Yes to all those questions. And I used marijuana to my detriment. What else do you want to know?
Marijuana, or anything substance that alters your consciousness or perception of reality, is bad for people. Whether or not their is a cost to be extracted is a personal experience but society has only one choice in its view of such things and that is to be against them catagorically. We can't afford to give out "passes" to reality. It requires all your attention. We all have to struggle to stay in the Here and Now and not go off thinking that things are the way the way we wish them to be.
