'Pot' as used here is a slang term for marijuana. The stereotype is that heavy use of marijuana reduces intelligence.

Thus, the poster doesn't agree with the other people's views, and is sarcastically telling them to reduce their usage of marijuana as, in his/her opinion, it is reducing their ability to make intelligent statements about the crash.
