According to research published in the journal Addiction, "First, the use of cannabis and rates of psychotic symptoms were related to each other, independently of observed/non-observed fixed covariates and observed time dynamic factors (Table 2). Secondly, the results of structural equation modelling suggest that the direction of causation is that the use of cannabis leads to increases in levels of psychotic symptoms rather than psychotic symptoms increasing the use of cannabis. Indeed, there is a suggestion from the model results that increases in psychotic symptoms may inhibit the use of cannabis."

What this means is, people who blow their minds on high quality pot stop using.
In short, their psychosis leads to them quitting pot.
Compare this to crack and meth addicts who get obsessed about getting high, and whose psychosis leads them to commit crimes to support their habits.
Pot users tend to learn to moderate their consumption.
This is why there are only 2.5% pot users worldwide.
