lack of sleep can cause weird behavior as well

maybe because he didnt have weed, caused some insomnia issues

then lack of sleep caused some mental issues

and maybe already predisposed to mental issues, and well these other factors all amplified the end result

So next morning, he has come down. He says that he didn't sleep for 2 days straight and combined with not having weed, he hallucinated for 6 hours straight.

I already know he has lots of mental issues. And he is addicted to weed (he further turns it into hash or whatever and concentrates it). But I also know that he did sleep for at least a few hours yesterday before the hallucinating happened.

Parents are saying that it was just a one-time thing.... I'm thinking this is a sign of worsening mental health.

Weed might not be, but the feeling people get from it can be.

You can't help people that don't want to be helped. I've tried helping others who don't want to fix their own problems and let it interfere with my life and they just don't change.

Sorry man.


This. Weed isn't physically addictive but it is very habitual.

Sounds like bs about the sleep reason if he did get a few hours before his episode

Should have filmed it.

Sounds like shit parenting if they let him smoke weed all the time.

Put him in the car, say you are going to Disneyland them dump his ass in a clinic to sober up.

To me this sounds serious. You need to get him to professional care especially if he's doing that while not under the active influence of a substance.

I'd start by making sure he gets adequate sleep every night.

Work up from there, if problems persist. Lack of sleep can make people weird.

He doesn't seem to be.

And I'm worried. Today he has been wandering around the house not talking much at all. He'll walk to the TV and turn it on, or get a bit of food, but it doesn't seem like he really achieve anything by going anywhere. It's like if I walked to the TV, turned it on, went to a channel, walked away. Go to get food, have like a bite of one thing, then walk around aimlessly. Right now he's standing in the kitchen just staring off into nothingness. He tried talking to me and my Dad earlier today, he expressed distress, but then said he didn't want to talk about it. Usually when he's like that, he's depressed/upset about his guitar. He had a panic attack today, so maybe he had more.

But he's just randomly walking around in the kitchen staring off. :( He's unusually quiet. The feeling around him that I get is somber and empty... I feel like he's confused. He isn't talking, but it doesn't seem like a somber withholding of emotion... I do sense pain though. This is all what I gather. He's blankly walking around.
