Yes, drugs come with risks. You know what else triggers latent psychosis? Alcohol. Prohibition is not the answer to this problem, education, harm reduction, the freedom to seek information and help without prosecution, is.

from the link I posted: "The risk for developing schizophrenia spectrum disorders is greatest with cannabis, although other substances such as amphetamines, hallucinogens, opioids, and sedatives also increase
risk"
I'm truly sorry about your brother. I lost a sister and it wrecked me.
But statistically, he got very, very unlucky. I quoted this in another post[1]:
βThe incidence rate of cannabis-induced psychosis increased steadily from 2.8 per 100,000 person years in 2006 to 6.1 per 100,000 person years in 2016.β
If people live to be an average of 80, that would affect about 1 in 200 people over a lifetime. Incidentally, the disease that took my sister has almost exactly the same incidence.
Again, I'm very sorry. Both our families were hit with very unlikely tragedies.
