The article presents a 2023 case study of a jailed 25-year-old Black veteran with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and mental health struggles, and who was a cannabis user for self-medication. Topics discussed include the question of whether his psychosis is due to cannabis use or did it worsen a preexisting psychopathology, and the rapid change of state laws and public perceptions on cannabis. Also noted is a psychiatric evaluation's likely beneficial effect on the man compared with incarceration.
