A study published in The Lancet found that daily use and high-potency cannabis are strong predictors of developing a psychotic disorder, such as schizophrenia. The study, conducted across 11 sites in Europe and Brazil, revealed that daily cannabis users had 3.2 times higher odds of psychotic disorder compared to never users, while users of high-potency cannabis had 1.6 times higher odds.
Daily cannabis use significantly increases the risk of psychotic disorders.
High-potency cannabis also elevates the risk of psychotic disorders.
Preventing the availability of high-potency cannabis could reduce first-episode psychosis cases, particularly in cities like London and Amsterdam.
Starting cannabis use by age 15 modestly increases the risk of psychotic disorder when combined with frequent use or high potency.
Legalization and decriminalization of cannabis may lead to increased use and associated harm.
High-potency cannabis contributes significantly to the incidence of psychotic disorders.
Early cannabis use, combined with frequency and potency, increases the risk of psychosis.
