I lost a really good friend back in high school because he became a pot head. I was not a square. I smoked out with him. But he just went crazy. All he wanted to do was get stoned every fucking day. He went from chilling with Dead Kennedys and Sex Pistols to Grateful Dead. He got black lights and lava lamps. His brain stopped working. He really became the personification of Spicoli from Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Couldn't even have a conversation with him anymore. That sucked a lot.
This. I can relate to this.
I knew a couple dudes in college (15+ years ago now) who were bright guys, but smoked every single day. When you'd question them about pot, the usual excuses would come up:
- "Oh I can quit anytime. I just do this to relax."
- *"It's not addictive, I don't have to have it or anything."*
Fast forward a couple years and these two bozos never graduated. Fast forward now 12 years, and I checked around on them a few years back and guess what they're doing? Living on couches, delivering pizzas or just not working, and smoking pot on the couch every day. They've done nothing in life and never left the couch, basically.
Pot isn't physically addictive, but I'll fist fight anybody who wants to try saying it's not mentally addictive and habit forming.

Anything can be that way, with certain people. Even non-vice things like working out or reading.
I live with two total stoners. It is excruciating. One was supposed to move out by today. He hasn't. Potheads are the worst.
