Researchers at the University of Connecticut in the US tracked the effect of teenage alcohol and marijuana use on the achievement of life goals, defined as educational achievement, full time employment, marriage and social economic potential.
The study included 1,165 young adults from across the US whose habits were first assessed at age 12 and then at two- year intervals until they were between 25 and 34 years old.
...
Overall, individuals who were dependent on either marijuana or alcohol during their teen years achieved lower levels of education, were less likely to be employed full time or get married and had lower social economic potential, researchers said.

Unless the ambition was to binge drink and get high.
Whatever....
I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you. Who knew?
Say what?
*Hic* Whatever.
It actually had to be officially stated, since their are so many marijuana defenders telling us how "harmless" pot is.
That’s in my opinion the worst the marihuana can do
Make folks lazy and apathetic and procrastinate
Alcohol is a lot more responsible for destructive behavior
I don’t drink or smoke anything but if I had to choose I’d smoke weed
Girls are the best drug
It’s a funny drug though
You can’t OD on it but it can kill you
And take your money and your kids and house
Has to be enjoyed with prudence
I just wish the stoners living by the river in the middle of town collecting junk, littering the area and setting fires would be a little less satisfied by there current status.
This is what the democrats want.
This is why you see the drug legalized in several states.

You’re stupid.

I was an Alpha who smoked weed years ago daily
It slowed me down some but I was so driven I plowed ahead anyhow
It doesn’t make everyone a couch tater
Dave’s not here.
“At 18, I bought a huge bag of pot. When I ran out, I was 45 years old...and broke.”
Wow! Weed lets you be your own Rip Van Winkle. Just add a rusty shotgun.
I was joking...sort of.;-)
Or maybe those less ambitious are simply drinking and smoking more?
Kind of like seeing someone lazy on the couch all day and concluding “that couch WILL make you lazy! Ban couches and arrest anyone that lies on them!”
Dude...
My own lifelong observation agrees somewhat. By no means do all stoners become lazy. How ever every stoner I know is stuck emotionally around the age of a college sophomore; all Hitlery/Obozo lovers.
