Robinson’s family also launched a foundation in his honor. The Robinson Family Foundation supports families experiencing similar challenges. It also attempts to raise awareness for mental health and the potential link between marijuana use and psychosis. Robinson Day said the family believes early marijuana use played a role in Eli’s struggles. “He (Eli) was having delusions, he was hearing voices,” Robinson Day said. “There were multiple episodes that were in line with the symptoms of somebody that has schizophrenia. … What they’re finding in research is that if you use marijuana in a developing brain, which is considered up to the age of 25, you’re at a higher risk of developing psychosis later on.”
