I think the science paper I read was 7x higher rate on weed, ifyour had a certain gene. I will have to find it
That’s still not statistically significant, and correlation does not imply causation. It serves as a caution, and I’m inclined to agree it’s not wise to risk it, but let’s be honest with ourselves and others.
Well correlation studiear say 37% risk, but I recognize that correlation is not causation, however they have found the mechanism that causes the increased psychosis with genes.

AKT1 gene polymorphism rs2494732 as the main genetic factor
C allele homozygosity significantly increases psychosis risk in cannabis users.
Mechanism: Cannabis consumption slows AKT1 functionality, releasing greater dopamine in the striatum through indirect mechanisms.
COMT and DAT1 gene interactions compound the risk
CB-1 receptor activation leading to increased dopamine release and GABA inhibition
