I read the article but it’s not clear on whether pot caused the crazy, or people with the crazy are trying to medicate it with the pot. Further studies will hopefully give a more clear picture.

I’d be curious to know if the number of people diagnosed with the crazy has increased as much as pot use has increased.

"while marijuana went from being a secret shared by a small community of hepcats and beatniks in the 1940s and '50s to a rite of passage for some 70% of youth by the turn of the century, rates of schizophrenia in the U.S. have remained flat, or possibly declined. For as long as it has been tracked, schizophrenia has been found to affect about 1% of the population." - http://content.time.com/time/health/article/0,8599,2005559,00.html
