[QUOTE="MandaC, post: 765249, member: 32289"] Hi there. Sorry you are going through all this. It is hell on earth. I too am trying to detach my 23 year old son at the moment AGAIN and it is the hardest most depressing thing ever. You might be better than me at navigating this sight and be able to find my past posts and replys to give you an idea of my back story. But with regards to the weed induced pychosis... my son smoked weed heavily for around 4 years . He didnt show any signs of psychosis whilst smoking it although there were obvious signs of paranoia and anxiety. I dont know how many times , whilst stoned he demanded i call an ambulance for him because he was convinced he was having a heart attack but it would turn out to be anxiety, heart racing etc. But with him, when he did eventually listen to me and agree to stop smoking it, it was 3/4 days after he stopped that the psychosis began. I managed to have him sectioned under the mental health act here in Scotland and although they did abdolutely nothing for him , partly perhaps because he was uncompliant to treatment , he did recieve a diagnosis of drug induced psychosis. That was mabey around 2 years ago. He remains uncompliant to treatment , infact refuses treatment altogether. I know for a fact that he hasnt smoked weed since but he is most definately still has psychosis. His latest strange behaviour is buying himself a pendulum and wants to hypnotise everyone, including me, turning up at friends doors, friends he has not seen for years and asking to hypnotise them. So, in his case, the psychosis hasnt gone away. He definately needs anti psychotic medication. But i also know that with some people, the psychosis does gradually go away when they stop smoking it.
