My 16yr old bf has minor schizophrenia and consumes marijuana.im wondering if he may ever physically hurt me because of this condition?is it possible?

Potentially: Marijuana can cause schizophrenia in young adults to have an earlier onset, triggering it at an earlier age. He should stop marijuana use as soon as possible, if possible, so as not to trigger it in a more severe form. Schizophrenics can be unpredictable, though he probably wouldn't hurt you, delusional thoughts and hallucinations can lead people to actions they wouldn't do normally. Even hurt him
