    Mother who lost son to suicide believes marijuana use contributed to his mental breakdown

    A mother who lost her son to suicide says she believes his marijuana use contributed to his mental breakdown as new National Institutes of Health research suggests the drug is linked to a higher risk of schizophrenia.

    Heather Bacchus says her son Randy began using marijuana at 15-years-old and quickly had a cannabis use disorder within a year. He attended wilderness therapy and became a regular user after later moving to Colorado. By the time he was 21, his usage increased, and he experienced delusions and paranoia prior to his full psychotic break months before he took his life in July 2021.

    Marijuana use which has been pointed out in articles throughput this forum section, certainly is not a safe and harmless drug, as the cannabis industry portrays it.

    Marijuana not only degrades mental health, but physical health as well. That is a stone cold fact that can no longer be denied.
