I have friends who are extraordinarily wealthy, as in private jet money wealthy.

They smoke the stuff and are very productive, sharp as a tack and hold a constructive and complicated discussion, even with those whose views are not aligned with theirs.

You have seen people who abuse a substance, which wholly different from casual or recreational use.

They need to be in a program or make a decision about what is important in their lives.
