It exacerbates schizophrenia. It does not cause it.

I've known hundreds of people that smoke weed and not one is a schizophrenic. On the other hand I've got a cousin who is schizophrenic and he doesn't smoke weed but he drinks to excess, to the point that it's a detriment to him.

wow you are stuipid. one study from last year claimed that, then you spout it as truth. lots of studies have shown that marijuana CAUSES schizophrenia funny how you "pot is not bad for you" morons ignore hundreds of studies that are far more strongly powered than a couple of "marijuana isn't bad" studies that are not well powered at all. the bulk of evidence based medicine shows that marijuana: 1. causes schizophrenia 2. leads to depression 3. leads to addiction 4. CAUSES CANCER but keep focusing only on the few studies that say what you already believe

List the known bad effects of excessive alcohol consumption and compare the two. By that standard you should be the first one begging for a return to prohibition. Alcohol abuse is much worse medically than pot but I bet you don't preach against that now do ya?
