Brutal

I’m quoting the articles you provided

You didn't quote any articles initially.

have you even read them?

You're rude and presumptuous.

Long story short the links you provided are proof that people with schizophrenia like cannabis, not that cannabis causes it.

That's your personal conclusion, not the conclusion of the paper that the CDC cites.

Cannabis use preceded psychosis in these studies:

• Arseneault L, Cannon M, Poulton R, Murray R, Caspi A, Moffitt TE. Cannabis use in adolescence and risk for adult psychosis: longitudinal prospective study. BMJ. 2002;325(7374):1212-1213.
• Zammit S, Allebeck P, Andreasson S, Lundberg I, Lewis G. Self reported cannabis use as a risk factor for schizophrenia in Swedish conscripts of 1969: historical cohort study. BMJ. 2002;325(7374):1199.
• Weiser M, Knobler HY, Noy S, Kaplan Z. Clinical characteristics of adolescents later hospitalized for schizophrenia. Am J Med Genet. 2002;114(8):949-955.

Also: "Controlling for familial risk in one large epidemiological study considerably attenuated but did not completely eliminate the association of cannabis use with schizophrenia, with odds ratios of 3.3 and 1.6 with 3-year and 7-year temporal delays, respectively." (Volkow ND, Swanson JM, Evins AE, et al. 2016)

The study in question:

• Giordano GN, Ohlsson H, Sundquist K, Sundquist J, Kendler KS. The association between cannabis abuse and subsequent schizophrenia: a Swedish national co-relative control study. Psychol Med. 2015;45(2):407-414.

You can't cherry-pick the sections of the article that benefit your personal opinions and simply ignore the rest. Its clear that you did not read these articles with objectivity in mind, and for that reason I will no longer respond to you. Best of luck, hopefully you can overcome your rudeness and lack of objectivity some day.

Going up a ladder and using a car fulfill a practical purpose, and there are numerous safety precautions you can take to minimize the potential risk of an injury. On the contrary, recreational cannabis is explicitly done for fun, and there isn't really a "risk-safe" way of developing schizophrenia due to substance abuse lmao

Do you think we should ban every activity that is as risky as consuming marijuana? If not, why not? Why marijuana and not everything else.

Your use of the word "risky" implies that there's a consequence-free way of doing cannabis. There is not. You will always suffer adverse health effects by doing marijuana.

And to answer your question, no. Because security precautions can be taken to do other fun activities safely. There are no sufficient precautions which would allow you to do marijuana 100% safely.
