If you don't believe the source, why do you quote the 1st sentence?

But then again, why do you think you are making your case for pot by saying the mentally ill are more prone to use pot?

If this is so, it obviously doesn't help them and appears to trigger even more severe behavior in them and consequences to society.

And if this is so, it makes a good case for profiling pot users for serious mental disorders such as this Arizona shooting.

Apparently cause and effect is a concept you can't wrap your mind around.

Which is perfectly in line with what I've said so far isn't it?

Now you're off on a completely delusional track. You haven't established what percentage of pot users develop schizophrenia. If it's only four times as many as the general population (very dubious declaration) then it is still a very small percentage of the total. Only a lib would waste resources profiling a given group for a marginal possibility of helping an extreme minority of that group.
