Sure it does. Not only that, but he has spent his entire life surrounded almost exclusively with recreational drug users. You, on the other hand claim to have never smoke pot. It goes without saying that Ozzie is in perfect position to observe the causal relationship. You, on the other hand have absolutely no credibility.

No it doesn't:

"post hoc ergo propter hoc

"Definition:
The name in Latin means "after this therefore because of this". This describes the fallacy. An author commits the fallacy when it is assumed that because one thing follows another that the one thing was caused by the other." - http://www.datanation.com/fallacies/posthoc.htm

Not only that, but he has spent his entire life surrounded almost exclusively with recreational drug users. [...] It goes without saying that Ozzie is in perfect position to observe the causal relationship.

What were his control groups? Where is his statistical analysis?
