It is possible that schizophrenics and similar disorders naturally gravitate to cannabis to lessen their symptoms.

  if the schizophrenia is latent prior to consumption, then by definition there can't be no effect. OTOH, if the choice to use drugs is induced or fueled by a mental disorder, that doesn't count in its favour in my book.

    How empathetic of you. So any substance which eases crushing symptoms of a mental disorder is a crutch to you? Glad you're Ok.

      No, it means that an apparent perception of easing symptons might just as well be another symptom. I don't think the claim you defended is verified, and OTOH cannabis use is linked to activating (or what's the word) latent schizophrenia, so it seems unreasonable to expect it could aliviate the condition. A crutch? Wouldn't that be rather positive? edit: mobile typos
