The mean total Substance Use Awareness and Insight Scale score was 4.8 (s.d.: 2.1), with subdomain scores of 3.7 (s.d.: 2.8) for general illness awareness, 6.2 (s.d.: 2.8) for symptom attribution, 3.5 (s.d.: 2.9) for awareness of need for treatment and 5.6 (s.d.: 3.8) for awareness of negative consequences. Fifty-eight per cent said that cannabis use made their mental health \u2018better\u2019, whereas only 15% said it made it \u2018worse\u2019; 27% reported that cannabis made their psychotic symptoms \u2018better\u2019, and 21% said it made them \u2018worse\u2019.
