My brother smoked pot in jr high and high school. My parents took him to counseling. The counselor told them it was a normal activity.

He is dead from an overdose at age 50.

I also just fired a young person who was vaping all day long on the job.

Today’s weed isn’t soft. It’s causing psychosis in some teen users. Young brains are very malleable. My school has had 14 year olds who had to go to rehab.

Read the studies. For this reason (and we know 5 kids with no mental health history have serious mental health issues 18-22–I’m strongly advocating against it and showing my kids the data).

“Over the last decade of diagnosing countless young patients with new psychotic disorders, one striking result has stuck out for New York City psychiatrist Dr. Ryan Sultan.

“Of all the people I’ve diagnosed with a psychotic disorder,” he said, “I can’t think of a single one who wasn’t also positive for cannabis.”

And the evidence is growing of marijuana’s association with psychiatric disorders such as depression, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia, especially in young men.

My son developed psychosis after smoking weed (and not ever for that long). He will be on antipsychotic medication for the rest of his life. It’s not like the weed from the 60s.

So did my nephew. I’m so sorry.
