We all have different brains.
I've met people who have had mental health break downs after smoking marijuana, but in my experience most of those people had the issue prior to smoking and it was just latent or had not fully affected the person yet.
4 of the people I know had found out they had schizophrenia, but only after smoking marijuana which just brought it to the surface.
In my opinion most of the people who have mental episodes caused by smoking marijuana had these mental issues before they ever smoked, smoking just triggers them.
Answer by EMT Randy
there are several factors that go into it. amount smoked, years smoked, even genetic makeup and psychological vulnerability make it hard to determine who develops issues and who doesnt. one thing i have noticed is that regular pot smokers tend to be more ambivilent and dont really care much about anything. this can cause problems later on. but that's just personal observation.

I think you have it a little backwards.
There are some people who smoke Cannabis BECAUSE they have a mental health problem and use it as self medication.
Since our bodies are all different, some of those people self medicating will feel better because of it, hence you see no mental health issues. Others, it will not work. And even for some, it will make everything worse.

It can be for many different reasons:
- Some people do smoke because of mental disorders and it helps ameliorate the issues.
- Others may develope mental disorders because they smoked too much too young, ths affecting the way thier brain has developed.
- There is a genetic predisposition in a bout 1/3rd of the population that disallows them from enjoying the effecs of cannabis and tends to elicit paranoia and other psychosis. temporarily.
- Others have had the condition prior to ingesting intoxicating substances (in this case cannabis) and the effects of the drug have just brought the condition to the surface earlier.
- Others because they have a mental condition that attracts them to the type of effects cannabis elicits, whether its use be benefitial or not.
People generally tend to know whether or not they can smoke cannabis and it not be deleterious for them. If they continue to smoke it after they notice negative symptoms, then this may indicate a deeper issue than 'incompatability' or one elicited byuse of the substance alone.
