The federal government’s giant database called HCUP, the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, tracks emergency room visits for psychotic symptoms. In 2006 there were about 30,000 emergency room patients with a primary diagnosis of psychosis and a secondary marijuana use disorder. Eight years later, that number had almost tripled, to nearly 90,000. Psychotic patients with a marijuana sub-diagnosis were about twice as likely to wind up hospitalized as those who didn’t have one. In how many of these patients overall was there a causal relationship between marijuana use and psychotic symptoms?
