You’ll get ridiculed here on FR, too, but I noticed that decades ago when I watched some bright, ambitious, attractive friends of mine drop out of college and turn into pot heads who were just looking for their next drink, their next hit, and their next guy.

This is from someone who has never been influenced by peer pressure and resisted the use of both. I consider myself an impartial observer. I do not object to the use of either substance on moral grounds.

I am from Western Washington, many of my pot head friends have already died, many of the rest have been afflicted with mental issues. Some have been OK, but by the time we are in our 60s it becomes more and more apparent which lifestyle choices had negative impact. Obviously, boozing has been a problem for some, but I firmly believe based on those that I have been around for many decades that pot use has been worse.
