My Son Had Cannabis-Induced Psychosis

Exactly!! Thank you!! Crazy legalization of this!

So agree!! We need to do that. I have shay

How many parents? This parallels our family's story very closely. 10 years later, still trying to get our lives back.

I had a cannabis induced episode 5 years ago, was completely delusional and was like in hell. The doctors never realised or treated me for it. I had another episode 3 years later with stress. The last year and a half I've been trying medications but nothing is making me better. I hope they'll find something.

P r o m o s m 🤗

I could write a book on this but I'll just say that the potential harms should be more commonly known. If you're doing this stuff and it makes you feel bad then stop doing it now. If you're having second thoughts about trying it or if you or your parents have any mental health conditions then listen to the warning and stop. I did a lot of lsd too so it's hard to tell what caused my issues but I too had adhd when I was younger and shouldn't have been doing this stuff. Don't create hell for yourself!

This channel is so important. Thank you for all that you do to raise awareness

My son is going through the same thing it’s been over a year 😢

Any goverment that legalise cannabis should be jailed!
It is shocking that they allow the young to take these drugs. It is seriously damaging to their health, and their brain. Their families. The goverments need to think clearly at what they are allowing. Because what they are doing is causing the young to have serious deficiency in their brains for their future adult life. So how on earth can they expect these individuals to hold down jobs, be successful, be rational. No one was born to take drugs!. It is not needed. How could a goverment think it's OK to damage their people? It's utter evil.
It has to stop. Because families are going through so much trauma.

Father induced psychosis is more common and more real. This is distasteful propaganda.

I’ve had a similar experience..there is hope. It isn’t going to be an easy way out. It will take longer than you expect but I agree that the harsh diagnosis is sophistry. But regardless of diagnosis, it’s going to be a process of biblical proportion to get one’s life back. It may even take longer than 5 years and that’s ok. Your son can come out better and stronger than before these problems if you put your trust and faith in a true source of goodness and then make that a lifestyle! God Bless

i am the mother of a 17y/o got just admitted to a psych ward with this exact catastrophic nightmare, thank you so so much for sharing this information

My brother is currently in this exact same situation. The symptoms and experience is exactly the same as you describe it. Thank you for sharing your story. I now am better informed.

I’ve had Cannabis psychosis at least 5 times and somehow I am still alive. This last time was the final wake up call for me. I cashed out all of my savings and investments and spent it all on stupid shit! I am now diagnosed bipolar disorder and am recovering from Cannabis psychosis and addiction for the rest of my life.

What a father!

Such great questions and answers. I agree with this dad, Marijuana is the new Meth!!

So sad, your Son was experiencing "Delusion of grandeur"
In this form of delusion, the person believes they are much greater or more influential than they really are. THC can trigger this type of delusion.

But how can one help an adult who feels this is their reality and refuses help?

Thanks for sharing your journey. I want to know which medicines and treatment helped your son. Im facing the exact situation with my son and we need help with the right treatment. ADHD with cannabis induced psychosis.

Thanks for sharing your experience , please tell me what medicines helped with recovery. My son has the same situation, ADHD with weed induced psychosis. Please help !

Experience that psychotic with my son psychosis and I swear he almost he ended up in juvenile hall we took him I took him to all the doctors I took him to the college hospital I took him to everywhere and nobody can figure out what it was it took the police for him to have a check when he was and to this day you still haven't got any help he doesn't smoke that he needs to stop because his dad had late onset schizophrenia I feel for the man I know how it feels it's really really really really really so drastic and now you know I still have that question he's doing good so far but I told him to keep up that now doesn't listen

this mans intro makes it hard to believe that he does not lie to himself constantly in order to feel like none of this shit is his doing

Very cool of this guy to share his story and put this out here for people to learn

I'm almost positive this is what my son is going through. He is in mental hospital right now. This is 2nd visit. No one ever mentioned weed induced psychosis. Praying him and everyone with addiction is freed from this stronghold. recovery.

Weed psychosis looks very similar to meth psychosis - and often doctors will treat you like a junky. Also often they misdiagnose you, and it takes many days to properly diagnose. In the mean time, you turn into drug experiment for big pharma, they start pumping all kinds of drugs into you to see what effect you have. Psychosis is basically very manic - its actually fun to be in psychosis because you have this amazing surge of dopamine. The problem is - that said person doesnt understand they are in psychosis. And they can do great damage to themselves or others. Even cause death.

Thank you for this program its very educational. I believe my 19 year old is definitely struggling with this. Its so difficult to help him because he denied the help. If anyone has idea please share. Thanks

Going through this now and my son refuses to take any medication. I have no idea what to do now.

Yeah I got psychotic off weed - smoked a whole bowl in 2001 - just flower. Smoked too fast. Sister got schizophrenia after smoking tons of weed in '95. It isn't JUST the concentrated stuff - they've known for decades it can trigger psychosis and schizophrenia. Many will say, "Oh it must have been laced" and that's obviously not the case. It seems weed is far more liable for psychosis than psychedelics.

Seems from the comments that it effects boys more then girls. There is zero scientific knowledge to this from me but it’s interesting.

There is Harvard Psychiatrist claiming to be able to actually heal patients with psychosis type illnesses by having them eat a Ketogenic diet. He did some brain scans on those patients and in many cases the damage was reversed just doing that.
I think it is worth a shot.

Wish you could interview him or another psychiatrist about cannabis and possible ways to heal from damage from it.

I call b.s. on this psychosis diagnosis. There is no such thing.

Celebration and flowers to the father who took his time sweat and dedication to love his son with his all and learning his sons problems and being able to tell his story too.

Love be upon all who wishes❤

I love you and so does Jesus🙏🏻

Amen

Can barely hear over the shitty stock music y'all need audio balancing badddd

What percentage of people has this problem with cannabis?

, I know it’s very relaxed and accepted here. My son has permanent Psychosis from smoking Weed. It’s so sad, and these kids really need to understand Brain needs to be fully developed. Weed has changed dramatically since 2000’s

This is a two way street. I can tell the parents had no idea who he was. They just needed him to be successful. Parents do not understand the pressure they put on children to perform. Kids will use weed to escape your prison.

Sounds like he hit the marijuana and finally realized his parents were not in control of his life. .

Thank you for sharing, we have been going through this for the last 9months, my son is on anti psychotic meds which we still are trying to get right to help him.

People repeatedly tell me that you cannot develop psychosis from cannabis use. I have first hand, up close experience with someone suffering extreme psychosis, schizoaffective disorder after smoking cannabis excessively. She has suffered for five long years while the mental health community says there’s nothing they can do for her. She must pursue psychiatric treatment on her own. This is not possible when you are suffering with chronic psychosis.

My 16-year-old son is currently in a psych ward for the second time in less than 6 months. He is saying the most vile and outright evil things to his father and I. It's extremely hard to hear the things coming out of his mouth. I'm fasting and praying for God to give me strength and wisdom because I honestly feel like I'm in a fog. They are recommending he goes to a dual-diagnosis residential home. I just don't know which program will be the best for him. The last one was a joke. I feel for all the parents out there. ❤

My son is going true this stage he was admitted to a mental facil 2 days ago any recommendation on doctor's in tbe state of florida?

Thank you thank you thank you!! My grandson has been in a mental institution for 3 months now because he used THC pens for almost 2 years .. he has been diagnosed with Schizophrenia triggered by THC use… they have changed his medication 3 times.. he was an extremely intelligent out going athlete… he is now a shell..and he still does not recognize it was the THC..

Very important information. Thank you so much for posting!

I call BS. There was already something wrong with this kids mind before..the weed just pushed him over the edge and his condition worsened.

This is an egomaniac not psychosis

In thought, when your thoughts begin to take a judgemental turn in sin, use the prayer " I renounce and repudiate all evil demons and spirits that want to use my own voice to hate and curse others, In Jesus Mighty Name, I Pray, amen"

My son is 24 and in psychosis right now for the third time from delta 8. He was diagnosed with bipolar 2 with delusions. Now I wonder

Bs

Related to this superiority thing with THC vs other drugs, I found it quite interesting to learn that Pablo Escobar wasn't using Cocaine but rather Cannabis was his drug of choice. I guess, he was having a severe Cannabis induced psychosis to think he would rule the world by his violence and terror acts.
