As someone who has lost a parent to drugs, I'll gladly say if my mom just smoked pot she'd still be here. Drugs can destroy your life, but not every drug. Weed helped my depression when I lost my mom and I'm completely healthy. Hell weed even helped me remember answers to problems on my ACT I'm positive I would have missed sober. Complain about the people in your life all you want, but the weed didn't do that to them. They did that to themselves. I know from first hand experience as well.
