CIHR PsyVenture Trial (Conrod, Potvin and Bourque, 2017-2018, CIHR-Institute of Population and Public Health (CIHR-IPPH), Catalyst Grant: Population Health Intervention Research on the Legalization and Regulation of Non-Medical Cannabis in Canada

Specific Aims: A major public health concern associated with cannabis use and it’s legalisation is the causal role of heavy and early onset cannabis use in risk for Psychotic Disorders. This project aims to develop a targeted prevention strategy for a significant portion of the population (approximately 8-10%) who are at elevated risk of experiencing psychotic symptoms and disorders as a result of their cannabis use. We propose to apply our recent quantitative and qualitative findings on neurocognitive and motivational correlates of persistent psychotic-like experiences trajectories (PPLE) to develop new, targeted, preventative interventions for adolescents who report this psychological risk profile with the aim of preventing heavy cannabis use and cannabis-induced psychosis. The project has three aims:

• Aim 1. Using the approach that we have used in the past to develop and adapt personality-targeted interventions to new cultural contexts, we aim to adapt the Preventure Programme to include a fifth target personality risk profile – PPLE. This work will include producing a new manual focusing on persistent PLE and the cognitive and motivational processes that trigger more severe psychotic-like thinking or cannabis use in at-risk youth.

• Aim 2. Pilot this new intervention program with 30 at-risk youth reporting persistent PLE and cannabis use in a pre-post test design.

• Aim 3. Conduct focus groups with at-risk youth, clinical experts and decision makers to help develop a feasible implementation strategy for this targeted intervention in order to assure rapid uptake and sustainability of the program should it be shown to be effective in the current pilot and future randomized controlled studies.

They just keep dreaming up ways to spur the economy with cannabis somehow

more like they keep dreaming up ways to label mj users as unbalanced and that mj
is the cause....rather than say a predisposition towards..."more severe psychotic-like thinking "

These pieces of shit who think up this nonsense are the "psychotic" ones. My personal rule is if I did not take the test then the results are meaningless bullshit, just like the medicine they pass out.

There are substances known to cause serious psychotic breaks in people. Mefloquine comes to mind. If cannabis caused psychotic beaks in otherwise health people we would have recognized the pattern. After all we've been consuming cannabis for 70,000 years or so give or take.

sadly the decisions being made are not from right thinking individuals..
