doesn't work, yet most people buy that unforunately.
It's not even that straightforward. It would be very difficult to show that if a person is depressed (A), they smoke weed (B). The most you're really likely to be able to show is that there seems to be some correlation between depression and smoking weed, which could mean a number of different things. It could mean that A causes B, that B causes A, that some other factor C causes both A and B, that C causes A and C and A both cause B, and so forth.
