[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]

Happened to my nephew, now 22. Totally derailed his life. It took three intensive years and $$$$$ to get him semi-back on track. The toll on him and his parents (mentally emotionally and financially) is devastating.

My hilarious nephew is just not the same person he was in high school. Not sure if it’s the medication (he’ll always be on medication) but he seems kinda slower, jokes infrequently and has to sleep waaayy more; everything is just much harder and things just take much longer, for him. I worry it will also be hard for him to work a regular, fast-paced job.

We’re all thrilled he’s doing as well as he is and are so happy for him. It’s been hard work and is so hard to see.

I tell my kids (late teens) presume you may be susceptible. [/quote]

It happened to my eldest brother, and also a friend from college.

I am not buying the whole “only if predisposed” argument.

In many cases, I believe the weed  - especially todays super-potent weed - may actually be the cause.

In any event, marijuana is so destructive for developing teen brains.[/quote]

Happened to my 27 year old nephew as well and the 22 year old son of a good friend. We’ve lost the young men they once were. It’s so hard to bear witness to this. [/quote]
