[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wondering if any of the doctors or hospitals mentioned cannabis induced psychosis or drug-induced psychosis brought on by hallucinogenics like LSD or DMT?  Have they put him on anti-psychotic medications?  Also, has he been told that any drugs (including cannabis) taken after a drug-induced psychosis, puts him at risk for longer and worse psychotic episodes, which can turn into full-blown schizophrenia? The marijuana kids get now is much more potent than olden days and the new hallucinogenic drugs like DMT are being promoted by celebrities, without any discussion of negative impact (sometimes permanent) on teenage/young adult brains (like actual brain damage).  I am only asking because if he is being diagnosed with schizoaffective disorders, it may be related to continued drug use and he needs to go to a detox/rehab that also treats mental illness.

Yes, DC has been advised against smoking marijuana and has been told that heavy use of marijuana could induce psychosis. Since DC lacks insight into own illness, ignores doctors advices as Not Applicable! The Detox/Rehab will only work if Dc agrees that smoking is a trigger or a accelerator for psychosis. It has been the biggest challenge of my life and some days I feel like I may not live to see my DC happy.[/quote]
