Brief description The link between psychosis and cannabis use has been discussed for decades. As the majority of users do not develop schizophrenia, it seems that other risk factors are necessary to trigger psychosis. Adolescence may be a time of particular vulnerability to the effects of cannabis use. We aim to use an animal model for schizophrenia to clarify cannabis' impact on the development of schizophrenia when interacting with the risk factors genetic vulnerability and age of onset of cannabis use.
