but once you have triggered schizophrenia in yourself treatment can only go so far, you will most likely suffer bouts of schizophrenia throughout the rest of your life.
Reclassifying it will hopefully prevent it getting to that point, it will prevent the people most likely to suffer schizophrenia at some time in their life from bringing it upon themselves earlier or even at all.

well, take cigarettes-- cigarettes cause lung cancer. so people who smoke have a choice to risk lung cancer for their pleasure.

theoretically, you could sell weed with warnings about the risk of schizophrenia. just like alcohol should have warnings about liver damage (but doesn't).

about your friend, i'm very sorry. but still, you can't tell millions of people what they can or can't do with their minds and bodies. we live in what try to be free, open societies, not in authoritarian dictatorships-- and that's a good thing.
