BBtB is right, We (myself included) have gotten off the point. The article says "users at greater risk of mental illness." But this could be putting the cart before the horse.
Alcoholism is considered to be a disease, one with a genetic basis. I doubt that any studies have done to see if habitual cannibis use also has genetic markers. Those same markers could be associated with increased risk of mental illness. Or it could very well be that the habitual use was a symtom of latent mental illness (getting stoned makes users feel better, even at some subliminal level).
I would have to see a lot more evidence before I thought that this study had any validity at all.
