They studied those who already had signs of psychosis.....kind of like survival of the fittest

No it does not. And reality is as follows: No causal link between smoking and increased risk of psychosis has been identified.

Please stop saying that. The “science” says no such thing.

Correct - for tobacco and marijuana, it's just numerical correlations.

[Jim 0216:] Smoking tobacco doesn’t cause psychosis, but smoking marijuana does cause psychosis

The science says otherwise.

The “science” says no such thing.

Does the science say that smoking marijuana does cause psychosis?

Confusing.

Do they take up smoking because they tend to be psychotic or do they become psychotic because of the smoking?

Guess I touched a nerve. FWIW, I think there are only correlations and no proven causation between psychosis and smoking anything.

I don’t believe it either. I don’t smoke but at one time almost the entire country did. Plain stupid propaganda

Yes, but you see how ferociously smokers defend their addictions.

That is the unanswered question

IF they are psychotic and then take up smoking what does that say about the US adult population from the 1930s onward.

Bad methodology. They take a select group and try and normalize it. Never works well
