Preliminary report of biological basis of sensitivity to the effects of cannabis on psychosis: AKT1 and DAT1 genotype modulates the effects of δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol on midbrain and striatal function.

Cannabis use can induce acute psychotic symptoms1 and increase the long-term risk of schizophrenia,2 but there is a marked interindividual variability in the susceptibility to these effects. The latter is thought to have a genetic basis, but it is unclear which particular genes are responsible.
