He hallucinates and imagines himself a princess with some kind of multicolored coat, I have to say though, his delusions are quite beautiful to hear him tell them. He gets manic but not violent at all- I think he may be more dangerous when he's normal. He also told me pot triggered his delusions in his late teens, although he was always depressed. See, the pot helps his depression but aggravates his psycosis.
