TY - JOUR PY - 2020// TI - The changing legal landscape of cannabis use and its role in youth-onset psychosis JO - Child and adolescent psychiatric clinics of North America A1 - Wright, Abigail A1 - Cather, Corinne A1 - Gilman, Jodie A1 - Evins, Anne Eden SP - 145 EP - 156 VL - 29 IS - 1 N2 - The rapidly changing landscape of cannabis in terms of availability, potency, and routes of administration, as well as the decrease in risk perception and changing norms, have contributed to an increase in the popularity of cannabis. Cannabis use is associated with a poorer recovery from a psychotic disorder, increasing the risk of relapse, rehospitalization, and lower social functioning. Data are mixed regarding cannabis use as a component cause of psychosis in people at risk for psychotic disorder. Care providers, parents, and schools must educate youth and adolescents about the risks of cannabis use.
