%X The article presents the results of research into the clinical and dynamic characteristics of psychosis following the use of synthetic cannabinoids (SC). The aim of the study is a clinical-dynamic analysis of 348 psychotic conditions following the use of synthetic cannabinoids involved 173 patients. The results of the study are: we describe the stages of psychosis development and psychosis delirious, delirious-oneiroid and amentia-like clinical variants; we demonstrated that the pathokinetic patterns of psychosis following SC use are determined by a complex of clinical, biological and socio-psychological factors; we found that the severity of clinical variants of the psychosis and consciousness disorders positively correlated with psychopathological conditions accompanied by more and more severe disorders of psychic activity (affective disorders 每 illusions and pareidolias 每 hallucinations 每 delusions 每 psychic automatism 每 ＆motor disorders) with simultaneous gradual depletion of psychosis psychopathologic picture resulting from the narrowing spectrum of psychopathological symptoms
