Hey Link, I think the primary concern over marijuana and schizophrenia is the abuse of marijuana by young teens increasing the chance of developing the illness. I don't think we can deny the fact that marijuana abuse or any drug abuse during early adolescence may carry the risk of damaging the brain and disrupting it's development in a way that increases the chance of developing any type of mental illness. A developing brain is especially susceptible to the effect of mind altering substances.
