Hello.. I think first there is need to stop patient 's cannabis abuse. once patient is off cannabis.. it would be easier to manage him.. his treatment history need to be studied.. if he had been given trial of 2 antipsychotics one of them must be olanzapine,then we can consider clozapine ..

They may develop:
1. Restlessness.
2. Irritability causes sudden out breaks of anger.
3. depression feeling.
4. Sleeping disorders.

If have belief in HOMEOPATHY you can manage the withdrawal symptoms of cannabis. Here i am suggesting some homeopathic management,
NUX VOMICA 200C is the best remedy. If you are interested I can give some suggestions about complete relief from withdrawal symptoms of cannabis.

Cannabis abuse and Schizophrenia do have a bidirectional association and often it becomes difficult to manage such patients. Give a trial of Trifluoperazine. It is seen to be effective in such cases.
