SUMMARY:Monthly Speakers Meeting- Tim Scott-recovery cannabis psychosis
DESCRIPTION:In this new era of industrialized THC\, families need support and hope. Please join us on the 2nd Wednesday of every month for messages of healing from the impacts of marijuana and the expanding drug crisis.  There will be a Q&A at the end of each meeting. This meeting may be recorded at the presenter’s discretion. \nThis month Tim Scott will sharehis story. He states: \n“In late May of 2020 I had a psychotic break from vaping marijuana and was hospitalized after my suicide attempt. After my hospitalization I had no more delusions and slowly my brain got back to normal. I had 3 more mental hospital visits (September 2020 for depression: the rebound from the mania I had earlier that year. Jan of 2022 for mania with suicidal idealations: i started smoking pot again because my therapist had me convinced their must have been something in the vape cartridge that made me go psychotic. Apparently he didnt realize marijuana could cause psychosis. In that hospitalization was when I learned pot was a trigger for my mania(i’m bipolar). I stopped marijuana altogether after that hospitalization. In November of 2023 I was hospitalized for anxiety. I actually thought I was going psychotic again\, and was scared that my brain might go back to the final delusion I had when I tried to commit suicide back in June of 2020.  \nI havent touched pot since the hospitalization in Jan of 2022 and i’m stable. I’ve been stable (not manic) since November of 2024 when my mania suddenly stopped.  \nMy book\, A Story That Must Be Told: A Memoir of Marijuana-Induced Psychosis\, covers my psychotic break. I just started a follow-up book that goes more into my mental health journey as a whole and the knowledge I’ve learned along the way.  \nRegister for this meeting at this link. Once registered\, you will be sent a Zoom link to join the meeting that you can save to your calendar. You will not be required to register again if you have already registered for a previous Speakers Meeting.
