As much as I think that Marijuana should be decriminalized completely. I also still think that it causes a ton of problems among those who smoke it. I've had friends change completely after starting to smoke habitually. I don't think it would be a problem if our society weren't so messed up right now. But, like alcohol, I think poverty and isolation just makes it so much worse.

You don't need to reach to poverty and isolation to see its effect. I have some friends in their 30s-40s who daily consume 3-7 joints, and it shows. They are in full denial but you can really tell they are slow. In everything. It screws up your cognition.

Just wondering, have you told your friends that you notice this about them? If so what was their reaction like?
