13. I have questions.

I had a wonderful and sweet and the most kind nephew. He never hurt anyone. Was so so loving.

He began smoking our highly potent LEGAL cannabis and this triggered psychosis. He became so scary and irrational. He never came back from it. Eventually he was diagnosed schizophrenic.

In the end he took his own life. I also know another TWO young men in their 20’s who became psychotic and later diagnosed with “drug induced schizophrenia”. Neither has come out of it since it began. One of them tries to self medicate with anything he can to make himself feel better. The other is on the 5th or 6th antipsychotic medication as none has worked so far.

I don’t believe we can judge that a person “willingly” does drugs. This can happen to anyone and it sadly happened to a public persona and his wife. This is tragic and I hope a thorough investigation is conducted by this young man’s defense team to bring to light this issue.

Look up: “cannabis induced psychosis”

Don’t know if this played a part. But if it did I hope the message gets out there. This is a thing!

Rest in peace Rob and his wife. Very sad indeed.
