>Shattering the stereotype of the lazy pothead, new research suggests cannabis users are actually more satisfied, more successful, and even more likely to volunteer in their communities than their nonsmoking counterparts.
>Among other surprising findings, researchers discovered that weed consumers make significantly more money than those who abstain, with Californians who use the plant earning nearly $24,000 more a year. This could be related to the fact that 20 percent of California pot consumers hold a master’s degree while only 12 percent of non-smokers in the state can say the same.
>Marijuana consumption is also associated with healthier habits and a more active social life, researchers for BDS Analytics found. In Colorado, for instance, 36 percent of smokers described themselves as “very social people,” compared to 28 percent for those who avoid the plant. Additionally, in both Colorado and California, those who consume cannabis enjoy outdoor recreation at significantly higher rates.
I grew up in an eastern german town with many young stoners. They all were fucked up, stinky basements, low iq, poor finances, very poor diet, living in their "stoner lifestyle" dream bubble (while they are stinky in reality). I avoid people like that at all cost.

These.
Habitual drug users will do anything to justify their addiction(s), and will jump all over any bit of some biased--and in that payed--low-tier study that comes from an equally useless science team based in the same states that all of their studies are carried out. Even if it's not statistics, but instead someone who was successful, or is generally looked up to, they'll rub it in your face. Despite it being anecdotal, I have experienced this first hand. Hell, even OP is a fine example of this.
Normally seriously ill people are an exception, and I see nothing wrong with using it in the case of terminally ill people, but I am aware that there are those who will go through the red tape just get their hands on marijuana legally.
