Hell yeah. Correlation studies are useless guys! I know very much science.

Hey thank you! I thought Lemmy could never have the full Reddit experience, but there's completely lazy and misinformed comments here too.
Try reading the article next time.
No, they don't "fail basic science". They point out that there is a correlation and we need better studies, but the mere existence of the correlation is worrying, especially considering a lot of recent studies are confirming the link between cannabis and teen psychosis. A lot of the early studies on the harm of cigarettes started similarly. Correlation between lung cancer and smoking tobacco doesn't imply causation, but it's one hell of an alarm bell.
The author of the article themselves doesn't say cannabis is a gateway drug and even recognizes that asking people to just not use it isn't realistic.
Smells like bullshit to me
