Summary
AI-generated from the abstractCannabis-associated psychosis is argued to be a distinct diagnostic category separate from schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. The paper first establishes an epistemological basis for recognizing this specific condition. It then reviews the clinical features that characterize psychoses linked to cannabis use. Finally, it examines the biological and genetic factors that may underlie cannabis-associated psychosis.

Abstract
This paper will summarise the main substrates of cannabis-associated psychoses. First, an epistemological framework will be introduced to support the existence of a specific ‘cannabisassociated psychosis’ as a nosological entity distinct from idiopathic schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders. Then, the main clinical characteristics of cannabis-associated psychoses will be examined. Finally, the biological and genetic correlates of cannabis-associated psychosis will be presented.
