I'm sure there are thousands of rock stars and musicians and artists, who have "lame personality" from marijuana usage. How do you even define "lame personality"? I personally know a few people who're extremely sharp and have very engaging personality. Some of them have master degrees in advanced engineering subjects. I don't understand this argument. Sure it's probably not totally harmless. It's still a lot less addictive and harmful than tobacco and alcohol.

there are certainly people who are successful and use drugs at the same time. There are much more people who don't have that success and whose life's are pretty sad.
I am from the Netherlands. We have a regulated market. I totally support our system. But the system is not there to promote the use of it. It's to prevent criminal organisations selling to youth. It ensures a certain level of quality and service.
Marijuana does not make you sharp. That's an illusion. Enough studies confirming this.

hey.. thanks for the comment. I didn't mean marijuana usage made my friend sharp. They just happen to be intelligent and interesting people. Yes, I do understand why it's better to decriminalise it. But, you're absolutely correct, it shouldn't be promoted either. As responsible adults whoever wishes to dabble in Marijuana, it's their business. It's just that, I don't use and I don't think I've the right to judge anyone who does it.
