riiight.. Booze has proven to be a destructive influence on youth and adults alike, it’s addictive and controlled yet we still have issues with DWI/DUI and alcoholism and under-aged drinking so, just to be “consistent” we need to add pot to the equation because potheads need legitimacy.
“recreational pot smokers (who smoke around 11 joints per week) “
THAT’S “recreational” use? With today’s high THC pot, if I smocked 11 joints a week, I’d be totally blitzed all the time! Before I quit, over 30 years ago, a few tokes got me high. 11 joints a week?
If he did smoke maybe he’d have even more success...financially, socially, professionally and so forth.
What came first, the dope or the dope?
No psych text book I have read so far has approved of Marijuana and all were written by liberals. Newer versions may be updated.
Of course, no one knows what he might have been like if he hadn't smoked marijuana. Maybe he could have been the next Bill Gates and employ 120,000 people?
Smoking pot might be like pugilistic dementia and boxing. Some boxers take a lot of blows to the head in their careers without brain damage but they are the exception rather than the rule.
Does he smoke all day? Probably like an after dinner drink? There are high functioning alcoholics, too. Doesn’t mean they would not be better off not drinking 24/7. If you have been doing the same job for 20 years, what wouldn’t you already know?
These people are called Democrats. The Democrats want there to be more of them, whose only civic responsibility is to vote for Democrats on Election Day.
Not very scientific but my own personal experience is yes. It definitely affected me and to this day. The last time I smoked it was 32 years ago.
Also, another interesting observation back when I started smoking it — I initially had an immunity to its effects. It took several times smoking it to get high. But after that, the high came immediately. I suspect that the same thing would happen if I were to smoke it today — 32 years later.
There was definitely “a change.”
Carl Sagan say’s he made quite a number of his discoveries while smoking pot.
Guess it depends upon how you look at it. Stoners being stoned keeps them out of the voting booth. Smoke on stoners smoke on!
Clearly that man belongs in a cage. /s
Well then, we’ll have to recriminalize alcohol. Gotta be consistent and protect the People, after all.
But, he was discovering billions and billions of stars. Before pot came along, it was only a few million.
One of his more significant findings was Taco Bell is a 5-star restaurant.
Ruh-roh, so does tobacco.

Pot destroys your brain, anyone who’s been around anyone who has smoked pot for a while knows this for a fact.
