In this chapter, we will explore the nuanced topic of cannabis and recovery in schizophrenia. Addressing this demands knowledge of what cannabis is and a broader understanding of how it relates to schizophrenia. Therefore, we will first explore the composition of cannabis before considering its role in causality and relate this to the question of why it is used so prevalently in those suffering from this condition. From this platform, we will then review and compare recovery-based interventions. Ultimately, the conflicted nature of cannabis will be considered with attention paid to its potential role in the treatment of schizophrenia.
