I saw it first hand. Friend lost his wife and house to weed. Two other people in our circles had weed psychosis. Thankfully early intervention helped them recover. But we also know one person that went into it never recovered. And became a danger to those around him. Now he's in jail.
It happens with alcohol too, but not the everlasting schizo issues
Eh, I'd bet alcohol is more on the everlasting schizophrenia risk side. But weed really does fuck up your thinking.
Like every occasional sixth month or year in a conducive environment, yes, it may enhance thinking outside the box for an insight or few. Daily would be like a milder version of dropping hallucinogens.
