Is this a coincidence?

Based on the people that I know have smoked it, they are very moody,

I don't smoke pot but did many many years ago in my youth. I am not a fan and tend to think its not a good idea.
But I feel like the op-ed makes more of a case that mentally ill people smoke pot rather than pot causes mental illness.

If 99% of schizophrenics smoke pot it doesn't say much if only 0.01% of pot smokers are schizophrenic. The old correlation vs causation dilemma.

Every time these types of debates crop up, I always go back to the basic premise that inhaling chemicals that the human body is not designed to inhale is going to have consequences. Simple as that, really.

True. I never smoked anything but a few resistors by accident.

Certainly nobody could claim that it’s “safe” though some try. Vaping is like that... it’s not a safe alternative to cigarettes because you are putting essentially a foreign object (in gas form) into your lungs.
