Edit: This is a general statement I am making here, I just want to be clear. I have no idea what happened in this case, nor am I implying that drugs had anything to do with this. It's just an awful situation, condolences to the Fay family. I'm sure this is last thing they wanted to happen.
From WebMD:

Cannabis may cause schizophrenia symptoms to start earlier in life, too. Typically, men show signs of the disorder in their late teens to early 20s, and women in their late 20s to early 30s. Using marijuana may make symptoms show up as much as 3 years earlier.
