I don't see any evidence...

Then why did he write it?

Presumably he wrote the article to discuss the role that pot plays in his life as a graduate student.

What he did not do is "whine" about why he "needs to resort" to smoking pot to "cope with his difficulties" -- the whole "whiny and irresponsible" theme seems absent from the article and is just something you've dreamed up on your own, as far as I can see.
