Uh, weed is terrible for you. It might save your life if you have cancer, but otherwise, AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

WHY is it terrible? It makes you NOT WANT. It removes your willpower.

Weedtokers be like: "I can stop any time I want, but I just don't want to." CAPTAIN OBVIOUS STRIKES AGAIN.

I smoked weed for around 15 years. In the mid-1980's, I wanted to stop, and I did so immediately, and without any difficulty. I haven't touched it since then.

I represent a sample space with an N of 1, so of course, no generalizations can be made about my case. However, my situation is still a counterexample to the above generalization.

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?
