perhaps it was that there was strong evidence for correlation...
but that since we can't infer causation from correlation (maybe mj is a causative factor in the development of the illness OR maybe people who are developing the illness are more likely to turn to mj in an attempt to feel better / self medicate) it would be irresponsible to conclude the former since the later can't be ruled out.
