There aren't good or bad drugs, there are just experiences and how people react to them.
I feel terrible for you and your bro, but schizophrenia is generally thought to be less of a result of smoking herb, and more of an catalyst. Your brother would have 'probably' become schizophrenic at some point, marijuana just brought it out 'potentially' sooner, but there are some that would argue it may have delayed the onset, thus actually giving your bro more good time before his breakdown.
Also everything you listed is fairly traumatic, and a lot of people could 'lose it' after just one of these events. Marijuana may have just been a coincidence and not the cause, directly or indirectly, of any of the problems. I would imagine there are more people in similar situation that didn't use marijuana than did.
Either way I am still sorry for your troubles.
