Heavy pot use dulls any kind of motivation to better your self.I used to think of it as a harmless way to get high,but have several friends who use it heavy and they can`t get off the couch to do anything worth while.Pot use does not stop alcohol use ,but usually is used in conjunction with it.So while using both you can be nasty & stupid from the booze and doubly stupid from the pot.I can get high from living.Do not need any artificial stimulants to have a good time.
