Re: "Getting high: Quebecers push Canada to top of the list" 
(Gazette, July 15).

If Canadians are smoking so much more pot than, say, the Brits, and 
our pot is more potent than just about everyone else's, why are 
Canadian emergency rooms not overflowing with schizophrenics?

Maybe because the link between pot and schizophrenia is exaggerated. 
Correlation is not causation; coffee drinkers are about as likely to 
develop schizophrenia as pot smokers.
