Wow, that's very interesting - do you have any theories that could account for it? Feeling psychic whilst manic is understandable, but riding you were actually correct much have been pretty creepy.

So it sounds like you have a family hairspray of susceptibility to cannabis induced schizophrenia? Wonder if that is linked to bipolar disorder?
Regarding psychics, are you aware of cold reading at all? It's the skeptical explanation of how psychics can appear so accurate whilst having no supernatural power. Not trying to knock you, but seems unusual for you to be reading into critical rationalism yet hold psychic powers in a different regard.

Interesting your brother has had mental health issues in the past too - is there any other family history? My layman understanding is that cannabis can awaken symptoms of psychosis if you have a predisposition to it, but won't cause it in someone who has no underlying problem. Happened with my sister in law, she's had psychotic schizophrenia for a number of years now, although her psychosis seems to have abated and is a lot better in the last year or so. And she smoked a lot as a teen.
Never been that aware of synthetic weed though, but I can imagine it's not going to be any better.
How is your brother doing now?
