Yep. Potentially a real concern. But this very preliminary study was widely criticized in peer review for two possible problems: self-selection bias, and the 'chicken and egg problem'. Does marijuana cause psychosis in juveniles, or do juveniles pre-disposed to psychosis choose to self-medicate with marijuana? Most of the researchers tend to believe that it is the latter. Further study in Europe will eventually settle the 'question', but at present there is VERY SCANT evidence to support the first proposition.
