It is common that people with a pre-existing condition (often unknown) find things like pot and others bring the per-existing condition out in a big way. Had they not tried an illicet drug
this condition would of made itself known. With scitzophneia most are normal till their 20's and then have a break with reality. many are trying illicet drugs at the same time at this age so people say that the drugs did it. To me the drugs just brought the problem out for all to see. Drug abuse to me is not a cause but a sign of a greater problem.j
