Young adults with psychosis: Intentions for cannabis reduction and cessation based on theory of planned behavior.

Published in: Psychiatric rehabilitation journal (2022)
In spite of life goals incompatible with cannabis use, cessation was not favored given the perceived benefits of cannabis and participants' lack of replacement strategies to facilitate social interactions, enjoyable activities, and euthymia. Interventions may be improved by addressing motivations for use and by teaching skills to build positive social support, schedule enjoyable activities, and ameliorate dysthymia.
