Abstract
The results indicate that frequent cannabis exposure may down-regulate anandamide signaling in the CNS of schizophrenic patients, but not of healthy individuals. Thus, our findings suggest that alterations in endocannabinoid signaling might be an important component of the mechanism through which cannabis impacts mental health.
