在一份关于在印度一家药物成瘾诊所进行的观察的描述性报告中，在使用大麻制剂后观察到200名具有特征性、短暂性和急性药物精神病的患者。在这些患者中，45%以前没有精神病理学。大多数患者完全康复。在那些最严重的预先存在的病理，一些患者有一个不太有利的过程中，药物精神病在这组偶尔占主导地位的精神分裂症和偏执症状。大麻的效力和剂量安排，以及年轻的年龄，通常与中毒性精神病的发生有关。在16%的患者中，特别是在最不稳定的患者中，低效力药物产生了症状。吸毒目的、情绪稳定性与人口统计学变量之间存在一定的关系;对于情绪稳定者，“社交”是主要动机。与犯罪活动没有直接联系。
In a descriptive report of observations carried out in an Indian drug addiction clinic, 200 patients with a characteristic, transient, and acute drug psychosis were observed following the use of cannabis preparations. Of the patients, 45% had no previous psychopathology. Most patients fully recovered. Among those with the most severe preexisting pathology some patients had a less favorable course; drug psychoses in this group occasionally were dominated by schizophrenic and paranoid symptoms. Potency and dosage schedule of cannabis, as well as a younger age, were generally related to occurrence of a toxic psychosis. In 16%, and especially among the least stable patients, low potency drug produced symptoms. There were some relationships between purpose of drug consumption, emotional stability, and demographic variables; for the emotionally stable, "sociability" was a dominant motive. There was no direct association with criminal activity.
