There are actually some valid studies that have found a link between MJ and schizophrenia, IIRC that smoking weed can act as a trigger for latent schizophrenic tendencies, i.e. it can basically open the floodgates of that condition. Especially high THC strains, though I agree the mainstream media hasn't yet caught on to the differences of THC & CBD - it'll happen though as things are legalized.
I'm pro-MJ and think when used responsibly it can be a nice little recreational substance, plus maybe even help some people with chronic pain/nausea/etc with *fewer* side effects than the regular pharmaceuticals normally used for those conditions. But the hardcore pro-MJ activists guys who say it can save the world and that it's perfectly 100% absolutely harmless are just as off-base as the OP here. The truth is complicated and full of nuance & gray areas, something that most of society has trouble with.
