It is not good for you, but it does less damage than alcohol and all the other "illegal" drugs.
When it comes to the "useless pot heads" I think it is more a case of "correlation" than "causation". I can see why pot would be a very popular drug among lazy people who just want to lay around all day killing time (some times I am one of those people). But I have known quite a few successful, dependable people who smoked pot on a regular basis. It seems to be pretty popular among engineers, but that is purely anecdotal evidence based on my own personal experience.
It is not physically addictive, but when I used to smoke every day it would effect my mood if I ran out. I would feel a little grumpy and on edge. But many years ago when I got my first life insurance policy I had been smoking very regular for years. I had to quit for a few weeks and it was no problem. I drank more alcohol for a week or so but that was about it.
I used to drink a lot when I wanted to party (not on an every day basis), and by far the best thing I can say about pot now is that it keeps me from drinking a lot. At my age (59) drinking a lot takes a hard toll on my body.
