Isn't it also possible that those behavioral/personality issues were pre-existing and not a result of pot use?

Perhaps, but I think it's very easy for people to mistake the effects that drug use has on one's personality as something emanating from the person's natural personality instead.

Because the main result (when not high) of regular pot use that I've observed is wild mood swings (the kind that lead to dangerous or violent behavior), I can see how someone might mistake that as being a natural personality flaw, rather than a side effect of someone's use of pot.
