“Correlation does not equal causation.”


Correct.

For example, mental illness does not cause self-medication with illegal drugs.

Instead, use of illegal drugs causes mental illness.

Progressives get the whole causation thing bass ackwards, with predictable results.

if you want to stop mental illness, stop drug use.
