    "Genes that increase the risk of a person developing schizophrenia may also increase the chance they will use cannabis, researchers said on Tuesday after studying more than 1,000 users of the drug."

    "Cannabis use has frequently been associated with it, but there is much debate about whether this is because of a direct cause, or whether there may be shared genes which predispose people to both cannabis use and schizophrenia."

    How does this way what you say it says?

    "Genes that increase the risk of a person developing schizophrenia may also increase the chance they will use cannabis, researchers said on Tuesday after studying more than 1,000 users of the drug." In no way implies causation.

    "but suggest the association may be due to common genes and might not be a causal relationship where cannabis use leads to increased schizophrenia risk."

    "We know that cannabis increases the risk of schizophrenia" This statement is not supported by the study, just kinda thrown in there.
