can weed acctualy cause scizophrenia?

Someone correct me if I am wrong but I think if you have a mental illness history in your family then yes it increases the chances however if you haven't then I don't think its likely.

I have a hard time believing this, I know it's bullshit. But maybe I'm being ignorant of this. Also i started to smoke weed since 16, and i heard that the illness develops at like 20 years of age, and i also read the left hand people are like 60% ljkely to get it, im left handed.
So do you personaly know anyone who got scizophrenia from weed? What do you think?

Honestly everyone is different so it's hard to say if this is true but I experienced a weed smker buddy of mine who went coo coo for coco puffs and he start acting Scizo. No lie! I and his family had to go visit 4rm some facility bcuz he was saying crazy things like "the voices in my head told me I had to kill my sister's baby and what not". So he stopped smking but thght bout it and never back to it. Doctors gave him medicine bull crap. I still think he was acting as some do want attention, who knows! Gd topic Spac!

hes probably already skitzo, just not yet diagnosed maybe.. we've all without a doubt seen people get all paranoid and anxious, so yeah i think someone that isnt "all together" can definitely have this happen. to the OP, im a lefty also haha, im fine.. i think been smokin for a pretttttty long time
