“I know a man who has smoked every day for the past 30 plus years”
I know over 20 people who smoked every day from the time they were 15 or so. Most have low level, undemanding jobs or still live with parents or relatives and work sporadically. Most are divorced or never married. Most have little ambition beyond getting high, hanging out or going to the bar.
I know people who smoke sometimes but don’t let it interfere with work or family. They do fine and have successful careers.
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.
I tried marijuana once....it made me want to rape and kill./sarc
I”m living proof that your speculation is false.
Heavy user for over 31 years. I finally had to quit a few years back to insure I wouldn’t lose my very good and very technical job. I’ve always had a highly technical job that has been very demanding over the last 3+ decades and I’ve both excelled and been rewarded over those decades for my efforts, dependability and professionalism.
Not all people are slackers, and I’ve known many who are heavy users who are quite intelligent and motivated.
