It may be. I haven't read the studies that report this with enough attention to determine if it was 100% well realized or not, but the review article I cited seemed very interesting and comprehensive, citing several papers with different conclusions. Most of them appear to agree that there is a correlation between psychotic alterations and marijuana, but more research is definitely needed to fully understand the mechanisms and possible causality.

Now, I don't know too much about this myself, but jumping to a collusion about the correlation is dangerous.

People who eat a lot of cheese are more prone to heart attacks, does that mean cheese causes it? No, overweight people just eat more of it, and because they're fat they have an increased risk of heart diseases.
