Also, I read comments that smoking pot during late adolescence is 
particularly dangerous to those predisposed to schizophrenia because 
adolescence is the time of greatest brain cell growth. Wow, I was 
surpised again as this also skirts the facts as I have always known 
them. I thought MOST brain maturation was complete around the time of 
puberty. 18 would be a late puberty!

This is actually consistent with the latest research which indicates that the frontal lobe matures during adolescence rather than before, with proliferation and then pruning of neural pathways. I'm not familiar with research bout schizophrenia and pot in this connection.
