How THC might cause psychosis
(Mechoulam, 1960’s)
Endocannabinoids act to modulate e.g. GABA and glutamate
Neurobiology: THC and dopamine
• In rodents – THC facilitates DA transmission in several brain
regions including PFC and striatum (Chen et al., 1990; Jentsch et al., 1997, 1998; Tanda et al., 1997)
• In humans– THC might increase DA release in striatum
(Voruganti et al., 2001, Bossong et al., 2008)

Baseline
Burst firing of DA neurones in the ventral tegmental area (VTA) signifies the appearance of novel or salient stimuli.
Abnormal or dysregulated bursting in dopaminergic neurones may lead to the attachment of aberrant salience to otherwise mundane percepts and concepts and a delusional-style of thinking.
“…In this way, an unexpected sound, the comments of a TV news reader or eye contact with a stranger are transformed from trivial everyday occurrences into highly salient events of great personal meaning to the psychotic individual”.
