All of the people I know, myself included, whoever smoked pot went on to become successful, well-adjusted people in society. Do I take that as evidence that people should smoke pot in order to become well adjusted, successful citizens? Of course not. Correlation != causation. There are many factors why someone would drop out and end up just wanting to get high/play video games/surf the net/etc. Underlying depression can often be masked by substance abuse for example. The substance can cause an effect but it can't control you. As for getting the facts out there and basing policy decisions on them I want all the facts to be known, positive and negative.
