One evening in Thousand Oaks, California, life took a tragic turn after Bryn started her career as a Doctor of Audiology at UCLA. Bryn experimented with cannabis, unaware of its potential dangers. Unbeknownst to her, she inhaled a large hit of highly potent THC, which triggered a rapid descent into psychosis. In her altered state, her perception of reality was severely distorted, leading her to react to intense hallucinations. In a frantic attempt of fear, Bryn grabbed a kitchen knife, resulting in violence toward her dog, her friend Chad, and herself. When the police arrived, Bryn could not respond to the police commands; she was only responding to the internal commands, the voices in her head that instructed her to keep going. The court later ruled the incident as involuntary manslaughter, recognizing that cannabis-induced psychosis caused this tragic event. This heartbreaking story serves as a stark reminder of the potential dangers of cannabis use; it proves that a single use of cannabis can come to such a horrific end. Every Brain Matters extends its heartfelt sympathy to the friends and family of Chad O’Melia and Bryn Spejcher. Had either Chad or Bryn known this could happen from only using THC, this tragedy could have been prevented. This story proves that we need more awareness about the harms of cannabis use.To schedule a presentation from Bryn and learn more about cannabis-induced psychosis, CIP contact us at info@everybrainmatters.orgVisit our website.Learn more about cannabis linked to violencehttps://everybrainmatters.org/thc-psychosis-and-violence/https://everybrainmatters.org/cannabis-science/marijuana-violence/Support the show@EveryBrainMatters

A father describes how he thought the legalization of marijuana was a good thing until he learned about concentrated THC products designed to attract young users like his son, who developed cannabis-induced psychosis. The expansion of marijuana and other drugs has overwhelmed our communities and become a regular part of our culture. This new age of industrialized THC allows predatory practices and well-funded campaigns to target vulnerable populations with minimal accountability. Our neighborhoods and schools are becoming unsafe. Families are under-educated and have minimal tools and resources to prevent, manage, or recover from the impacts of cannabis addiction, psychosis, toxicity, and other mental challenges that come from using these products. Our legislators consistently hear from drug advocates and lobbyists, and they do not hear enough from us.If you want to change this, we invite you to JOIN US.
