Hi:
It could be the 'Stress,' rather blaming on lex and 'Pot,' which of course, has some influence/contribution on his behaviour. If you have NO experience on any of M.I.s, even a slight depression, you might NOT imagine how hard those M.I.s folks working hard to make a 'decent' and happy living-style. Not to mention, to keep the house payment on time, a good and loving marriage, and maintain everything 'organized.'
Then, after having been away from the home, your husband started to realize for the first time in his life, "what a good relief" he feels all by himself without thinking about any responsibilities attached to the family, even though he LOVES you and his kids more than anything else in the world.That being said, ... in my knowledge, 'pot' makes some of M.I.folks' condition get worse, altough in the begining of 'pot' experiment, it's such a good feelings, 'Euphoric,' or 'High'feelings, like 'I can do anything' type of the feelings. However, after its effect beginning to wear off, the next comes, ... 'terrible depression' that can not be helped by tradional psocyo. meds., because most of pdocs. are hesitant to offer any help to those. Then, it causes 'compound/double depression,' on top of an 'already' existing depresion. But, I can not be sure for this theory, because I NEVER experienced any of those 'street drugs,' ... just so to speak, learned from the 'hear and read stuff' things.
Besides this, your husband might have started to experience 'some Bipolar' symptoms after Lex. and Pot, ... but normally, it does NOT happen so quick, one day or so, ... that was in my case, tho', ... takes at least about a week or so after being on an SSRI.
In any case, ... if you SO much concern about his unstable and unforseen mind, then you could travel to Calif. to see and talk to him VERY lovingly.
Hope everything goes to a 'happy' ending!
H.G.
