Cannabis as a precursor of psychosis and its relationship with schizophrenia

Salud Ciencia y Tecnología February 19, 2023 Roberto Carlos Mora Vera, Rosa Elizabeth Solorzano Bernita, Jorge Andrés Lozano Aveiga et al. 2 citations

Cannabis consumption is a modifiable risk factor for psychosis in vulnerable individuals, particularly those who start using before age 15 and continue frequently. However, cannabis consumers overall are not more prone to develop psychosis than non-consumers. The review concludes that cannabis acts as a componential cause for psychotic events within the schizophrenia spectrum.
