I smoked weed for one year as an adult. It relaxed me. I stopped taking care of the nagging problems of life and career, and I went from making $200k /year to making $6k /year. Also a n=1 anecdote. I know many with a similar one though.

Did you start as a youth? That changes things drastically, as you form your personality around being a weedtoker instead of adding it to an already formed personality, in which case the very insidious harm of weed is much more easily identified.

Wait, are you a Jew?
