Schizophrenia is a bucket diagnosis that a large number of mentally ill people are placed into because other diagnoses do not fit or do not fit completely. Once psychiatry doesn't know what's wrong with you, and your symptoms have a certain severity, you get diagnosed with schizophrenia.
This link between marijuana use and schizophrenia will be tenuous at best. Look deeper (into an article published on the well-respected academic journal that is CNN) (a intern probably wrote your article) and you'll find nothing but unscientific hogwash, irrelevant sample sizes, questionable procedure, and just about everything else you usually find that isn't helpful when the subject being discussed is repleat with cultural bias instead of fact.
In short, this is pseudoscientific poppycock written and published to sell you ads.
