Schizophrenia and marijuana?

[icemagic]

I guess we all wonder is the link between marijuana and schizophrenia real? Well i decided to compare rates of cannabis usage between country's versus the rates of schizophrenia among these country's. Take a look at these 2 tables.

If cannabis really did cause schizophrenia wouldn't there be higher rates of schizophrenia among country's with highest usage rate?

I don't believe it causes it either and I have known people in active states of psychosis that smoked cannabis (as well as abused other drugs such as speed and lsd).

 

I know many people that I have known since they were young teenagers that have all smoked heavily for many years and NONE of them suffers from psychosis.
