Summary

This study will follow 120 people with schizophrenia who use cannabis, using mobile phone surveys and thinking tasks to track symptoms in real time. The goal is to understand how cannabis may both worsen positive symptoms (like hallucinations) and reduce negative symptoms (like lack of motivation). The findings could help shape better care for patients.

What this could mean

Active substance
cannabis
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could clarify how cannabis affects schizophrenia symptoms, potentially guiding better management strategies.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase observational study, not a treatment trial. Results may not lead to direct clinical changes, and cannabis use carries known risks for mental health.
