Not buying it. To be successful, you have to want to actually get out of bed in the morning. Weed makes you lethargic and loagy.
This is so blatantly obvious I'm appalled that it's escaped notice for so many years, so many decades.
That was one of my very first observations about dope
when I was still a teenager; that while it may have made people relaxed and mellow, at the same time it made them listless, lethargic, unmotivated, for hours, for days, afterwards.

During the late 1970s, the early 1980s, many who smoked dope also happened to be politically liberal.....and ostensibly sympathetic to the plight of peasants in the third world (this was a time when food was scarce or too high-priced for them).
The peasants had no food, or no cheap food, because the western first-world demand for marijuana was so great it was foolhardy to grow food.
(This mostly pertained to uppermost South America.)
Dopeheads could never see that their greed for the weed was causing tens of millions of others to go hungry, and even starve to death. So much for the social concerns of the dopeheads.
