Question about marijuana and schizophrenia?


ive heard this claim many times before and am stiill unclear about it. i though that marijuana use can cause schizophrenia ONLY if the person has a family history of the disorder and is likely to get it, so in other words the marijuana just triggers an early onset of the disorder if the person is already prone to it. i thought it could also make symptoms worse. am i correct??
i would think that is marijuna truly caused you to get schizophrenia even if you DONT have the disorder run in your family then there would be ALOT of people with schizophrenia considering many people have either tried it or use to do it or actualy still do it and those people probably make up about 65% of the population. if you have any information regarding this please post it and post the link if you have one

I don't know I had a schizophrenic friend who smoked after he was diagnosed so he could feel normal!
Prolonged marijuana use promotes schizophrenia and paranoia whether you have those problems in your family or not.

Marijuana is no good.
Old Hippy seen plenty of folks go crazy from smoking too much pot.
Smoke it it's great!, no it is not it causes, Oh shut up , don't you tel me shut up.
Marijuana can trigger it, yes. But I've only heard studies of this when the person has previously had schizoid episodes, so they have already experienced shizophrenia episodes and then took the drug and it triggered more episodes. I have never heard, nor read or studied anything where marijuana CAUSES schizophrenia, so I dont believe that to be true.
I've studed Healthy psychology for the past yr!
Paranoia is very common with weed. But this feeling is not necessary. If you are feeling paranoid after smoking then you should either stop, because weed is supposed to be soothing, or think to yourself, "This is how it is - for now."

No anxiety is permanent, and when you're high you should be able to concentrate on how good and relaxed things are.
