MARIJUANA AND DELUSIONS




Andrew always had the voices to some degree.  We did not know it at the time, but he was a regular marijuana user, which intensified his delusions Andrew had never been more than an occasional beer drinker so I should not have worried about the beer; it was the marijuana that would so aggravate his delusions. It took me a couple of years to realize that when he would call me terrorized and anxious he would most likely have just smoked a joint. It is interesting that we did not know  Andrew was a regular pot user even though we later discovered that he smoked at home. I do not have a great sense of smell and I just did not get it. I guess we only see what we allow ourselves to see.
