If you even read the article:

The use of cannabis is not thought to be a primary cause of schizophrenia, although there is strong evidence to suggest that the drug can trigger the onset of mental illness in some people with a prior disposition.
Second, the research is misleading, because it states
Quote:
Overall people were 4.5 times more likely to be schizophrenic at 26 if they were regular cannabis smokers at 15, compared to 1.65 times for those who did not report regular use until age 18.

Many researchers now believe that using the drug while the brain is still developing boosts levels of the chemical dopamine in the brain, which can directly lead to schizophrenia.
These are people who have done pot heavily at age 15 while their brains are still developing.

Pot is and always has been incredibly safe for regular recreational use. As with everything, you over use it and well, you'll have issues.

The right wing crazy people like you are what keep pot illegal. What benefit does this have? People with dime bags go to jail? People with cancer suffer more?
