Ep. 188- The Marijuana Conversation No One Wants to Have: Psychosis, High-Potency THC & Two Mothers’ Stories

What if marijuana isn’t as harmless as many people have been led to believe?In this powerful episode of the North Idaho Experience Podcast, we sit down with Aubrey Adams and Mary Moss of Every Brain Matters, two mothers whose families have experienced devastating struggles they associate with high-potency THC, addiction, and cannabis-induced psychosis. Mary shares how her high-achieving son began using marijuana and concentrates before experiencing paranoia, delusions, hospitalization, and a years-long battle toward recovery.Aubrey shares her own family’s experience after marijuana legalization in Colorado and explains why those experiences ultimately led her into advocacy and education through Every Brain Matters.The conversation goes far beyond marijuana legalization. Drawing on the guests’ personal experiences and the hosts’ backgrounds in law enforcement, we discuss high-potency THC, dabbing, cannabis-induced psychosis, mental health, addiction, homelessness, youth drug use, fentanyl, rehabilitation, tough love, and the changing drug landscape in America.We also wrestle with the difficult questions: Where does personal freedom end and public health begin? Is today’s marijuana fundamentally different from the weed of previous generations? What happens when addiction collides with mental illness? And are families being given enough information to understand the potential risks?This isn’t a surface-level debate about whether marijuana is “good” or “bad.” It’s an emotional, challenging conversation about parents fighting for their children, people struggling to recover, and the consequences these families believe deserve greater public attention.Whether you support legalization, oppose it, or haven’t made up your mind, this episode will give you perspectives worth hearing.If someone in your family is struggling with marijuana use, psychosis, or addiction, this is an episode you’ll want to hear and share.🔗 Learn more & find support: Every Brain Mattershttps://everybrainmatters.org/https://www.safehealthytexas.org/https://mar-anon.com/https://www.instagram.com/everybrainmatters?igsh=bTUycGswdHBxcG04Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/northidahoexperience/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/northidahoexperienceYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHz9XczupyJ93VRtqfQEW-gFor the most up-to-date real estate listings check out our North Idaho Experience mobile app - click above to start searching today!https://apps.apple.com/us/app/north-idaho-experience/id6755906887Grab our Relocation Guide: https://sholink.to/RelocationYour Ultimate Selling Game Plan guide: https://sholink.to/Sellerguide💼 Interested in sponsoring a future episode or collaborating with us?Email us at [email protected] 🛠 For Real Estate Services or Questions:Contact us at [email protected]: 208-618-4421Sponsored by:North Idaho Arms, LLC4013 West Riverbend Avenue, Post Falls, Idaho 83854(208) [email protected]://northidahoarms.com/Finding Freedom Idaho INCEqual housing opportunity======
