well marijuana does affect the reuptake of serotonin which is responsible for a lot of sleep disorders and depression.

i found this:

The results in the Swedish sample became even more significant after a separate analysis of those cases with a positive family history of schizophrenia, in whom the five-marker haplotype A-C-A-T-T showed a P value of .00009 (3.1% in controls, 17.8% in cases; OR 6.75; P=.00153 after Bonferroni correction). Our results suggest that genetic variation in the dysbindin gene is particularly involved in the development of schizophrenia in cases with a familial loading of the disease. This would also explain the difficulty of replicating this association in consecutively ascertained case-control samples, which usually comprise only a small proportion of subjects with a family history of disease.

Schizophrenia is a chronic, severe, and disabling brain disorder that affects about 1.1 percent of the U.S. population age 18 and older in a given year.

yes... this marijuana is full of chemicals and is grown with artificial light... same poison theyll feed you at walmart.

now, marijuana grown with fresh fecal matter for fertilizer, hand-kneaded soil, serenaded at night with folk music... thats another story
