 Cannabis like alcohol is powerful stuff

Like the disclaimers on all the big pharma adds, this should also be a factor known to users. Taint' all good. Drawbacks...

Re: Cannabis like alcohol is powerful stuff
To all who in college, or just got out, who would booze or toke till the sun comes up.....
Many of us who once did and stopped have among our various different reasons for stopping, the same few reasons.
When starting to finish college and trying to start in business in some way, the cost of weed is a problem. So is the lifestyle.
The smell can pervade many more of your possessions than you think. Then there are the often late nights and weed-related-friends who want you to say with them in that life. That lifestyle can be more prolonged than many think it will be.
And that was with the weaker weed of yesteryear. Consider your options, younger versions of me that I am writing to in my mind. So many options for thought.
Reading challenging philosophy and or science and or history and or math that interests you. Looking for work and challenging your mind are two jobs that you need to dive into. Like college, you read and discuss interesting and challenging things or drift into fun mind stalling boozing and smoking.
Dressing for office work and going with your best resume version to at least one office each day. Then scout out others and ask for their HR.
HR knows that companies specifics of a good or bad impression. If you make a good one you are a big step up. Ask them for advice with that company.
When you leave, write it all down. The company name, who you talked to, what their jobs are, what they said and what you said. Edit that each night as a job seeking journal.
Make each day looking for the start of a career job the same onerous early start in rush hour traffic, using a car or mass transit, to do the first resume job attempt.
Follow that each day with scouting for the next one or two. Doing that each day shows that first job interviewer that you are a serous interviewee who is not coasting in during the mid-morning or afternoon.
The economy is now humming. Dont miss the boat because you took this part of your life "off."

Re: Cannabis like alcohol is powerful stuff
Chilling cite, Red.
I was simply thinking of my first two years in College. While I toked a little, I was by far mostly an apprentice lightweight beer drinker.
Learning both how to drink beer, socialize, and learn about what almost instantly became some of my fave music.
For a long time I thought I made big mistakes there. At this point of my life, I am glad for them. Most of the guys smoking in that group were running through a lot more money than I was. I was drinking mainly quart bottles of a very cheap brand called "Huber" beer.
Once I went with a couple of guys when they went to buy some in another dorm room. We get there, and the guy is sitting on a folded blanket. There is zero furniture in the room. He has his merchandise for my buddies, a scale, and a radio. I thought "damn, this guy has spent everything on this habit."
The example of him and a couple of other people, and my own discipline problems controlling drinking beer kept me from ever doing much of what at that time was thought of as a counterculture wonder drug. I figured that if I was barely able to drink on a given day without passing out, I might well become one of the guys who overdid it with the smoke.
Then, a few years ago, I saw an HBO or Frontline documentary following some people who were trying to get adult, mainstream lives going with a career and spouse after being in a years long drifting life in a weed culture they had established for themselves.
I consider it insidious. However, it has had decades of good press. So it is going to keep on, I recon. You certainly saw the same "get lost with your tired anti-Pot propaganda" posts that were replies to you, in your link, that I did.
I imagine most who support it now would say the same thing. Over the years, I have heard a lot of great praise of it, and of the great economic opportunities of both openly selling and taxing it, but using the plant for industry. Ropes and other things.
So, it will persist for quite a while.
