Most noteworthy for me is the fact that more Americans think that porn (52%) and homosexuality (39%) are wrong than spanking children (23%) and being ultra wealthy (18%).

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.

Studies have shown a direct link to weed induced schizo disorders and those with genetic markers susceptible for it. Getting a DNA test is not on most peoples priority list.

I'm not into scare mongering, either. The incidence of schizophrenia is very low.
