Cannabis use and psychosis symptoms in schizophrenia
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study looks at whether cannabis use affects psychotic symptoms and how you perceive reality, using a smartphone app to track your experiences in daily life. If you have schizophrenia and are stable, participating could help researchers understand how cannabis impacts your symptoms and lead to better support.
