A study in Denmark spanning 5 decades and including over 6 million people shows a significant link between schizophrenia and cannabis use disorder (CUD). For young males, 25-30% cases of schizophrenia could have been prevented in the absence of CUD. For all males, that number would be 15%. For females, that number drops to 4%. Clearly the risk, for the combination of the two problems, is greater in males.
Studies such as this are demonstrating that CUD can and does play a role, for some, in the development of schizophrenia. In recent years, there has been a growing number of studies highlighting this association.
