~18-25 IIRC is the normal age for prodromal schizophrenia to occur(the early phase where symptoms begin to manifest) so that makes sense. If you don't get it by that age it's extremely unlikely to start experiencing symptoms at an older age, there are younger children with schizophrenia but it's still much less common than people first noticing it around their early 20s.

And in your first sentence, do you mean you get psychosis or hallucinations from smoking pot? Or literal schizophrenia? Interestingly, around 19-22 years old when I smoked a lot, I had some psychosis-like symptoms, mostly auditory hallucinations. They weren't very disruptive or paranoid-feeling though, it was always the sound of a group of people at a party or backyard barbecue or something standing around laughing & talking, and I could only actually make out like 1/5 words. It felt very real though, I looked out my window countless times to see if my neighbors were having a 2am party in their back yard.

Did you have these when you were high, not high, or both? How old are you now and what has become of them?
