In fact it's highly debated by psychiatrists and social workers. They argue that Marijuana consumption forces many to maintain some form of social links which, were it not for Marijuana, they very likely wouldn't (I'm specifically talking about schizophrenia cases here).

Ironically, that's only true when marijuana is illegal, hence a poor argument for legalization.

Legal substances may be easily purchased with minimal social interaction.

More info? That sounds fascinating.

Mini anecdote: met a very friendly schizophrenic guy in a coffeeshop who got really paranoid and uncomfortable after he smoked... and apparently he smoked all the time.
