Perhaps this is because schizophrenia symptoms present in late teens, early twenties- same as the peak use of cannabis.

Personally, I don't believe there is any correlation between schizophrenic symptoms worsening and smoking cannabis...

As much as I am embarassed to admit it, I have disorganized schizophrenia (memory is horrible, I can be very apathetic, unmotivated, I take long walks that lead to nowhere, ect. Think early Syd Barrett.) I have found that when I smoke, my memory is roughly the same, if not better, I sleep better, I am more motivated, and I actually have more emotion than if I'm sober.

This plant has done more for me than the numbing, mind-dulling medications they prescribe me (which I have discontinued). Although this helps, it's a lifelong progressive situation, and cannabis helps me make the best of it.
I completely agree. In 1 study it showed [in those particular results] that cannabis DOESNT cause any mental health issue, but in some cases can make it apparent, and becuase it hasnt been apparant before the weed, they blame the weed.

But no, i dont belive cannabis has any chemcial in it that can cause any mental health issue.
