Being an avid ganja fan myself, I don't think too many potheads feel that way. I'm convinced that it's more destructive than alcohol or cigarettes, but used in moderation I think it's safer than anything else you could do. I try to be realistic about being a pothead. Yeah, I smoke weed and I enjoy it, but I don't pretend that it's good for me or any nonsense like that. And realistically, I'm gonna have to quit eventually (unless I actually make it as a musician...lol), so I don't see why I should become emotionally attached to it.

I just wish that there were more objective studies about marijuana use. Too many propaganda campaigns float around and not nearly enough people who are actually interested in the effects and consequences of marijuana use.
