I have been around a lot of marijuana users in my lifetime, and I will say that the people who get all stupid and lazy and lose all ambition in life were stupid and lazy and had no ambition to begin with. In my experience, I have been around far more marijuana users (even chronic, daily users) who hold down professional careers with high levels of responsibility, who are parents, who are actice members of their communities, etc.

I have been smoking for over 5 years now. i am a honor student majoring in architecture. the exact same goes for my fiance of 5 years. we have both held down full time jobs since 15, when we could get work permits. we always had ambitions and goals that marijuana has never hindered and never will. we smoke every night to relive the stress of being full time students and working full time jobs. the equivalent of someone tossing back a beer or two after a hard day.
i do believe that their are ways to get addicted to ANYTHING. people get addicted to the Internet and myspace for christs sake! marijuana is no different. my love and i have both had to quit smoking for a time to get the jobs we have now. there was absolutly no problem what so ever. none. i also have friends who quit cold turkey with no problem.
just as someone else on here said that the people who are lazy and unambitious while smoking pot were like that before. or they wanted something they can pin an excuse onto to keep being a bum. wow a guy who stole $2000 for pot seems way out of the ordinary considering an ounce of marijuana is only $130 and that should last one person approximatly a month. the guy was more than likely just saying is was for pot because he didn't want to admitt it is really for crack, or something along those lines. or maybe he is selling it and needs the money to pay his dealer back because something went wrong. i don't believe it for a second that someone would steal that much money for pot when it is so cheap.
Pros:
Makes food very yummy
calms you down
takes away headaches
helps you sleep
makes you laugh
combats naeusa better than anything
cannot overdose
cons:
illegal
ignorant people will give you **** about it
can make you cough

Since I was a total idiot before I smoked pot I guess too much damage couldn't have been done. I mean, I was already a mess before so smoking just added to what was already a mess anyways and perhaps in some ways made it better in that since everything was already messed up pot just helped keep the mess from getting all crossed up and in trouble due to some over-accelerated subjective reaction based on the mess within which I already am. What a mess.

Well, I knew a guy that started smoking it when he was about 13 or so and he was still smoking it two years ago when I last talked to him. He was about 24 then. To say the least, he has a dependency on it. He gets anxious when he doesn't have it. He would smoke everyday and most the day. He even got a felony for steeling $2000 worth of merchandise at a store he worked at just so he could use the cash to buy pot. So you have people who will say it's natural and bla bla bla. Then you have others say that a drug is a drug. Whatever you believe, pot makes you stupid. Point blank. He was a pot smoking, video game addicted, jerk.

If you smoke it like once in a while there is no problem but the ones who get mentally addicted to it have trouble. It does hurt memory if you smoke alot too. There are a few things though that surprised me (I dont smoke I have an addictive personality) my fiances best friend is a severe asthmatic and since he started a few months back hes been using his inhaler alot less.(dont believe me but Ive seen the proof)

I don't think it "makes" anyone stupid or lazy, I think stupid lazy people use it to have an excuse and/or not care they are that way, therefore giving us all a bad name.
So to all the idiots out there: Stop giving this wonderful plant a bad name!
=D
