Changes in schizophrenia diagnoses associated with cannabis use disorder

Viewed 71
Recent studies indicate that while the overall incidence of schizophrenia remains stable post-cannabis legalization, there is a notable increase in cases of psychosis NOS (not otherwise specified). This suggests that increased cannabis use after legalization does not correlate with a rise in schizophrenia itself but may exacerbate pre-existing conditions. Various user comments reflect personal experiences and observations linking cannabis use with mental health challenges, particularly psychosis, while others argue that such experiences are subjective and influenced by individual psychology rather than the drug itself. There's a growing discussion around the genetics of cannabis sensitivity and its implications for mental health, with some users sharing stories of recovery and cognitive improvement after ceasing regular cannabis use. The debate continues over whether cannabis should be treated with caution, particularly for those with predispositions to mental health disorders.
