We are all addicted to something. This site is addicting, adrenaline,sex, movies, hobbies, money is addicting. I guarantee there is someone on this site so addicted to it it hampers their abilities. All addiction can become harmful if you let it control you.

You are absolutely able to speak your mind. As did I. But no one should accept me as a moral authority on anything. I'm just a shmuck with an opinion. I can only say when I did indulge I was working a full time job, owned a business, invented 35 different products, changed an entire industry. Became an employer not an employee. Became a pretty well known artist in my field. Traveled the country for 14 years doing trade shows. Created products for other companies, helped three other businesses get off the ground. Worked with schools, museums, zoo's, aquariums and made stuff for the Smithsonian. Something I created with my bare hands after taking a big rip is probably in every country in the world right now. Pot inhibits those that lack ambition. Their potential is zero regardless.

I also do not think you know many pot heads. You may be surprised.

Not saying your wrong, but I was heavy into that culture for a very long time. 75% of my customer base probably indulges and I can tell you they do not lack ambition.

Lets just say this. I would lose more customers if they new I was a Trump supporter than if they found out I use to smoke the chronic.

I am hoping you feel the same way about alcohol.

I have fewer problems with the guys going behind the house to smoke a bowl than the guy that drinks in front of his kids. Or at every major public event in the last hundred years. Alcohol kills more people in a year than pot ever will. I watched people drink themselves to death. Can't say I ever saw a pot head smoke himself to death.
