As a home care RN, I supervised care of a young woman who used these gummies to treat her frustration and pain with a chronic condition. Her family bought her a supply as she could not physically obtain them herself. One day I was urgently called to see her. She had been taken to the hospital in a severe state. She was admitted with a psychotic episode that was very distressing. She could not get herself back to reality and was stuck in a very dark and frightening mental state. She spent about three days hospitalized and continuously calling for me to help her out of her desperate confusion. She finally did come out of it, and as she was then in her thirties, her brain was able to reset and return to normal. This episode easily could have ended in her suicide. I’m grateful that she was old enough to recover. I believe if she had been ten years younger, it might not have been the case. This is not the drug it was “back in the day”. Her family had no idea how dangerous this drug had become.
