If it's so "extremely mentally addictive" why am I not addicted to it after doing it 3 times? I have many friends who recreationally smoke pot and none of them are remotely addicted to it, nor are they lazy or stupid. In fact, some of them have better grades than I do! It does make you tired/sleepy for the time that you are high, but once it wears off, you are back to normal self. I am in college, btw, and my friends who smoke are the type who probably smoked at least occasionally in high school. I never asked but I'm sure they probably did. Obviously, they got into college, and almost all of them are succeeding in college (one girl isn't, but that is just because she's kind of lazy in general. she also quit smoking pot about a year ago, so it's not the pot making her lazy, that's just how she is.)
I don't enjoy pot that much, but I don't see anything wrong with people who like it doing it. The only thing I liked about it was that everything was a lot funnier than it would be normally. Also, it does not make you fat. It does make you hungry, but my friend Marie is all of about 100 pounds and she smokes fairly often. If you smoke it every day and eat a ton every time you get the munchies, then yeah, you are going to get fat from it. My friend Danielle has gained like 20 pounds since she quit smoking pot. Most of the time, being fat has more to do with genetics and overall eating habits. Someone having a binge while high every once and a while is no different than me being sober and eating a pint of ice cream and a bag of potato chips every once and a while, just because I can.
