They're generic warnings - if you have specific needs associated with your treatment of your illness, that's not on the regulation board, theb onus is on you and the professionals treating you.

There are studies that suggest that there might be a link between schizophrenia and cannabis consumption, namely that it can exacerbate the symptoms. Might and Can be operative words.

It can also exacerbate the symptoms of GAD - generalized anxiety disorder. But it's on the person suffering from those symptoms to avoid those substances.

Take personal responsibility for your treatment.

There have been studies that tobacco use increases the risk of schizophrenia and there isn’t a label on cigarettes for it. I think it’s more of a risk for some people genetically then it is a blanket risk for people who regularly consume either. I assume there isn’t enough evidence through research, as opposed to say the correlation between cigarettes and cancer.

Hey, I'm sorry you at going through this. It must be hard for you and your family, and you must be looking for answers. I just want to say that more research is needed, and there's no existing study with enough data to prove cause. The National Library of Medicine has said as much in a review of all exisitng studies.

"Even though CBD shows therapeutic effects and THC opposing effects, the data is minimal and low safety and efficacy warrants more research. The relation between cannabis and schizophrenia needs further investigation. We need more case-control studies and clinical trials with a larger population to get conclusive data."

Lots of medical offices are looking for assistants, technicians, and front desk staff for positions that can be trained on the job (ie, not requiring a degree or certification in the field).

I'm in the optometry field and as a whole across the country, we're hurting for technician staff! Sales experience is always a plus for hiring managers in any people-facing industry, as you already have people skills (which can't necessarily be trained) whereas skills related directly to doing the job can! Just some food for thought.
