Has soda ever given anyone schizophrenia (or "uncovered" "latent" schizophrenia in people)? Or has anyone ever caused a car crash from drinking soda prior to driving? Marijuana is way, way more harmful than soda.
My very low effort researching of fairly low neurotoxicity psychoactive substances like marijuana/LSD/mushrooms is that they're associated with eliciting schizophrenia in those already predisposed? Personally I don't know anyone without a history of family illness that exhibited irreversible mental illness after consuming marijuana. Is it pretty rare?

I would say almost certainly yes. For reason of above caffeine induced psychosis. Admittedly it would take a LOT. But some people drink a metric shit-ton of energy soda.
[EDIT] Or years of health-span, so we make sure we cover severe mental illness being triggered by it. I bet it comes out looking even better by that measure, actually.
If someone close to you had to deal with schizophrenia then I am sorry. It does not however make sugar any less of a danger.
While driving, probably yes. In general, no. Soda causes way more health problems.
