However, under the circumstances, I would avoid these substances as they could trigger an episode. Especially considering there is already susceptibility (i.e. genetic predisposition). No need to add further risk factors..

Good mental health and habits would serve you best..
What I want to know is if weed triggers schizophrenia (meaning you would get it even if you did not smoke but it would just take more time) or if it causes schizophrenia.
