All they can show is that people who have used cannabis are more likely to suffer psychosis or schizophrenia, but there's no evidence of causality at all.
It's likely that many people prone to these conditions self-medicate with cannabis, or something about the personalities of some people with mental illness makes them more likely to use drugs recreationally.
