Yes, that was what I was trying to say.
Maybe I'm putting too fine a point on it, but using cannabis for even one day will make you stupider and lazier the next day.
Using cannabis daily will make you stupider and lazier in general.
People who deny this are lying to themselves.
When I was a regular cannabis smoker, I had a high-paying, high-status job and was commended for my work. But I could have learned more and done more in that yearlong period - with no psychic cost. Stoners (and I certainly was one) concoct amazing rationalizations for the newly tighter bounds on their motivation.
