> well here is my story... I was hospitalized a year ago because I was psychotic and since then been on antipsychotics, I was using pot during that month that I was psychotic but if I remember correctly I didnt smoke the day I became psychotic.

There are studies that refute these contentions, though.

If it turns out that your psychosis was NOT induced by cannabis, would you return to using it?
