    Interesting stats. I can imagine the arrow of causality going both ways.

    (I don’t know why you’re being downvoted for comparative statistics…)

        Primarily. Also, they seem to be linking cannabis use with homelessness for some reason, and are surprised that diagnoses of mental illnesses are higher in a country where people have universal health care.

          It is linked to drug use. Turns out cannabis is a drug. Who’d a thunk it.

          are surprised that diagnoses of mental illnesses are higher in a country where people have universal health care.

          There is no surprise.

          How on earth does one come up with this nonsense?

        People are taking time out of their day to press a button on a discussion forum because what they really want is to visit a wiki? That’s sadly believable.

        I wonder if the same people stop their car at street lights to press the crosswalk button when what they really want is to take a train?
