Summary
The overall purpose of this study is to determine whether a family history of psychosis is
associated with an altered cannabinoid system. This will be tested by studying individuals
with and without a family history of psychosis and comparing their responses to delta
9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), a probe of the cannabinoid system. We hypothesize, that
compared to controls with no family history of psychoses, individuals with a family history
of psychoses will have an altered response to THC.
