I have a job, a very nice one for the position I'm in.
I go to school full time.
I have errands to run just like everybody else.
I SMOKE POT

Your study, or at least the person summarizing it, sucks.

I am no drug addict.

I smoke pot when I want to.

I give it up for months at a time.

Don't treat me like some goddamn degenerate.

Exceptions to the average don't dispute the average, they only show the rare occurrences when one can juggle an addiction and appear normal.

Anecdotes aren't arguments, you degenerate profligate.

I don't understand what real argument works with pot. Everyone smokes it here, some all the time, some on the weekends, some like twice a year.

It's not lethal

It has no major negative health effects

It's not addicting

Alcohol is worse, it's been proven.

These things are facts.

P.S. I am not a drug addict, I have no addiction.

My anecdotal evidence trumps yours but I'll just stick to the science here rather than wasting my time further.

There is no positive side to marijuana addiction.

You have to consider the sample size of more than a few hundred is a lot harder to get, stoners are lazy.

Doritos are dirt.

I usually cook actual food when I'm stoned, I really enjoy cooking.

I also work an important job and go to school, like I said.

I don't have time to do nothing all day. (Sometimes on the weekends)

I'm a hardworking, intelligent, contributing member of society.

and I like marijuana

In the study, it says that they had 4000 participants, but only 49 could actually stop smoking...
