CORRECTION: "...why do you think you are making your case for pot by saying the mentally ill are more prone to use pot and consequently defend the use of pot?"

This means that both pot users and pot defenders* would have a much higher percentage of mentally illness among them than non pot users/defenders. Do you think that this makes the arguments of anonymous pot defenders more persuasive?
[* That users would not be defenders would be a nonsensical argument.]

Climate "science" largely rests on computer models dependent on questionable inputted assumptions. The pot-use/schizophrenia studies in the article I excerpted (and linked) are obviously correlations studies comparing known occurrences of both in controlled actual groups of a population. Correlations never prove OR disprove cause, but have still become the foundation of so much public opinion and public policy - for better or worse.

Bottom-line (because their are so many more urgent matters today):

- Guns are a Constitutional right while drugs/pot are only a habit.
- People need guns while people may want drugs/pot but they should not need them.

Since pot doesn't rank among any of my priorities, that's all I'll have to say.

You stumbled on one truth although I'm sure it was an accident.

Since pot the Constitution doesn't rank among any of my priorities, that's all I'll have to say.

Fixed it for you.
