The relationship between attitudes about cannabis and use has not been examined in youth at clinical high-risk (CHR) for psychosis.

Youth completed measures of self-reported cannabis use confirmed with a urinalysis, self-perceived risk and perceived peer attitudes. Parents reported attitudes about youth use. Legalization occurred halfway during a 5-year study in Colorado, providing an opportunity to cross-sectionally examine its role in use and attitudes.<h4>Results</h4>Frequency of youth reporting cannabis use was significantly higher in CHR (69%) than control group (30%). Use in CHR group was associated with higher perceived peer approval (r = .57), increased parental permissiveness (r = .28) and lower self-perceived risk (r = -.26). Comparing samples participating pre and post-legalization, use remained stable within each group. Group differences in parental permissiveness shifted; trend toward decrease in permissiveness in CHR group (η<sup>2</sup><sub>partial</sub>  = .07) and a significant increase in HCs (η<sup>2</sup><sub>partial</sub>  = .16) were observed. Post-legalization, use in CHR group correlated with higher perceived peer approval (r = .64), lower self-perceived risk (r = -.51) and higher parental permissiveness (r = .35, trend).<h4>Conclusions</h4>Taken together, results indicate a relationship between self and peer/parental attitudes about cannabis and use in youth at CHR for psychosis.
