I smoke weed everyday to control pain. I just graduated top of my class in university. So yes people who smoke weed can go far in life. People who have such a closed off mind don't go anywhere in life.

Didn't Bill Clinton smoke the reefer? Wasn't he President? There's tons of successful people that smoke weed. Your parents are stupid.

Carl Sagan. 'Nuff said.

Don't generalize. Just because most of the people on here who smoke weed are lazy and don't do anything with there lives doesn't mean we all are. I smoke everyday and I'm a PhD student. Its not weed that causes people to do nothing, it's lazy people using weed as an excuse.

I am 17 years old. I have a job that I work 8 hours a day mostly everyday of the week. I'm female. And I believe that if on my day when i wanna smoke a blunt than who the front door are you to tell me it makes me a loser? It's my decision. My life. It doesn't concern you. Nor does anyone else who smokes.

False

This bickering within the comments is ridiculous. I'm surprised they aren't deactivated by now. Most people know that marijuana is illegal for political reason. Do you really think the government made it illegal because they care about our health? Really? Come on now, people.

i....um....ooohh, chips...........oh yeah,....toootally do ....not....oooh pretty...agreee with...your statement there sir. *five minutes later* what was the question bro?....hey dude, .....where's my car?! lol

And saying that someone is successful while smoking is equivalent to saying someone is a loser while smoking: it depends on the person, not the weed. You have to already have that motivation to do, or lack it to not do, something with your life.

That's like saying all people who drink are wastes of life too. The key is when you do it, how often you do it, and what you do besides that. For instance, if I come home and smoke a joint after work, it's not any worse than someone who comes home and has a glass of wine with dinner (unless you work in law enforcement or something). If you can successfully maintain a job, (at my age) school, a social life, and still smoke, then you're not a waste of life and you are amounting to things.
