Does marijuana cause schizophrenia?

[ihatemylife123]

mind altering substance alters your mind, yes?

I'm not sure but it's definitely bad and addictive. I have a friend who smokes, and she lives in a shitty ass trailer and drives an old beater, which she will drive till the wheels fall off. I drive a ram and live in a house in the mountains with a river and a forest on my property. But I don't spend my money on smoke or liquor. I guess it depends what you want to do with your life and money really

"In one recent study that followed nearly 2,000 teenagers as they became young adults, young people who smoked marijuana at least five times were twice as likely to have developed psychosis over the next 10 years as those who didn’t smoke pot."

I think that 20 years from now we will be finding all kinds of things that marijuana causes. Schizophrenia, autism, depression, Alzheimer's disease and maybe others.

Caffeine alters your mind too. That doesn't mean it causes mental illness.

[fireforeffect]

It has been proved to cause permanent changes in the brain.

[Agape93]

[joeldalton]

It can if you're prone to schizophrenia.
