Private Clinic, Cannabis Prescription and a Brother’s Suicide — What Went Wrong?
Permalink   
 


Hello everyone.

 

Has anyone else read about a case where a man developed a severe dependency after a single online consultation with a private cannabis clinic, leading to long‑term addiction and, tragically, his suicide?

The family argues that the concentrated cannabis prescriptions and lack of proper monitoring played a major role in his decline and want stricter regulation of these services.

Given how mental health and substance use can interact, what do people think about the responsibilities of private clinics in prescribing high‑potency cannabis and preventing harm?

This is a heartbreaking situation, and it really highlights the risks of prescribing high‑potency cannabis without thorough assessment and follow-up. Private clinics, including Curaleaf Clinic, have a responsibility to ensure patients are properly evaluated for underlying mental health conditions, substance use vulnerabilities, and the potential for dependency. Regular monitoring, clear guidance on dosing, and mental health support should be mandatory, not optional. While cannabis can help some patients, cases like this show that inadequate oversight can have tragic consequences. Stronger regulation, transparency, and mandatory safety protocols for online or private prescribing could help prevent similar tragedies in the future.
