Are you serious? You picked that up from a tiny little study that had only 15 long term users:
PARTICIPANTS: Fifteen carefully selected long-term (>10 years) and heavy (>5 joints daily) cannabis-using men (mean age, 39.8 years; mean duration of regular use, 19.7 years) with no history of polydrug abuse or neurologic/mental disorder and 16 matched nonusing control subjects (mean age, 36.4 years).

So what does carefully selected mean? Perhaps it means they were crazy to begin with but had never been diagnoses as such (and the money they were paid for the study was their only sourc of income).
You cant draw conclusions about a drug that has been used for thousands of years from some tiny little study of 15 users. Add to this... I dont know ANYONE who smokes 5 joints a day.... but I'm sure there are plenty out there.
