Studies absolutely don't show it to be common. Here's a meta analysis [0] of many that, as I mentioned, shows it below 1% of the population. That's rare. Don't confuse it being easy to find with it being common. Whenever you have a large number of people, you're going to reliably find rare traits and conditions.

- goldenkey 4y agoThe majority of cannabis legalization has occurred in the last few years. The paper you linked uses decades old data and provides statistics on overall incidence of schizophrenia with varying durations of prevalence. Bayes rule applies here - not everyone will go buy cannabis and use it daily. Unless a study is accounting for these factors, it's useless in making a determination on the connection between psychosis and cannabis. Your own point applies, frequency must be adjusted for, by an understanding of priors.
