Yes, there are other factors to consider (friends who smoked pot, high school and college indoctrination) but I will always believe it was pot that turned one of the happiest little boys in the world to a disillusioned cynical young man.


I have seen the same in some people. I witnessed some people go off the deep end on it. Most friends who were not negatively impacted, gave up smoking it after a couple of years.

Can anyone point to one person who marijuana helped to make a better person?

Ask that question about whiskey.

Oh yes, I knew one person who was a violent cocaine addict, I got him to switch to pot and he became the nicest, tamest teddy bear you could imagine.

Probably saved at least two lives (his own, and whoever he would have eventually killed on the path I took him off of) in the process.

“Can anyone point to one person who marijuana helped to make a better person? “

In 1990 I was diagnosed with major depression & put on anti-depressants followed a few years later with different cocktails of anti-depressants, benxos & then insomnia meds on top of that because I just got worse over the next 25 years. In January of 2015 I was severely depressed, looking at a life in institutions & more meds.

In early 2015 a dear friend suggested I look into medical marijuana. In February 2015 I started using small amounts of cannabis daily. Thanks be to God in Heaven all my depressions symptoms started to disappear.

By the end of 2015 I was off the anti-depressants.
By the end of 2016 I was off the benzos.
By the end of 2017 I was off the insomnia meds.
Due to a MUCH improved mental state I had the energy to exercise again. Since 2015 I’ve lost 94 lbs of flab & walk a minimum of 3 miles every single day.

I now am able to experience joy & happiness that I couldn’t for 2+ decades all because I used cannabis medicinally. So yeah, cannabis has helped me become a healthy, better person.
