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.

Thanks for the straight answer fred.  Very interesting.  And after knowing you all this time, imagining you smoking is a stretch for my imagination, a bit.
