It's like a spectrum of susceptibility and including marijuana in the brain during the early adult years has been shown to increase the likelihood of the hallucinations and delusions occurring when they otherwise would have remained dormant and never been triggered. This is one of the serious concerns with marijuana; that and the concern with adolescents using it. It poses harm before people are 21 because during that time the brain is behaving in a neuroplastic manner in which the physical shape of the brain is still taking form and introducing marijuana can inhibit or affect the way in which it is forming.
