Dunno if you have heard of it, but some schizophrenics might be actually using cannabis for self medication. It might sound weird, but cannabis also includes some antipsychotics(amount of them vary from strain to strain and effects what sort of high the strain gives) and schizophrenics might find some relief from some strains of cannabis.
Yep - what I've read is that while most people, schizo or not, get a mild positive mood from smoking up, schizophrenics but not schizophrenics also get a decrease in self-reported "negative mental symptoms", I don't remember how those were defined exactly though. The point being that they were more drawn to become (psychologically) addicted (and would therefore smoke more often) because it relieved the negative things they were experiencing, whereas non-schizophrenics don't get that added draw.
