I must disagree with you. Insanity encompasses a far wider demographic population and is manifest in a variety of human practises. This includes mass delusion (or democracy as I often call it), the needless destruction of the environment (capitalism), the pursuit of wealth over health and the disregard for poverty suffered by others as consequence, supporting the illegal invasion of foreign countries and the slaughter of thousands of innocent civilians for a supposed good cause, "office" culture, and the unhealthy dependence of many on reality TV shows, to name but a few.

You could argue that the variety of recognised mental health problems suffered by people today are consequent upon these factors and it seems absurd to apportion most of the blame to cannabis.
