Weed is Making People Schizophrenic | Ep 1022

[@emilylovins7572]

I grew up with marijuana advocates. No one in my family had a problem with weed, and no one considered it a "drug". I started smoking from a very young age, and continued on into adulthood. My husband and I (then boyfriend) would buy a quarter pound every month, like clock work. Smoked weed everyday, throughout the day for years, and years. My relationship with God made me quit. It's been about two, two and a half years since I've smoked, and my head has never been so clear. I can't imagine smoking weed again. If you would have told me, that I would have felt this way a few years ago, I would have thought you were insane. I was the pot head that claimed, "weeds not a drug", "pot makes you smarter", "it's medicine", "I cant sleep without it", "I see more clearly when I smoke, and it makes things better". You could never have convinced me otherwise. The truth of the matter is, when you smoke marijuana, it is getting you HIGH. If you need maurijuana for it's medicinal properties, there's other ways in which you can take it, so 'getting high' isn't a side effect. The "weeds not a drug, it's a plant" argument - peyote, cocoa leaf, opium, are all plants too. Like I said before, my head has never been clearer, and I can't go back to that clouded perception. In reality weed helped me with nothing, even though I claimed it helped with so much. Just the habit of it is hard to break. I still have moments here and there where I think, "a joint would be nice right now". Then I think about how it made me feel, how I feel now, and Im so good. Praise God for convicting my heart to stop that stuff, quitting it permanently did nothing but improve my life all around.

You may not want to use cannabis - but please show me where in The Bible God forbids it? You guys know there are millions of people who use cannabis with no problem right? For many people cannabis is a medicine. That would be why God hasn't forbidden anything we today call 'drugs'. Christians saying cannabis is sin or is forbidden need to re-read The Bible and stop teaching false doctrine. Links between cannabis and 'schizophrenia' have been debunked. Another thing you may want to find in The Bible is this medical creation 'schizophrenia'.

[@jasonrobinson4594]

@@lafayetteplace3031 Cannabis is different. You can partake of alcohol and not get drunk. Cannabis causes instant intoxication. It can affect not only the user but those around the user. Would you be ok if a someone who was high was flying a commercial jet you were on? Would you allow someone high to drive down the highway? This is why there needs to be a level of control. A government engages in a social contract to protect its citizens from without AND from within. And if this stuff can cause psychosis, and it can, then something needs to be done.

As an ER nurse, we’ve admitted more people since the legalization of weed for hyperemesis due to cannabis abuse than we did prior to it being legal. We’ve also had more patients in total panic mode from eating too many edibles and have to let them sleep it off. (Which is a waste of resources.)

They slid through an intersection and wrapped the car around a tree. She sees no issue with her actions. She did this again with her best friend who didn't hurt anyone but did get arrested. They are all still driving under the influence because they see no issue with it. We get calls at 3am from her constantly because she's having a mental breakdown after smoking a bunch of weed. It's put her in the hospital numerous times with a mental breakdown. My beautiful sister is turning into someone i can't recognize. Weed is breaking her mind and she sees no issue with it.

It has been about a year and I am joyful and healthy. It is so possible for her to be free from these chains through the power of Jesus. NEVER STOP PRAYING!!!! One day it will turn around, St Monica prayed for her son Augustine for most of his life to turn from his wicked ways and he is now a doctor of the Catholic church. She prayed for years and never gave up. One day she will wake up and her eyes will be opened I also think that this world deceives us in thinking that it is not harmful and other people can do it and function so why cant I, I will pray for her clarity and the grace of desire for goodness, health, and to see the value in herself and her life.

[@snopure]

The additional danger of pot is that other stuff gets mixed in there, often for the sake of making it cheaper. Pot itself might be the cause of the hallucinations, or it could be the mystery substance. It's so dangerous though, as the pot could easily be laced with fentanyl. Advocates turn a blind eye to this host of problems associated with pot.

Are you serious? You think weed is gonna bring down society? 😂😂😂 Y'all are crying about weed. Have you ever seen a heroin addict before? I've seen several heroin addicts in my life and they all say the same thing, alcohol was their gateway drug. Alcohol is one of the most deadly addictive substances on the planet and yet I never hear conservatives say a word about it. It kills millions. Xanax is highly addictive and yet everyone seems to have no problem when it's prescribed by a doctor to some 13 year old kid, Xanax also causes serious depression. Prozac increases suicidal thoughts in depressed people, yet I still don't hear conservatives saying anything about the deaths that prozac or Xanax have caused. But they wanna cry about a plant that has harmed absolutely no one? Seriously name one person that has died from a "marijuana overdose"? You can't because it's never happened. I've done plenty of drugs in my life so trust me when I tell you that even if I believed that weed is a problem for this country, I would still say that it's the very least of our problems. This country has way bigger fish to fry right now, leave weed alone and worry about the other problems this insane country has.

Thank you for speaking about this Allie. Multiple people in my family have struggled with marijuana addiction. I also used to struggle as well… nothing gripped me like marijuana and I couldn’t quit until marijuana abuse led me to a diagnosed THC psychosis which led me to complete sobriety and giving my life to Christ. I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. I’m lucky to have come out on the other end of that okay . I thought I was the only one who experienced this because everyone acted like it’s some miracle substance with no side effects. I felt so alone because of nobody talking about this! My therapist mentioned all the people he has talked with who now have schizophrenia from weed and told me I should be grateful that didn’t happen to me (since I was so depressed from having the psychosis happen to me.) I thanked God for saving me from it getting that far. If I could change anything in my life, I would have NEVER touched weed. Not only that but my heart rate went through the roof during that experience and I was rushed to the ER via ambulance- I couldn’t breathe and thought I was going to die. The worst substance in the world for MANY people. One of my most important goals in my life is to keep my kids from ever wanting to try it.

I’m really glad you are talking about this. I had a rough childhood that involved lots of abandonment by fathers and abuse by father figures. I was actually in the hospital for weeks with a ruptured intestine, severe peritonitis, and shouldn’t be alive today from the abuse of a step father. It was my twin sister and older brother. My older brother was our protector, but he was about 4-10 when we experienced so much betrayal by men. My sister and I were 4 years younger. Thankfully my mother and grandparents were strong believers, and we grew up with a strong faith in the Lord. Going what we went through, and seeing the Lord move in such miraculous ways including my miraculous healing in the hospital, made me and my sister have an unwavering faith in Jesus since we were young. We finally started experiencing stability by the time by brother was about 11-12. But…that’s when someone introduced him to weed. I watched him become very dark and angry. I watched him throw things, take knives to the walls, break things, and scream the most horrible things. I saw him constantly get kicked out of school all through middle school and high school, get arrested, and end up in alternative school. I watched weed and then other drugs come into the home. I watched him deal drugs inside and outside of my house. I watched his friends ask my sister and I if we wanted any. That was a hard no. We hated what all that was doing to our brother. We watched him constantly hallucinate and become absolutely crazy. This was all in the late 90s early 2000s. I watched him drop out of high school. I have seen him father 6 children that we know of with 4 different women. I have watched all of his kids be taken from him. I have watched my parents raise his teenage kids. I have watched him go to every rehab program that exists, get sober, everyone get hopeful, and then watch him relapse and break hearts again and end up in jail. I have watched his children suffer. I have watched him get constantly diagnosed with mental illnesses like schizophrenia or manic depression and biopolar disorder, but doctors not really knowing for sure because he hasn’t really been sober for very long since he was 12. But all of these medications leads to MORE meds that he misuses. Watching weed and then all the other drugs destroy and take my brother from me has been one of the most painful things in my life other than all the childhood abuse and trauma. I have a letter from him from jail right now on my nightstand that I haven’t been able to read yet. He is awaiting prison now. Jail is a great place for him because he has stability, and everything is regulated. He preaches the gospel in jail, and leads Bible study. I pray he stays there for a long time which is terrible, but he honestly is better in jail than out in the real world. All that to say, I have single handily watch weed destroy a young boy who needed to process his trauma and abandonment issues in a healthy way. Weed robed him of that opportunity. He is emotionally still a 12 year old boy stuck in the 90s. It should never be in the hands of young kids and teens. Never. And I don’t believe anyone should have any age should get their hands on it because it’s not healthy to escape from your problems even as adults. And also because it simply destroys your brain and emotional maturity. Just the smell of weed is triggering for me and it’s everywhere. Even here in Dallas where it’s not legal. I really pray that laws makers wake up. Anyway, if you read this far, thank you and God bless! 🤪😆

Yeah; I did read all that and also spent time looking to God to try to see and understand. I do know words don't really say much compared to what you experience in a way to say what is to see here, but we all experience things simultaneously and attention gets blamed on guesses at what assumptions are made from what can be seen from a distance. As you may have heard; "you had to be there to really understand" sort of situations. However; we all are exposed to what our ancestors called "demons" in our minds. This is why knowing the word of God helps recognize the kinds of thoughts are going in the wrong direction and God's Spirit throws up red flags to bring awareness to keep focused on God's Spirit and the mind of Christ. As Jesus promised; The Holy Spirit reminds us of scriptures and brings back to our remembrance everything He has said and showed us. He takes me back to the same visions He gave me to teach me things I never noticed before I don't know how many times. Anyway; then you have others who's hearts are filled with desire that is of the flesh. It really doesn't matter if those people were drinking alcohol or on some pills or smoking or shooting up; it's the things in their hearts that defile them. It's not because they were fathers or guys or because of their skin color or anything like that because anyone of any gender or race or addiction to soda or cell phones all can either go down one path or another that leads to whatever end they choose just as you and I have to guard our own hearts and pay attention to the instructions of our Creator. It is hard to know how all of what you went through effected you; but if you do belong to God through Christ Jesus, you were very blessed by even the worst of it. God uses everything we go through if we are truly His and you will praise God for all eternity for the things you'll never understand on this side of eternity.

Self-control is a fruit of the spirit. We can't really expect an unbeliever to have self-control. Regulation is a secular solution. The gospel is our solution.

Then there is no need for laws against stealing or murder etc or drunk driving. Society needs to set standards otherwise we will have more chaos. Just like raising children, you need standards. Yes they will defy you at times & self control is the goal but no standards gives a green light to evil.

[@Brityf]

I didn't say regulation isn't a solution. I said it's a secular solution. My issue isnt with whether or not regulation should exist. Its with equating regulation with the work of the Spirit. If we were a nation of nothing but true believers regulation wouldn't be necessary. But it's very harmful to criticize as she did. To verbally attack people instead of speaking truth in love. We should be speaking of the harm and the good news of what God can do. Regulation is because people aren't born again believers to know right and wrong objectively. We cannot accost the lost for a lack of self control. Not when the biblical worldview equates self-control as a fruit of the spirit. Lost people act lost. Otherwise they wouldn't need Jesus. Regulation does not produce self-control. Regulation produces fear of consequences that keeps one in control. Self-control comes from the righteousness that we receive from being in Christ.

Thanks for the information........🙄 Too vague to be helpful. I used to regularly smoke weed, and I used it as a crutch. Which was bad. But it was not as bad as many RX drugs, nor as bad as alcohol or cigarettes in many ways. That being said, less is more. I think alcohol and marijuana should be legal to adults. But it should be regulated properly and should be used responsibly. We can't really force that....but it's important. If we had more parents responsible and actively raising their own children vs relying on public schools etc.....this would be less of an issue. Less would use this stuff and more would hopefully become responsible adults too. I have maybe two alcoholic drinks per year, maybe s puff of a low THC joint or 1/2 a micro gummy a few times a year. I went through longer phases where I had drank everyday to sleep, to socialize, and smoking to do the same. The year I got out of the army I was high most of that year. That was not good. Thankfully it was mostly what I grew and it was with a medical license. It was not yet bred to be as strong as it is now. But still, I was not aware of my poor mental health, I didn't have Jesus in my life, and I was raised poorly/passively. My mom was there to punish me when I messed up and to use me when she needed attention. I had to raise myself after I was already an adult. On the other side of the coin, my dad has been addicted to weed for decades. Rarely taking a break. It's awful. But he's always had mental health issues too. Ironically he's otherwise very healthy....he's in his 60s and lifts over his weight everyday, and runs up mountains most days. But his memory is trash lately, dementia doesn't run in his family like that. He's definitely losing good sense and couldn't even open my normal lock on the door. After not smoking for almost a day. Because he is so backed up with weed. I remember when I was smoking regularly and started to come off of it when I accepted salvation. I did a lot less than my dad and less THC but it did take about four days to feel completely normal again. I had been smoking it about 6 times per week at that time. I don't think we need to stop adults from using because kids can't handle it. That's nonsense logic. We also have to talk about the line....when fast food, prescription drugs and caffeine do more consistent harm than weed ......where's the line? For the sake of freedom we need to not over-regulate. It's a balance. I don't think we should allow such high THC. That's been an issue from the start of legalizing. No regulations of that because it was profitable to take advantage of the very addicts we're speaking of being a problem.... Using them as guinea pigs for strains that didn't exist before. The hospitals also are not held accountable for what they do.... I once did go to the emergency from having too much of an edible mixed with other prescription medications. I was legitimately laughed at a bunch and charge thousands of dollars for them to do nothing. It made me feel like I was a wimp for not being able to handle it. Not that I should stop. But as an adult that's a decision we have to make. I think decriminalizing it is important. No one should go to jail or be fined for having weed ...... Unless there's obvious intent to sell. Certain amounts should be allowed for personal/private property for adults. Should be allowed to grow my own...And if sold in stores shouldn't be allowed to sell past a certain level of THC just like RX drugs aren't supposed to be sold at greater strength until tested enough. (Which honestly is still pretty inadequate but at least it's better than nothing).

[@quesostuff1009]

I think an effective way to inform people of the dangers of weed is to have former smokers come and share their experience on what made them start , how it felt and why they quit and seeing the changes in life ever they did so I find titles like these to be very sensational, and while informative. Sometimes they can have the opposite effect. Especially if this is echoed by those who have never smoked Weed out of all the substances seems to have a far lower risk factor than prescription drugs or alcohol. And the CBD components actually contain medically beneficial properties, but I’d still advocate for not picking up a bad habit. Don’t really know how it can affect you, especially if you don’t know where your supply is. But you also don’t know how life is going to hit you where you may develop bad coping mechanisms where now overuse can exits

[@ari3lz3pp]

CBD isn't habitual more than taking ginger would be....I've taken it and my child does to help with ADHD stimulation and ASD related inflammation. We can intermittently take breaks and I think it resets the benefits vs building a tolerance. We just basically go back to square one for those days without CBD, it's not like we are worse off. We just have more inflammation like before taking CBD regularly. I was using weed regularly for a long time. I can say that is different. THC is different. Also the habits related to any smoking (I was also very addicted to cigarettes and clove cigarettes), is another ball game. How that feels is very different. CBD is nasty and like medicine, usually put under the tongue or in a drink. It's not pleasant. Smoking IMO is itself addicting in the whole process (minus perhaps smelling like smoke etc). Cigarettes were hard to quit. But I had to from pregnancy then after breastfeeding I went right back for a few years. I stopped but picked up weed instead. For about two years I was smoking about 6 days a week. Vaping mostly or some edibles. I definitely had breathing issues sometimes. But I still do...I think it's more from phatlates and cigarettes. I started to have less weed when saved because I just didn't feel it was giving me a mental boost anymore. It actually started to become really hard to find low-THC strains from trustworthy sources. I was noticing how much anxiety I actually got from too much weed, and circulation issues when high. (My sister in LAW also had this). I felt things were moving too fast for the first half an hour or so. Then it was fun/relaxing. But I did take notes of things I thought were profound or told my husband etc and later it was embarrassing how it was either really stupid or just not profound but obvious stuff. Lol I can't think of an example ...but maybe "when we are cold, we seek sleep and want to hibernate, just like the bears, mammals all have this in common!" And I'd think it was such a neat idea. 😂 Sadly I've noticed similar from my dad who has been a stoner for like 3 decades. But worse- not even his own ideas. He watched videos on YT from other stoners that say silly things like this and he will parrot it thinking it's so genius. If anyone points out that it's not, or even if it's wrong...he will get defensively offended. The real problem is his memory is trash, other than weed and occasional alcohol he is very healthy. Lifts and runs up mountains most days in his 60s.. I think the weed ruined his brain. The other day he couldn't open my front door, to unlock a basic lock. No one has ever had an issue with it. 😢 I was worried and asked if he should be driving and he said he wasn't even high, hadn't smoked since the evening before (it was about 1 pm at this point the next day)! So if you wanna share that...go ahead! I suppose I will too. I'm not even 100% against it. I think it CAN be used in moderation. I think about having a microdose sometimes.....I've had about 3 microdose in the past two years. It's mostly just being a convicted Christian with a relationship with Jesus that I don't feel drawn to it as much. I also don't have a convenient lifestyle for it. If I didn't have responsibilities maybe I'd be using it more often but as it sits I don't. I don't think it should be illegal, but I also don't think it should be totally legal, it's not regulated enough as it sits. I think I should be allowed to use it as an adult and to grow my own. As long as I don't sell it at all or give it to minors. One major issue today why people are hospitalized is probably due to pre existing conditions (it's already known that weed enhances psychotic disorders), and weed being made so strong now by selective breeding. This level of weed hasn't been studied enough.

We need more responsible parenting, that's the first step as for protecting kids from drug abuse. Even caffeine is abused, and fast food kills more people. But that's not regulated.

@@ari3lz3pp I should clarify and say that CBD in itself is not the problem. It’s literally the medicinal value that weed provides and there’s strong evidence that using CBD over the traditional opioids currently prescribed in the medical field would help a lot of people with the wiretaps and general deterioration of continual use or habitual use, or misuse. I think I’m specifically talking about the people who say it’s good for you when they are really just doing weed to get high or get that feeling I am glad you brought out your testimony. And whether or not you take a stance that it should be flat out banned or regulated or the gov has no business telling me what I can and can’t consume I think most people can agree that you can def smoke weed /consume weed for wrong reasons. And while a habitual weed user def health wise has less risks than an alcoholic. It’s still not a way to live (you know when people who need to smoke before they can eat or do anything) I still stand with those who never have done it. To stay away from it. No need to develop a habit that can go left. That’s also a legit convo being ignored with how weed is being consumed and how that affects your health. For instance smoking stuff, anything will lead to tar build up in your lungs. Those carts that are currently out are unfortunately not as well regulated as they should be. And the general trend that the weed strains just keep getting stronger and stronger doesn’t help either I hope people can at least realize you don’t need to do drugs to have fun in life. I won’t act like there aren’t people who aren’t responsible with the consumption. And that it all has to be bad. But if you haven’t picked it up. I’d just say don’t start. Your wallet will thank you

[@SunKissedBaddie]

I used to edibles regularly for sleep while I was working night shifts at a hospital. The combination of edibles and working 12 hour night shift (7 days on and then 7 days off) sent me into a literal psychotic break. I had to leave that job and went on to spend a week in a psych hospital. It was shortly after that that I started doing my own research and realized how negatively marijuana affects your brain ESPECIALLY if you have a family history of mental illness. Schizophrenia exists in my family history and learning that marijuana can trigger it was enough for me to say, “no more”. I was “diagnosed” as bipolar in the hospital, but as soon as I stopped self medicating with marijuana and alcohol all of my symptoms went away. ALSO, My conspiracy theory brain: One day I woke up and it dawned on me… why would a certain political party suddenly be SOOOOO in favor of legalizing a substance that effects your brain chemistry, makes you lazy and makes you stupid? And why are these dispensaries popping up in urban communities? That was what made me not only stop using it, but made me adamantly against legalizing it.

My sweet uncle was a huge pothead when he was in college and ended up becoming paranoid schizophrenic. He was “on the run” for 30-40 years, believing that people were after him. Based on the information my family was able to glean, he had traveled all over the US. He’d visit my grandma’s house maybe every few years or so, but he had an unusually long stretch where nobody saw him for over 10 years. By God’s grace, last year when he ended up in a hospital halfway across the country due to an old injury acting up, the staff was able to find my grandma’s phone number and contact her. After over 10 years he, my grandma, and his siblings were reunited. He’s now living comfortably in a really nice nursing home near my family, and seems to feel somewhat safe there since it’s been over a year and he hasn’t tried running.

I used to smoke weed regularly. Generally speaking, it helped with my depression and anxiety.However, like many other things, it can become an idol and can become a stronghold. That said, I don't support any government control of cannabis or much else for that matter. And surely you know that the FDA is almost always 💯 wrong.

[@ari3lz3pp]

I understand what you're saying about the FDA. I do think the core of this problem is a lack of parenting.... Adults have a harder time becoming responsible adults and thus responsible substance users if they weren't parented properly. And of course when it comes to minors getting a hold of these substances and not knowing how to self-regulate in general is a parenting problem. However I do think that this needs to be regulated I think that we should be allowed to grow weed as adults as long as we keep it away from minors. We shouldn't be allowed to just sell it to other people either. I think that if it's going to be sold in stores the THC needs to be limited as well. They're using the public as guinea pigs with outrageous levels of THC that were never used before and that's one of the reasons for such triggering strains that cause increased psychosis and other issues even with heart attacks. It's a legitimate concern. Unfortunately I've seen my own dad fall prey to this because he is an addict. He's been regularly using weed for the majority of three decades. Of course when he was baked he wasn't making the most sense and would say silly things just like any of us do.... But for his regular daily regimen where he wasn't totally baked and was just a little buzzed off of it... He was still able to be productive and logical. After it was legalized in California and he started chasing higher THC strains.... I noticed he started to lose it. I've know a lot of people that have had memory problems in the past few years and usually I contribute that to the people that got the vaccine. My dad absolutely did not get the vaccine and he's actually one of the healthiest people I know.... In his '60s and runs at mountains most days and lifts over his body weight most days. And yet his brain is turning to mush. His memory is crap and his reasoning is also going out the window. Not genetic in his family either. It's got to be the weed. I gradually stopped using as much weed because of being saved and accepting salvation I simply didn't feel the need for it as much anymore...... I definitely still had times where I wanted to for a little fun just like a glass of wine. I started to notice that even low dose was too much for me a lot of the time so I legitimately have to have just one puff or half of microdose. People like my dad act really crazy and put a lot of peer pressure on me when I bring this up because they say it's impossible that I would be high from one puff etc. 😢 Now I use a microdose maybe three times in a year... Same with having an alcoholic beverage maybe three times a year. But I honestly do think that's because of being saved. My father is not a Christian. So unfortunately that's just the way it goes when it comes to these things for adults. But when you say you want no government regulation whatsoever that means that miners would be able to freely use it and that is ludacris. I do think that is not sensible to make substances legal for adults just because minors shouldn't have it.

I think Allie is too quick to dismiss the medicinal properties the plant could have. It is something God created, and I certainly think it has its uses. It strikes me that using sparingly, like alcohol, is no bad thing or sin. It's when it has a hold on you, that it becomes a problem.

I was urge to smoke by someone I know because I had been on psych medications and they made everything worse and nobody knew what to do with me and I was falling apart. I had been against it for so long but I finally gave in because nothing was working. My in-laws were taking my children for the weekend so I figured if I did it the day they left by the time they get back I would most surely be fine. Well, I smoked a joint and then ate some cereal and then watch TV and and took a nap. The next day I woke up and could actually function. I hadn't been sleeping and I was so nutrient deprived that I had cracks in the corners of my mouth and my tongue look like a sandstone. It started helping me sleep at night and then I was more calm and rested during the day. I started noticing I had a lot less pain and a lot less anxiety. So many people talk about they had smoked for years and then started having problems but my problems came before I started smoking. Now I use Edibles because they just work better for me and don't cause the head high, it's mostly just my body relaxes and everything doesn't hurt so much that I can't move.

Thank you for doing this episode and sharing the real evidence of the dangers of weed. We have first hand experience in our home. We watched it destroy our son. It is HIGHLY addictive, especially in dab pen form. We watched consequences of addiction like multiple lost jobs, broken relationships, depression, erratic behavior, and a change in personality. Praise God he reached out for some help. He stopped using and got into the Air Force which was always his goal. He is clear headed, has a clear mind and loves his job. He was lied to and believed it was "helping" him. I never backed down on the dangers of this and spoke the truth and did my research.

I'm really grateful for this information ❤ There is a history of affective disorders and schizophrenia in my family. It's really important that my kids know not to do any drugs that are hallucengenic because it could trigger the onset of one of these disorders that will basically last for the rest of their life. I wouldn't have guessed that the link between psychosis and weed was so strong and that weed is also hallucenogenic, but now I know!

I’ve actually experienced a short high from coming in contact with people smoking who happen to be walking by (in the city, on walks along a trail in the woods) I’ve smoked in my past so I know how it feels and it’s honestly anxiety producing for me. As someone who wants to have children, I loathe the idea of them being exposed to it ‘accidentally’ from people not considering other humans around them. I’m so glad to have stopped many years ago (including all alcohol) and have no interest in it anymore. I love the sober life, praise God. He helped me out of many things.

I agree with you, Allie, children deserve sober parents. I also agree that it’s likely that parents need community, church and prayer more than they need weed. I know that people have come after you for your tone and for being judgmental, and I have some things to offer as far as that goes. I think that while you don’t have to have experienced something to have an opinion, and that judging something, not someone, is not wrong; you do have a way of speaking flippantly towards things that you haven’t experienced or maybe just don’t understand. When you interview people unlike yourself, you always have this gentleness about you and it’s so loving the way you approach them. Sometimes I am thrown off by the way you speak when it’s just a monologue or something. I listen to every episode and truly appreciate your perspective and often agree with your harsh tone. I don’t think you were harsh today, just sort of lacking depth in your response to those struggling in motherhood and finding outlets that aren’t helpful. I know you likely won’t see this, but if anyone else felt this way I just wanted to say it and throw it out there. ❤

I had a friend in high school very normal kid very active in football and basketball baseball and even track. He smoked weed and one day him and a group of us smoked weed we had no ill effects but he went into such a deep psychosis that he was hospitalized and keep in a ward for almost 3 months! Hes never been the same since. He lost all scholarships he had and now hes just existing he not mentally well today and this was in 2011. When i tell people this story they always say oh weed was laced but it wasn't same shit we always smoked and all 9 of us were fine he was the only one effected. He wasnt on any other medications or percribed anything before he wasnt on anything else at all it just broke his psychi idont know if some unknowingly are more comprised then others. Because when people do drugs mental illnesses arise and come out so much more intense than beforehand but he was so normal before all this...

There is a serious lack of accountability in a lot of these comments. Like how do you explain all of the highly successful people who consume - myself included?

I used to be a big smoker, and stopped awhile back bc it started giving me panic attacks and paranoia. And now as a believer, I do not partake, but never really felt very strongly about it or if ppl did it.

I constantly smell it everywhere, I see ppl doing it all the time. When I had my windows open during nicer weather, I could smell it inside my house which really bothered me. I see neighbors doing it in front of their small kids or smoking it at the community pool.

I am a lifelong consumer of "weed", 47 years old. I am not unique amongst my family, friends and acquaintances. The only cases of mental illness amongst consumers I am aware in my time have all had genetic predisposition, though withdrawal or overdose from "weed" definitely exacerbated things. A lot of people with mental illness gravitate towards "weed" because it definitely does alleviate the symptoms once a tolerance is built. Withdrawal brings them crashing back. I think there is a lot of confusion here. I am far from convinced that "weed" causes mental illness, I've seen it do more to help than harm. I am wary of studies and who funds them and there is so much anecdotal evidence available, most of us will draw our own conclusions anyway. By the way, it's cannabis, if you want people to take you seriously rather than assume fear-mongering.

Unfortunately our oldest son didn’t follow our rules and what we model at home. Unfortunately fentanyl took him from us three years ago on June 25th. We & he tried so many times and he would be so happy when he graduated from different programs. We were convinced he would stay in recovery & be who God made him to be. He talked about it a lot. Thankfully he did make a profession of Faith in Jesus years ago & we will see our son again. Addiction doesn’t discriminate . Anyone can come from the best Christian background with 2 loving parents and still make a deadly choice.

You said what I have been saying for years. I was 15 when I started smoking pot, which was triggered by drinking beer. And I would agree that depending who you are, pot is a gateway drug to the next substance. I went as far as acid and mushrooms a couple times, and later cocaine. By the grace and mercy of God I didn't have a lot of money and couldn't buy much of anything. No matter what anyone may say, pot is not as innocent as people think and can turn you into a worthless person. I know quite a few people who are definitely not the same people I used to know. It does alter your mind just like alcohol, but more manageable when doing specific things. I said it was a bad idea to legalize it, and low and behold, here we are. To each his own. I prefer keeping my mind as sober as possible and staying focused on my relationship with God.
