[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 708033, member: 1233"] I am not one to agree with this article. I think homelessness has a much more complicated cause than just one thing and to blame homelessness on pot is shortsighted. I am sure pot contributes in some way, but to say it is the cause simply is not accurate. I would say mental illness is probably a far larger cause and the lack of proper mental health care and true understanding of the roots of addiction are also far more to blame. It is just easier to blame pot. I would probably blame alcohol before I blamed pot - it is so much easier to acquire and people start using it so much earlier and it is so much more socially acceptable. No one really talks about it, do they? Talking about pot sells more advertising and is more controversial, so right now it gets the blame. The problems is simply far more complex than that. [/QUOTE]
