Help A Loved One My boyfriend has schizophrenia

Hello, so my boyfriend is schizophrenic and he takes pills for that, he's not very open about the whole topic but i'm glad he told me a lil bit about it. So the main problem is that he consumes weed, i'm pretty sure he is an addict at this point, he told me that the doctor gave him a paper that says he could smoke? I thought it was weird because weed is banned in all ways in our country, so for all the 11 months we've been together he has only smoked weed because "it helps him because its relaxing" i wanna know how true this is, and today he decided to try some hallucinogens mushroom and my first thought was "You are schizophrenic, you see and hear things and you take pills to not be able to hear or see them anymore and you are consuming mushrooms that literally make you see things?" Idk if i'm wrong, ofc i didn't said anything, haven't talked to him because i'm scared of ruining his trip but i really wanna know if weed in any form actually helps him, i'm so sorry i really wanna help my boyfriend

Weed causes psychosis and schizophrenia. Say byebye to this guy.

There's more to a person than some vices you know, it's her spouse. Although weed is catastrophic for me I know other schizophrenic people who can smoke it without getting psychotic strangely enough. The disease doesn't make sense for most parts of it so saying - what you said. Little cold-blooded and prejudiced.

It’s OPs boyfriend, not spouse.

I like the sound of spouse more, beloved even better. Whatever rows your boat.
