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.
