I just read the article properly....

I had to get him sectioned which absolutely broke the family up. My father and mother had very old-fashioned ideas about mental illness - you didn't speak about it - and they practically disowned him.

I'm sure that helped a lot

They put him on medication because they believed he was schizophrenic - he was hearing voices, saw messages in the paper and was having delusions of grandeur.

mmmkay

My parents moved to Wales, and he moved with them. For about four years he was fine. But when my father died he became depressed and that tipped him over.

So he was depressed because of the cannabis then? Hmmmm

My brother believed he had written the Boney M song Brown Girl in the Ring, things like that.

I've never been that stoned, but seriously that's not got a lot to do with weed FFS

I believe the last time anyone saw him was around High Wycombe in 1996 and he was basically living the life of a down-and-out.

So for 10 years you haven't got a fucking clue what he's doing?

I believe his problems were brought on by the smoking. He had to have 28 days off it while in hospital and he improved. He seemed in better shape to me.

I will let a doctor decide that.

The family tried to get hold of him after my mother died a few years ago and we couldn't find him. I went to a medium, and she said he had gone.

So you don't know where he is, if he's alive, what happened in the last 10 years etc. Your family disowned one of their own because they are too ignorant of Mental Health issues.

But of course, it was the weed that did it....
