I actually think pot use is largely behind the rise in “mood disorders” that are flooding the disability claims.

It has a real cost. They aren’t just sitting on their back porch not bothering nobody like they promised.

I agree with the premise of the article.

Your assertion can be empirically proven. Are the bulk of those new SSDI claims coming from CO and WA?

IMO, Occam's Razor dictates that in an economy that has locked a large pool of people from meaningful employment possibly ever, there are a lot of people desperate to play & win the SSDI lottery on bull claims.

Really? Because I think the rise in claims of "mood disorders" is due to the fact that our ridiculous welfare system hands out free money for having a mood disorder. When it comes to government, any system created to offset a problem will be abused until it becomes a bigger problem than the original one.
