A whole lot of folks self-medicate with intoxicants of all sorts. Will substance abuse exacerbate mental problems? Absolutely. Does it cause those mental problems? Therein lies the question.

Yes some drugs can cause mental illness if abused. https://dualdiagnosis.org/mental-disorders-caused-addiction/

Drugs can do more than mask a simple mental illness, however, as some substances have been associated with the development of disorders.

Then there is this. https://www.cpr.org/2019/03/19/daily-marijuana-use-and-highly-potent-weed-linked-to-psychosis/ I became aware of THC psychosis shortly after Colorado legalized weed. Stores were selling very high content THC. People would come in to Colorado, buy say marijuana laced brownies. They would eat a couple, then smoke some and end up in a psychotic episode.

Funny, I posted this 18 months ago and after 18 months of Biden we have inflation, high food prices, and record gas prices. Supply change problems have caused tampon and baby formula are shortages. Looks like we may have have a recession. This didn’t age well.

LTC David Brown - Let's see Trump's pandemic planning was horrific. He tried to use aid to Ukraine to coerce them into investigating Biden's son. He illegally used veterans charity funds for his use. He hardly produced on his economic promises. He tricked donors into donating more than they planned to. He tried be a dictator by stealing the election. I would rather have an incompetent president vs one who lies, cheats, and steals.
