I'm afraid you're the one "getting it wrong". The article is about a cannabis user developing a psychosis.

I'm sure you'd just love to twist this around and have us believe that this woman is a psychotic who decided to try marijuana.

Yes, by all means, think about the distinction. It's the whole point of the friggin' article!

Ah, the article, rather than the research. Very well. And you think we should take this woman's claims at face value? It's really about a cannabis user becoming a schizo, and not a hypochondriac looking for a scapegoat?

As opposed to the claim, unsupported by any medical or forensic authority of any merit, that any amount of marijuana consumption, unaided by medical tools, could cause psychosis? To get psychosis from marijuana, you have to step up the concentrations of a couple of the cannabanoids in it beyond any possibility of smoking yourself into psychosis. And, incidently, under the right circumstances, a doctor is allowed to put you at that risk using a little pill called marinol, which is exactly that recipe. Pretty amusing eh? If you are poor, black and stupid, you can go to jail for something which, if you are rich, white and connected, you can get from a doctor at 100 times the dosage.
