like any other issue, 10 doctors and scientists will have 10 different reasons for their different beliefs..i was really just trying to show that there really are no "tests" for any mental illness, and the proper interpretation of diagnosis..i just cant, in my mind, agree in anyway that marijuana induces schizophrenia..but, that is just me...

Remember that animals don't self-administer cannabis, but, you know, that humans will get addicted to nicotine. Also, marijuana smoke affects the lungs differently.

With the effects of Cannabis, coming from the cannabinoid receptors, dopamine isn't causing the mice to ingest cannabis.

Now, cannabis has been shown, somehow, that it doesn't cause psychosis, but, rather, pre-onset psychosis causes cannabis use.
