Abstract Synopsis

  • - Results showed that in 2001-2002, cannabis use was associated with a higher prevalence of psychotic disorders, but no link was found for frequent or daily use; by 2012-2013, frequent and daily cannabis use were significantly associated with higher rates of psychotic disorders.
  • - Participants with cannabis use disorder consistently showed increased psychotic disorder prevalence in both surveys, with no change in the strength of this association over time.
