One thing to keep in mind is that serious mental problems like psychosis and schizophrenia don’t generally manifest suddenly in adulthood. They are long-term conditions either linked to genetic predispositions or childhood traumas and developmental disorders (or both).

Yes, there are correlations between such disorders and recreational drug use, but the correlations are probably more due to the fact that people with those kinds of conditions tend to self-medicate, rather than the recreational drugs being the cause of their conditions. Those self-medicating can certainly exacerbate an existing condition, and there is a separate phenomenon of drug-induced psychosis, but that kind of psychosis isn’t quite the same as the permanent psychosis we associate with people on the antisocial personality spectrum.
