Only use cannabis from a known source, with trustworthy people, in a safe environment with a designated driver. #mycannabisiq

Abstaining from cannabis use is the least risky choice. Otherwise: Start low, go slow; Know your source & strain; Wait until age 25

One of the primary goals of psychosis treatment is to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life for those affected.

Know your THC to CBD ratio. Higher CBD may be protective for psychosis, but higher levels of THC increases the risk of psychosis.

Start with the facts about cannabis use! Know the drug, know your loved one, know the risks. The more you know what you’re talking about, the more naturally the conversation will flow. #mycannabisiq @help4psychosis

Some people recover quickly from an episode of #psychosis. Others need more time to respond to treatment, or are only able to return to their normal lives gradually.

Keep an eye on levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabidinol). Higher THC potency is linked with immediate and long-term negative effects on cognition and mental health.

How to talk to your loved one about #cannabis? Make it natural. Read over some existing toolkits to make yourself more comfortable with starting the conversation. Make sure you choose the method(s) that feels most natural. #mycannabisIQ

When treating psychosis, each person experiencing it will define recovery in their own way. Deciding if someone has recovered is up to the individual, their care provider, and their family members.
