The first article you posted said the same thing:
'experts say the complexity of interaction between genes and environment, and the possibility that cannabis is, in fact, a way to self-medicate when psychotic symptoms arise are not accounted for in this study.
'"It is distinctly possible, in fact likely, that folks who experience initial symptoms turn to cannabis in an effort to control them, then end up having a psychotic break of some sort earlier simply because they had their first symptoms earlier," said Mitch Earleywine, an associate professor of psychology at the State University of New York at Albany, who is also a marijuana policy expert. "This predicament makes it look as if cannabis preceded the psychotic symptoms when, in fact...folks with worse symptoms who are more likely to have an early break might simply be more likely to turn to cannabis."
'Theories about an association between marijuana use and schizophrenia include several – sometimes interrelated - scenarios: The possibility that cannabis causes schizophrenia; that cannabis may cause people vulnerable to schizophrenia to develop symptoms; that cannabis may make schizophrenia symptoms worse; or that people with schizophrenia are more likely to use cannabis, according to the study.'
[[Example 3 As ice cream sales increase, the rate of drowning deaths increases sharply. Therefore, ice cream consumption causes drowning.
Another assinine example that has nothign to do with careful studies- and is badly worded to boot- IF a study had been conducted that showed a strogn relationshiop between eatign icecream (NOT just buying icecream) WHILE swimming, and higher susceptibility to drowning (Not ciecream CAUSING drowning) then the evidence is clear- eatign icecream while swimming caused a higher susceptibility to drowning so there was a strong relationshiop between the two actions and the end result
[[Since the 1950s, both the atmospheric CO2 level and obesity levels have increased sharply. Hence, atmospheric CO2 causes obesity.]]
Another assinine comparison as there was no study done to determien whetrher CO2 causes an icnrease in weight- only an assinine assumption that the two ‘might be connected’ with NO studty to determien anything
Which of these ‘scientific exampels shoudl I be using to compare to the study that was done? You’re using Wiki as your source of argument? Really? And you want me to ‘educate myself’ before we continue with hte discussion? Lol-
