I had a wonderful Community College Prof back in the day, Tech Report Writing or some English course related that had a son possibly susceptible to schizophrenia and his reefer use did him in & he was dealing with resilience and seemed ok that his son was essentially disabled because of it. Perhaps he was trying to subtlety tell us don't do it kids....
I got to see the street urchan types in Colorado Springs hanging in the intersections about 5 yrs ago looking for handouts to hear they would take a "bud" in lieu of money. This will not end well for our culture....

THC is a strong dopamine agonist, most anti-psychotic drugs work by being dopamine ANTagonists.
Enough THC will push a borderline person over their border. Enough THC will cause any person to hallucinate. It is just a matter of how much is enough for any given person.
THC is strongly contra-indicated for psychotics/schizophrenics, or those who are borderline.
I've always wondered if pot could have some such effect. My best friend's brother was a Vietnam vet, smoked lots of pot over there as well as after he got out of the service.
He went on to graduate from the University of Michigan. At about the age of 31 he began a downward slide into full blown schizophrenia, losing his wife, his home, his business, his friends.....living alone on a beach in northern Michigan, eventual hospitalization at the state mental hospital.........It was a horror story.
