, and extant thoughtcrime. Nope. Gotta be the kids doing reefers.

No, it's because of the internet.

I don’t think so. Burnouts now are the same as burnouts from past generations. I don’t think weed smoking has moved the needle much in terms of zoomer behavior vs past generations. It’s more about trash education, negative cultural influences, and shitty absentee parents.

That said, kids need to be educated about the risks associated with adolescent weed consumption. No need to lie and act like weed will kill you or nuke your neurons. Just tell them the truth — smoking weed is a waste of time, it’s harmful to the developing brain, and is correlated with mental illness later in life. The “weed is totally harmless bro!” rhetoric has gone too far

Have any of you guys heard about "scromiting". its a zoomer term for a type of intense vomiting you get from SMOKING WEED that it makes you scream while puking. I used to smoke weed in the early 2010s and my mom was a huge stoner in the 80's and I have never in my life heard anyuthing like that before. I know that weed is getting stronger due to advances in the medical marijuana industry. But weed making you violently vomit is so strange and foreign to me. Its kind of scary honestly.

i've never heard of that either and it just sounds dumb. i wouldn't put it past zoom-zooms to not only smoke laced weed but do it constantly.

College girls are not delicate little flowers and I am NOT sticking my dick in crazy
