Unless if you're going through painful chemotherapy, weed is nothing more than a degenerate substance and using it on a day-to-day basis makes you almost no different than an alcoholic or an opiate addict. All it does in the long run is retards your thought process, clouds your judgement, and slows down your ambition, regardless of the fact that it "calms you down" or "makes you more creative".
Hell, if anything I sympathize more with amphetamine users than I do with sedative users really. At least most of the time they use stims to speed themselves up & get shit done. Weed, opiates, and alcohol for the most part just turns you into a hungry, sedated couch potato.
