Some recent studies also have shown that reg. Pot smokers have a higher rate of schizophrenia. I definitely believe that is a possibility based on some childhood acquaintances that were heavy into pot in there teens and 20’s and now are on Psychotropic Medications and have been in and out of institutions.

I would question whether this is cause or effect. People with tendencies to develop schizophrenia, depression, anorexia and a host of other behavior problems tend to self medicate.
