Question by .: 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
