People who use pot most likely are going to be using other substances as well.
That hardly exonerates the pot use.
Chronic usage of MJ leads to a lazy life, that leads to loss of jobs, family tired of supporting a bum, and eventually more likely to be homeless. My wife and her sons smoke often, my children by another mother and grandchildren smoke often. I don’t get it at all. I smoked before marriage and kids, and always thought after the kids were grown up, I would pick it back up, and looked forward to it. The thing is, what I thought was fun and relaxing, was not anything like that. Two attempts, and I realized it was daylight outside, but I felt like it was end of the day. I already sleep 8 hrs, why do I want to be in a stoned state for the other 16 hrs? I am trapped in these relationships, and can see all of the downside. Mainly it is like alcoholism, it runs in families. Not genetic, but in the other ways. Nothing is fun unless stoned for them. Wake and bake, is not uncommon. I hate it, but am seen as an accessory grandpa to all.
