Hey, this is my first post here on weedcash network. I just have a question for the community if anyone has personal experience with psychosis personally or with a family member, have you discontinued or encourage your loved one to discontinue use of Cannabis to relax, easy anxiety etc?
I have a friend who has been hospitalised with early psychosis (unspecified but indications that it could be schizophenia), panic, suicidal thoughts and I have a feeling she may self-medicate with Cannabis while on prescription medication. She had used Cannabis for the first time in 2021 for panic before being hospitalised but she has a history of trauma since childhood that more than explains the cause of her psychosis. I'm not for a second saying Cannabis caused or contributed to it.
I gather that if you have psychosis it isn't advisable to use Cannabis from a medical standpoint but in people's own personal experience how have you acted in a similar situation?
I will encourage her to follow the doctor's instructions to the letter obviously but it would be good to get personal or anecdotal experiences of the same if any of you guys have had a similar situation before.
Obviously, I don't wish mental health problems on anybody but schizophrenia has 0.5%-1% prevalence in the population so it could be possible someone here knows something.
Hope you guys have a good weekend :)
