The changing legal landscape surrounding cannabis is likely a contributing factor to the increasing rates of cannabis use worldwide. Accordingly, consequences of cannabis use translate into sizeable public health implications. While the medicinal purposes of cannabis are often sensationalized, information regarding its harmful effects is largely confined to the scientific community. Therefore, educational campaigns informing the public about the links between cannabinoids and psychosis are urgently needed.
