"The connection between marijuana and schizophrenia is both controversial and complicated. The raw association is strong:
"â Schizophrenics are twice as likely to smoke marijuana as non-schizophrenics. "â People who smoke marijuana are twice as likely to develop schizophrenia as those who do not smoke. "But is correlation causation?
"Increasingly experts seem to be saying: 'Yes.'”
In point of fact, No - correlation isn't causation. Mr. Frumm's "evidence" points to the fact that sick people self-medicate - especially when they can't access or don't want professional care.
Substitute "alcohol" for "marijuana" and I suspect it would be just as true.
This is an excellent example of facts - isolated and without context - proving nothing.
Out of my cold, dead vaporizer!
Reality is for those who can't handle drugs.
I've given up smoking dope until Hostess can come up with a zero-carb Twinkie.
I await the call to greatly increase tobacco regulation, because schizophrenics are also much heavier smokers than non-schizophrenices.
I'm a'waiting.
