[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yup, saw this firsthand with my brother. He was likely predisposed because he'd suffered from depression and anxiety from his early teens, but the weed triggered full blown psychosis and a schizoaffective disorder diagnosis. He was living with me at the time and it was one of the most stressful experiences of my life. I can only imagine how it was for him. It just sucks - definitely derailed him.[/quote]

This sounds like my brother too. [/quote]

Mine as well. 😞[/quote]

And mine.  Ruined my parents lives and I expect mine to be ruined as well trying to care for him when they no longer can. [/quote]

+1 and I'm sad to read that there are quite a few of us on this thread. I'm also ashamed to admit that I smoked a ton of weed as a teen and young adult and sometimes use legally obtained THC now to no ill affect. I do think my brother was predisposed, and I'm concerned about the narrative that marijuana and psychedelics can treat psychiatric conditions. I don't doubt it, but it needs to be done in a controlled environment and there needs to be awareness of the dangers of recreational use for individuals with predispositions (and even those without). I don't want my kids using alcohol or any kind of controlled substance until they are adults, and even then I want them to proceed with caution. I hope my messaging and their knowledge of their uncle's situation is enough.[/quote]
