Well, I have to say, some people can use marijuana and it has the same effects as a glass of wine or two, and there are no issues. I point to my two daughters, who smoked through college and occasionally today, and they are amazing young ladies who are doing exceptionally well in their chosen careers. However, my son smoked to excess and I think it exacerbated his issues. But, not, I don't believe mj is, and of itself is bad. It's better than alcohol, and nothing like hard drugs. It is how it used and for what that can be a downward slope.
