Were people randomly assigned to the smoke weed or don’t smoke weed
conditions of the study? No? Then you can’t appropriately make a causal inference between weed and the outcomes you mentioned.
Also, you’re completely avoiding the base rate issue with your claim that most shooters are weed users — so are tens of millions of people in the U.S. alone who DON’T commit acts of violence.
In other words, you may be able to predict if someone smokes weed based upon their history of violence. However, you can’t predict if someone will be violent based on whether or not they smoke weed. [Post edited by Pride_and_Joy at 06/14/2021 09:22AM]
