Research has shown that childhood trauma (s***** abuse) can be a major contributing factor in adolescent development/onset of schizophrenia/paranoid psychosis.
As for Marijuana use causing it, studies have shown that in these cases there is usually already an underlying psychiatric disorder (often stemming from childhood trauma). People with no prior mental issues don’t usually just suddenly “become” schizophrenic, as he would try to have everyone believe. That’s not to say the mental illness isn’t there, it is…but the overall opinion is that it’s from the s***** abuse by his father (who of COURSE says its not true, he’s not a child molester…as if any of them ever say yes they are?) not smoking some weed with his friends.
Highly suspicious especially since those closest to these people know that the story started out one way and kind of morphed over the years to fit the narrative that the son just up and suddenly developed paranoid schizophrenia out of the blue one day after smoking some weed, conveniently leaving out the fact that the child has always maintained that he was abused both physically and s******* by his father.
I personally am not buying it since the father is a know narcissist who is also a pathological liar, chronic cheat, and hyper-s*****/closet pervert.
