There is a reasonable amount of literature on it, but I am far from a medical expert, so I really don't know. http://medicalmarijuana.procon.org/v...stionID=000220

Personal anecdotal evidence: Two people very close to me developed serious mental illnesses in their early twenties. Both were frequent (multiple times daily) smokers, and both now have mental health issues that will be lifelong ordeals.

Obviously factors like family medical history, etc. should be considered too.
I posted a recent study earlier in the thread that had some very convincing evidence. I also have had a close friend develop serious mental illness after smoking pot for most of his teen years. Within his immediate family, acute mental illness is not an issue.
