Sorry, Rodney, but this is not misinformation. This has been known for a very long time, but the pot-smoking press did not want to let you know. If you are a pot smoker, the good news is your brain is damaged in such a way that you will think you are just fine. :-) I am not saying that pot doesn't cause schizophrenia. I am also not saying that schizophrenics are more likely to smoke pot. Either or a mixture of both might be true. I am just saying that correlation does not prove causation, as this article seems to claim.

I am just saying that correlation does not prove causation, as this article seems to claim. Exactly! Also, this version of the story left out a highly relevant fact: "Others, however, point to the fact that rates of schizophrenia have not risen dramatically in the past 50 years to correspond with increasing use of the drug."
