^ very true about sample bias. If you are looking at people who present to hospital for psychosis or schizophrenia (which I am presuming they got their sample from - haven't actually read the original article), then you are just surveying one subset of cannibas users. Most people will never have a mental condition bad enough to warrent coming into contact with hospitals.
However, a small percentage will, and a percentage of these will be heavy cannibas users.
out of dozens of people I know who smoke weed heavily, I would say one developed a bad psychotic episode, or schizophrenia that was short lived and went into remission. As I said in previous posts its difficult to say if he would of developed it without smoking weed heavily everyday.
like I've said before most people can smoke all day every day and never develop schizophrenia. but people with strong risk factors such as a parent or sibling with schizophrenia should probably abstain or keep their use to occassionally.
