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.
