I'm not so sure that any careful scientists are saying marijuana (or anything else) without any doubt "causes" schizophrenia, but there is an awful lot of association between pot and psychosis and schizophrenia. But I understand that one would also need to be genetically predisposed to such conditions, or perhaps go absolutely nuts and over the top with the pot.As far as schizophrenia goes, I don't know if anyone can say it *causes* schizohprenia. That is a very tall acusation. There are some large studies that suggest an association, and some very large studies that suggest no association.
