Quitting Cannabis May Be Associated With Fewer Relapses In Patients With Psychosis

MedPage Today (1/20, Lupkin) reports that research suggests that individuals “who continue to use cannabis after being diagnosed with psychosis may be more likely to relapse and have other adverse health outcomes than those who stop smoking pot.” Investigators found, “in a meta-analysis of observational data,” that “continued use of cannabis after onset of psychosis was associated with more relapses compared with both discontinued use…and never having used cannabis at all.”
