[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had always said I’d rather my kid be around stoners than heavy drinkers — in my own experience, drinking was much more associated with danger (drunk driving, assault, etc). But today’s weed really does seem different than the kind I’d known.

I know three kids who wound up in psych hospitals for psychotic episodes after regular cannabis use. These are ordinary kids, UMC, good schools, loving families. All three lives permanently affected. One of the kids has been on and off the streets, it’s just an absolute nightmare for the family.

I keep trying to warn my own teen, and I’m sure I sound like a Charlie Brown mom, or Nancy Reagan or something. I’m so far from Nancy Reagan it’s absurd. But something is happening that is very scary. [/quote]

Thx for weighing in. Have a DC, college age at time, who experienced a non-cannabis related psychotic episode some years ago. Many of the patients their age were in due to cannabis psychosis.

I grew up in an era and in a community with a lot of potheads. Unmotivated, etc - yes, but I only knew one who experienced cannabis psychosis. TBH, nearly all of them grew up to hold solid U/MC jobs, though, at the time, I didn’t think it would out that way for them. The weed does seem different.[/quote]
