    Did the article imply causation?
    I believe it pointed out a correlation - as you wrote.

    Pot heads don't need to be legitimized by anyone.
    They just don't want to be assaulted and imprisoned for partaking in a flower.

    Live and let live.

    Give it a try.

    1. 8:25- You must be referring to the alcoholics! You never hear about stoners missing work on April 21st, but over 20% call out the day after Super Bowl! Figure that one out, if you're not too hungover.
