My brother got heavily into weed at a young age (15-16). He developed strong schizophrenia. Was medicated which helped him, but went off the meds, left his wife, and died falling off a train that he was graffiting.
- toddkazakov 9y agoOr it was the schizophrenia that made him heavily addicted to weed?
- Sacho 9y agoAnd you attribute this development to the weed because correlation is causation?
- panacea 9y agoWell... both. But you're right.
- RHSman2 9y agoWeed (THC) can trigger mental episodes in those with a propensity for it. Sorry to hear that.
- ionised 9y agoI'm not going to claim that weed has absolutely no downsides like some recreational use fanatics, but I'm going to suggest that he was predisposed to mental illness with or without the weed. Though it did probably exacerbate it.
