Prob isn't going to change your mind, but tobacco and alcohol both have higher chances of inducing some form of psychosis than cannabis.

CIP isn't very well studied yet, and is mostly symptomatic in patients that indulge in prolonged and heavy cannabis use at a young age. There hasn't been enough evidence collected to rule out correlative conditions like schizophrenia, which is known to be exacerbated by any psychoactive substance unlike cannabis.

There are of course people who shouldn't smoke cannabis on a regular basis, but for the most part, cannabis is a healthier choice for most healthy adults than alcohol, tobacco, and a large amount of prescription drugs.
