Can smoking marijuana lead to schizophrenia?

No, it can't actually be the cause of it.

The only thing that can happen is if you already had the gene (schizophrenia is hereditary), and you smoke very large amounts of marijuana, this can trigger the gene, causing it.

But you do lose a lot of brain cells and it causes other problems though...

The damage is on two levels.

One is physical- THC deposits in the brain tissues (and body fats) and rhe damage is mostly done to the memory (less ability to remember, learn and concentrate) in extreme cases this may be permanent

Second level is psychological. THC IS a psychotropic drug and some people will be more prone to its effects than others. While I know of no evidence that THC causes schizophrenia, it may affect the brain in such a way that what was mild and un-noticed becomes prominent and very noticeable. In any case not to be tried by anyone with a family history of ANY mental/ emotional problems

No, but if you're already prone to schizophrenia, it can exacerbate the symptoms.

I have read some studies on it and its possible. There are many side-effects. I would move on to a safer drug if I was you more like Crack

I am not sure, but it ca lead to another whole plethora of health problems.

Definately ,if you do it alot.

I seriously doubt it.

nope
