California Psychiatrist Reprimanded for Recommending Vaping Marijuana to 14-Year-Old Boy

A California psychiatrist has been publicly reprimanded by a medical board for advising the parents of a 14-year-old boy to allow him to vape marijuana to alleviate tensions at home. The psychiatrist, based in Solana Beach, suggested that the teenager use the drug to reduce stress and improve his overall well-being. However, the medical board has deemed this recommendation unacceptable and has issued a formal reprimand. The board’s decision highlights the importance of responsible and age-appropriate medical advice, particularly when it comes to minors.
