Potheads were always from the baby boomer group. Many, if not most, tried it then in their teens/early 20s, maybe did it to fit in with their peers but never personally got much out of it and discontinued consistent use into their career years due to older bosses frowning on it but others continued throughout the decades and now are fully into daily use.

My nephew began experimenting at 14, became a daily user around 17 and died of lung cancer at 38.

Sad all the way around, as he had a full engineering scholarship but dropped out as his “general education classes were boring and too much of a drag and a big waste of his time!”

He ultimately worked in restaurants but couldn’t be trusted as a waiter either to keep his orders straight or always to “remember” to return the cash to the register.

No offense, but your nephew sounds like a flake.

Anyone who uses any drug to the point it affects their life goals...will use any drug to affect their life’s goals.

And there’s dozens of them to do the job.

Cannabis is particularly damaging to the developing brain. It literally causes brain damage in younger users.

Legalizing Marijuana is a Terrible Idea
