New here so not sure exactly where to post this, I apologise for any mistakes of any kind I make during this, please point out anything I do/say wrong so I can correct it in the future
Background information:
A friend of mine is male, 17 years old, weighs 9 stone 4lbs (60kgs) and I would say is a probably a little underweight. They do not want to do any of the stronger class drugs e.g meth/heroin. They have had severe feelings of depression and extremely strong feelings of dissociation, additionally they struggle with identifying their true personality and have issues with emotions (they either have a complete absence of them, or far too many of them at once), additionally they often struggle with severe mood swings from erratic feelings to deep depression and anywhere/everywhere in between. This has been going on for an extended period of time (1/2 years) with the symptoms getting progressively worse, however there are short periods of time were the depression is not particularly bad. They have recently gotten help for this and are not yet on antidepressants however it is very likely they could request them and be prescribed. The doctor, counsellor and CAMHS service have been useless in any forms of diagnosis/help so far however My friend appreciates that they are trying even though he says it doesn't often feel like much is being done. During the past few months my friend has noticed that they have been hearing occasional voices and very very infrequent blackouts (short periods of time) in which he has moved objects. The only preexisting use of drugs is cannabis and alcohol. My friend used to use cannabis in fairly high dosages and had no problems with nausea or tolerance levels. After going on a break for about 8 months they tried smoking up again, and found even very small amounts (.5g) would induce nausea, and as little as 1.5g would induce extreme nausea and very unpleasant effects to the point at which they were barely able to fucntion. Throughout all use cannabis was always smoked with tobacco. He has no problems with alcohol. His friends have recently started doing other drugs such as LSD and MDMA and my friend wants to try something new as he is struggling with various things in his life. He is fully aware of the risk of addiction, however would welcome any other potential side effects of drugs being mentioned.
Questions they would specifically like answered:
Is it safe for him to do any other kinds of drugs/narcotics given the background information?
If yes to the above, what would be recommended as a first time and at what dosage (if possible please may you mention what to expect from the stated drug)?
What might cause these negative effects from cannabis, is he just having too high a grade/dosage despite the seemingly small quantity?
Are there any recommendations at how my friend could not feel such bad effects from cannabis?
He is unsure if this question is relevant to this forum site however he was wondering if anyone had experienced any similar symptoms and if they had any idea what they might be signs of?
Thank you in advance, my friend appreciates any feedback/help given.
