In other words, more Junk Science.
There just might be some truth to this story.
I wonder how much "Palmie" tax money was spent on this "study"?
What percentage of people that consume alcohol die from it?
What percentage of people that consume marijuana die from it?
What's the ratio of people that act out violently under the influence of alcohol?
What's the ratio of people that act out violently under the influence of marijuana?
Who should decide what a person puts or doesn't put into their body, the individual or the government?
Well, that's a quite a bit too strong a statement. The authors found correlation but, as scientists, they noted (correctly) that correlation does not mean causation. To establish causation would require a controlled experiment which, for this question, would not be possible. So the authors properly note that causation could be a chain of causation different than pot -> crazy. Causation could be, for example,
Defective Brain Wiring -> Pot Use and
Defective Brain Wiring -> Crazy.
That would make Pot and Crazy correlated but not causative. That's all the authors said.
So this is NOT junk science. It is scientists doing their job by noting the limitations of their study.
