These studies are done with the premise going in that there is a link between mental health issues and MJ use. This is because the only research we are currently allowed to do into effects of illicit drugs is into their negative impacts. So even with studies actively looking for that correlation, the research comes up as pretty inconclusive.
Only marijuana is being considered for legalization.

Proving how bad the other drugs are is irrelevant, they are illegal, and not being considered for legalization.
