Cannabis, Schizophrenia, and Reward: Self-Medication and Agonist Treatment?

Principal Investigator

Mary Brunette

Study Number

D14061

Summary

In this translational research proposal, based on our formulation, we seek to confirm and expand upon data obtained in our pilot study suggesting that cannabis and the cannabinoid agonist dronabinol, given in low dose to patients with schizophrenia and co-occurring cannabis use disorder, will in fact ameliorate the brain reward circuit dysregulation in these patients and, thereby, provide evidence in support of the role of cannabis as a 'self-medication' agent for them.
