I am unaware of any cases where long-term moderate marijuana use causes one to "lose one's mind". However, "lose one's mind" is a pretty vague term. I do know that for people with pre-existing psychiatric problems (depression, schizophrenia, etc) smoking marijuana is not recommended.

If you think your husband is "losing his mind" or undergoing severe personality changes he needs to be evaluated by a psychiatrist and perhaps a physician.

Hello,

It is normal for marajuana to cause such affects. I would say you two should go to support group specifically for marajuana users. It would probably help you two out allot.

And also go to the doctors again and have a good talk about his mind problems etc, and they could reccomened somewhere to go, or someone to talk to.

It's worth a shot.

Thanks
