The stoners I knew in school would get high several times a day. I'm guessing they qualified for their full marijuana-year in February or March.
There’s a difference between having a drink daily vs getting drunk daily.
AFAIK nobody smokes weed just for the taste without significant “effects”.

We don’t have a problem recognizing problem drinking. I wish the smokers would stop deluding themselves.
I forget? What was the question?
You.. can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes! You can be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes!
You say.. "Steve.. how can I be a millionaire.. and never pay taxes?"
First.. get a million dollars.
Now.. you say, "Steve.. what do I say to the tax man when he comes to my door and says, 'You.. have never paid taxes'?"
Two simple words. Two simple words in the English language: "I forgot!"
How many times do we let ourselves get into terrible situations because we don't say "I forgot"?
Let's say you're on trial for armed robbery. You say to the judge, "I forgot armed robbery was illegal."
Let's suppose he says back to you, "You have committed a foul crime. you have stolen hundreds and thousands of dollars from people at random, and you say, 'I forgot'?"
Two simple words: Excuuuuuse me!!"
My sister smoked daily from her HS sophomore year until halfway through her dual Master’s degrees in Chemistry and Biology at a top-tier Engineering school, carrying a 3.8+ GPA the entire time. Everybody is different.
So, that’s like 3 joints???
Been there, done that, got a whole lot of t-shirts that don’t fit anymore. So glad I walked away from that $#!t.

Heh heh heh ...
If you smoke a lot of weed — like a lot of it — it can potentially do permanent damage to your I could totally go for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich right now.
Fair enough. I don’t advocate either as well. Some people do smoke weed every couple of months, and not daily. IMHO, alcohol has more deleterious effects on society than weed.
All available evidence suggests it is, just not the cannabinoids that make you high.
CBD is proven to reduce a type of epilepsy seizures in children by 80%.
Others have a proven benefit for Glaucoma patients. Others in boosting natural compounds in the body which fight cancer.
It's also been used effectively to treat PTSD and Depression.
But it's not harmless.
Yeah, man. What kinda jelly you got?
Everybody starts with a different set of tools.
The dude is stoned in that foto.

I am just pointing that out, not saying it *proves* anything one way or another.
And certainly, whatever the evils of pot (and I do believe that there are many, especially for young brains in school), they pale in comparison to the evils of the War on Drugs which has become a fast-track to giving the very worst elements in our society incredible amounts of power.
I wish people didnt want to smoke pot, but there is no way I want to militarize my local police and turn the courts into a property-confiscation conspiracy just to stop people from smoking pot.
I dislike pot. I *hate* doors being smashed in by goon squads and houses being confiscated by effete elite fascist judges.
Not much...
