Abstract in brief

  • Some research shows that using cannabis can lead to mental health issues like psychosis, but it's not clear if it changes how schizophrenia affects people.
  • The study looked at medical records of young men in Sweden to see how cannabis use in their teens affected their risk of getting schizophrenia later.
  • They found that those who used cannabis had their first symptoms of schizophrenia earlier and needed more hospital visits, but the type of symptoms was similar between those who used cannabis and those who didn't.
