Lol...people don't smoke based on whether it not others have been successful or unsuccessful while smoking.

People have the stereotypical idea that pot smokers are lazy, unemployed, and leach from the government...that couldn't be further from the truth. When someone is an alcoholic or addicted to opiates, cocaine, ect, it's failed easy to tell. Not so with marijuana. Many smoke as a substitute for alcohol because for one reason or another they prefer it, some just smoke for fun, some to counter pain killers they take for a condition, some substitute it completely for pain killers, some smoke to help get their appetite going, some for nerve damage. There's so many reasons, and so many different people that most would never associate with marijuana. Personally, I don't really smoke anymore, but if I do these days, it's because one of the two latter reasons I mentioned above. I have plenty I nerve damage, and I'm on some very nasty medicines. Also helps my stomach with throwing up, I take this nasty memory medication that you have to let dissolve in the mouth, and it gets me so sick. I'm used to it now, but at first, I think I would've starved to death, lol.

These days I don't feel the need to smoke. And there's plenty of people that just want a buzz, for the same reason people want to get drunk or under the influence of any drug. I can't speak for everyone, just my own reasons and reasons I know of that other people have for smoking, drinking, ect. I've found that marijuana is by far the peats damaging to your body, the people around you, and your way of life. Hell, ya for even have to hurt your lungs by smoking it.

I just hate to see it demonized for no reason, and stereotypes pushed that are just conpletely wrong.
