15 year old and weed

[OnthePiste]

Hi posting on behalf of my good friend who's 15 year old DS is smoking weed regularly with friends. She is at her wits end and wants to show him a documentary or video about the long term detrimental effects of cannabis. Has anyone seen anything like this that I can recommend to her?

No idea on a video to help but your friend might find some helpful information on Talk to Frank.

I'd also encourage her to post in this section herself as there are often experienced MNers around.

DS24 had a psychotic episode, dropped out of uni and went to prison on an explosives charge - it all began with daily use of industrial strength skunk - I have witnessed psychosis as a result of weed at close quarters - it is rare but horrendous - my son is now sober, working and a lovely young man again - he is lucky - there is no telling them at the time - you can only attempt to guide them and keep a very close eye - on a happier note, all my son’s mates who were also heavy smokers at 14,15,16 grew up and grew out of it with no lasting effects - good luck 🧡

Thanks
