      Hi @livmarshall
      I’m afraid I don’t know the answer to this question. About 1 in 200 people gets psychosis of some kind. It’s not known how many of these people (if any) get it because they smoke cannabis, but if they do, then I may be helping some proportion of these 1 in 200 people with psychosis.

      Sorry I can’t answer more accurately than that!

      Hi

      I really couldnt answer this accurately or even guess at it. I’ve worked on a lot of things including spinal cord injury and depression which affect a lot of people so theres the potential to help a large number of people if my work tells us something useful about these disorders.
