Yep. I had a close friend that accepted a grip of shrooms from some random chicks at a house party, only to find out the hard way that night that his estranged (since ~birth) father's side of the family had a high risk for schizophrenia... Be careful, friends. Knowledge is power. Use your damn brains, please.

I work in medicine (mostly emergency medicine), and I have seen a lot of people end up with their lives completely torn apart because of permanent effects of psychotropic drugs. CBD has a lot of benefits and some real clinical evidence backing it up, but there really aren't any non-recreational uses for THC and the people who want to use marijuana for calming effects can get CBD on its own these days.
