| Personally I don't use MJ but I know people who do and I have 3 different stories to tell:
1) My good friend for 30 years started smoking MJ when we were teens, still does to this day. She's never held down a job for long, lives with relatives, drives the same old car and never really grew up, never married and no kids. She still behaves like a teen girl. We stopped talking about 3 years ago for other reasons. While this person hasn't physically hurt anyone but herself, she can't take care of herself, can't have normal relationships and has no desire to do anything with her life other than get high.
2) My good friend for about 5 years, he is stable, has a great family, mechanically speaking he is a genius. He can build just about anything. One of the nicest guys you could meet.
3) My own brother, started smoking when he was 12 and it led to every other drug you can imagine. If he could get his hands on it, he did it. Been in jail more times than I can count, disappeared for 3 years, we didn't know whether he was alive or dead. He is messed up, I mean tinfoil hat kind of messed up, can't carry on a conversation and he's supposedly been sober for a few years.
My point is I think it depends on the person, we are all individuals, personality and chemistry so all drugs, whether its alchohol or pot or something else affects each person differently. Personally, I think people are going to do what they are going to do, legal or not. | |

| My husband works with a super nice fellow and every night he comes home and says, "XXXX is a prime example of why smoking too much weed is a bad thing." He's forgetful, lazy, literally sleeps on the job and is very absent-minded. :) | |
