N2  - OBJECTIVES: The link between cannabis use and psychotic symptoms or disorders is well known. However, the relation between cannabis withdrawal and psychotic symptoms is less studied. <br><br>METHODS: To our knowledge, this is the first publication of an observational systematic report of cannabis-induced psychotic disorder with onset during withdrawal. Here, we review patients presenting to a major emergency room in Montreal between January 2020 and September 2023 in a context of psychotic symptoms following cannabis cessation. <br><br>RESULTS: 7 male and 1 female patients presented at the peak of cannabis withdrawal with acute psychotic symptoms, representing less than 1% of all emergency service admissions. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: We discuss current knowledge regarding the endocannabinoid system and dopamine homeostasis to formulate hypothesis regarding these observations.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
