Given the clear evidence to a genetic cause
for schizophrenia I cannot see how pot could cause it. I will agree that starting smoking pot
could be seen as a "trigger" for schizophrenia.
But I would say that the schizophrenia would of started sooner or later.However, amoung the folks I know, they report
that the start of drug use was a sign of the psychotic break that was to come. So drug use did not cuase or trigger it but was a sign that things were changing for the worse.Some folks with schizophrenia find pot to be of benefit.
