"it is possible that early onset of psychological difficulties is connected to pot smoking due to people self medicating, as opposed to pot smoking causing the difficulties."

“Duck and cover! You went and stepped in it.”

I’m just saying what my learned friends who treat substance abuse are telling me.

You’ll also note that a large number of adults on various “psychological” drugs use a variety of illegal drugs too, which of course doesn’t help anything.

The whole subject of substance abuse, addiction, etc is a lot more complex than people who just are too stupid / weak / immoral to know when to stop, ya know? Anyone who’s known an addict pretty much knows that already.
