No more than the same kind of people "forced" you or I to get drunk or smoke cigarettes in school.
If a person becomes a smoker, a drunk or an addict because of the friends they choose...they are
a) being irresponsible blaming others and also
b) lack character because they hang out with the wrong people.
My experience has been your average pot smoker is MUCH more peaceable with someone with them refraining from it, than your average drinker, or smoker....
Please don’t use the relatively respectable term ‘smoker’ for potheads. This stuff is true, and it’s a laarrrgge part of why europe and now the west coast is falling apart. And yes, it makes people lazy idiots who may be harmless but also useless.
Marijuana smokers aren’t very peaceful when they are detoxing. They’re often very agitated.
