The negative cognitive effects of weed in its various forms are short term but very real. So continuous use deprives the user of living a much fuller life and reaping all the benefits that go with better overall brain function: financial, social, career, creative and so on. So while the addictive nature of marijuana may be debatable, continuous long term, or lifetime use, whatever the cause, has awful consequences for the user.

Have all that yet I was an heavy cannabis user from 14 to 40. The reason I stopped is that I developed Cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. The nausea was debilitating and I didn't want it to progress to vomiting.
As long as your passionate by what you do cannabis pose no problem, but I will conceed that it makes doing uninteresting things almost impossible and that this is probably harming some users in the way you describe.
