Özet

In a non-clinical military enrolment setting, former cannabis users (N=81), compared to substance-naive controls (N=132), endorsed markedly elevated rates of schizotypy subscale scores on the Schizotypal Personality Questionnaire (SPQ). Total duration of exposure and proximity of cessation of cannabis use also had an important impact on the severity of psychosis-like symptoms. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
