I smoked marijuana once in my entire life. i'm 19 now. will i have brain damage or develop schizophrenia/other mental disorders?? no family history.

No: using marijuana only once will not cause lasting problems. The chronic use does lead to decreased IQ by about 10%, may potentiate some mental health issues, addiction issues and in male can decrease testosterone levels.
