I understand what your saying, I'm not against legalizing weed but my friends and family who smoke it are definatly not ever going to amount to much, it does affect people differantly but for the most part I know nobody who is really motivated by smoking weed.
My sister started smoking weed again after she retired we always have had a good relationship but now she seems dumber than a rock and i don't enjoy talking to her.

My friends that smoke are successful. I'm sure there are people who smoke who are not. I just don't hang around them. You can pick friends, you can't pick family.

Do you feel the same way about people who drink alcohol? Not alcoholics (not drug addicts) but regular old wine with dinner, beer after work folks. You should. Don't compare apples to orangesn then vilify the oranges.

I graduated college with a 4.0 GPA and was stoned daily.

Is that motivation enough for you?

My goodness you have a narrow view. There are many, many people out there who smoke pot who are perfectly normal, contributing members of society.

Personally, I do not approve of smoking pot because it is illegal, and I believe that laws should be followed. However, any legislation to legalize would have my support.

For those who say "the people I see who use", you don't know who uses most of the time.

33% of the population uses marijuana at least monthly. So take two other people, and yourself. Odds are, one of you regularly uses marijuana.

There are many successful people who use marijuana daily, they just don't advertise because its illegal.
