What happens when legal marijuana leads to psychosis, addiction, and family collapse? In this powerful interview, I speak with Aubree Adams, founder of Every Brain Matters, whose son suffered from cannabis induced psychosis after using high-potency THC products like dabs. This is not “just weed” — it’s an industrialized drug that is hurting people, especially teens.

Aubree shares her family's harrowing story of watching her son become delusional, suicidal, and hospitalized — all linked to marijuana use. She exposes how the cannabis industry, medical system, and public policy continue to mislead families while ignoring the clear science linking THC to psychosis, addiction, and long-term brain damage.

We dive into misdiagnosis, lack of support, withdrawal, and the painful reality of parenting a teen through marijuana addiction. Whether you're a parent, a clinician, or someone questioning the safety of today's weed — you need to hear this.
