The article does mention that they studied subjects who had their "first episode of psychosis". You could still argue a person predisposed to psychosis can become a cannabis user as self-treatment even before their first episode happens, but that would be a stretch unless explicitly proven true.

Childhood trauma is also a predictor of psychosis.

And cannabis is a pretty good tool to help alleviate the symptoms of (though not cure) trauma.
