Look OP, All I know is from what I've lived and seen. My group of friends in college (about 20 of us) all smoked obscene amounts of pot. At some point some members of the group put their big boy pants on, grew up and quit smoking. The other half kept at it and are still burning to this day. Today, if you put the group of us in a room and separated us, of the quit smoking half, 2\3 of them want on to graduate school, the over whelming majority of the non smoking half wear ties to work and have their own office (versus a cubicle) and that group easily makes double what the other group does. The non-smoking group are far better fathers to their kids and just have better lives. Two people in the smoking group despite having bachelor's degrees go to a job where their name is embroidered on their shirts. And despite approaching their 30's, two people in the smoking group are still idiot drunks that no one will go out with because they still drink and behave like they are 19 years old.
All I know is what I see. You can argue whatever you want and post all kinds of stats, but the bottom line is, all the people that I used to smoke with, who still smoke are fucking losers compared to us who don't. They are shitty fathers to their kids, they have shitty jobs, and most are struggling to pay their mortgages now because despite having more 'natural talent' and intelligent that a lot of my buddies in the non smoking group, just never got their shit together. I don't know if it's not related to smoking pot, but its the only factor I can think of between the two. Sure smoking pot, playing video games, and ordering a pizza was fun when I was in college. It just seems now that my priorities have changed. I wish I could say the same for my friends who are still smoking and waiting for 'the next big hustle'.
