[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 590022, member: 14557"] MWM: My son doesn't have d/d per se. He does have PTSD. It's common for PTSD patients to have dissociative symptoms. His PTSD didn't come from pot use or drinking. Some drugs, especially LSD, but also pot, can indeed cause d/d symptoms. So can for example epilepsy. PTSD is also a common cause. With my kid cause is quite clear and it is not epilepsy or LSD. I don't know what his psychiatrist has advised him about alcohol, probably to be careful with it, because how common alcohol abuse is with PTSD patients. But these are his choices and from what I see, I don't really see a reason to worry much at least now. I also do know that it is extremely unlikely he would risk his dreams just to have a joint. He does know that getting caught from pot is very possible and he knows what that would cost him. I don't need to waste my breath to talk about pot to him. If he decides to use it, he knows he is putting his job, lifestyle and dreams to extreme danger (getting caught would very possibly mean never playing pro again.) Whatever I may say doesn't make a dent in that equation. [/QUOTE]
