Popis: Age disorientation has been described in a subtype of patients with schizophrenia. The current article reports on an incidental finding from our survey study on patterns of cannabis use pre-post legalization in patients with schizophrenia. For the purpose of the survey study, patients were asked to fill out a total of 41 survey questions. The same participants were contacted over the phone 8 weeks post-legalization. Responses to the survey questions were consistent pre- and post-legalization except for four items which required estimation of time/age. This incidental finding highlights the need for further exploration of this phenomenon by future studies.
