Teenage nephew began with pot occasionally at 14, by graduation (very smart guy earlier planned on engineering career, btw) was smoking daily, dropped out of community college first year.

By 21, he'd long ago added alcohol to daily pot consumption so college plans "on hold;" living with two other pot heads; failure to hold regular menial jobs (mostly restaurant jobs but never waiting tables, "interfered with his 'mellow mood'"); by 29 had numerous arrests for petty crimes; in and out of jail and halfway houses; dead of lung cancer by age 40!

Yes, pot smokers DO get lung cancer.

Yes, pot is just great. If you don't believe it, ask families of drug addicts.

That’s amazing! I know a friends kid that did the same, except he didn’t drop out of college, get arrested or get lung cancer, and now is a highly paid engineer with a major DoD contractor.
