Marijuana is what you make it. I am in a band, work 40 hours a week, am about to start school again to earn my PhD, and try to participate in any philanthropies that pique my interest. I do all this and I smoke all the damn time. If anything, it has helped many of the issues I used to have.

My opinion is just based on my experience with the people I've known who smoked pot...so you may be right that how people integrate it into their lives and are affected by it depends on the person. I just haven't ever seen any positives come from people using pot for non-medical reasons, other than their pleasure at the moment.
I generally feel drugs should be legalized so they become dirt cheap, as long as there is a massive public education program to teach people why not to use them. My main reason for legalization is the elimination of the lucrative and illegal drug trade that leads to so many people being killed.
My dad suggests that drugs should be sold in grocery stores in the rat poison aisle, to try to get people to think twice.
