There is a connection between schizophrenia (triggering psychosis) and marijuana usage. If one is prone, read up!

The research shows that the psychosis is triggered in developing brains. That means that it happens to people less than 25 years of age. There is also other brain damage that occurs in users whose brains are not fully developed.

Corelation is not causation, or are you new here?

When there is a mechanism by which A causes B, then correlation is one way to measure the effects of a cause. With the case of marijuana use, there is a mechanism. Using marijuana kills off specific brain cells, and the resulting brain damage triggers psychosis.

Cigarette smokers are 300-400% more likely to be schizophrenic than average nonsmokers.

Do you have a link to the medical literature that substantiates this claim?

Do you have any links you can give me regarding the above? And maybe more importantly, can this brain damage be detected on an MRI? Thank you!

You wouldn't be the first ex-dem-mom to argue against the immutable laws of logic...

What's the evidence for these two claims?
