As everyone else has said, yes you can.

I'm sure that there are cops, lawyers, debt collectors, teachers and many others that haven't toked a single joint and lead happy lives.

I know some stoners that are just miserable and seem to use mj as an escape.

It depends on the person and the situation I guess.

weed is a lot further away from leading a happy life than anything.

i can tell when im depressed when i smoke. do i like it? no. do i deal with it? yes. if you don't use it in moderation it will just take longer to stop once you actually want to stop.


i often find the people who are the happiest smoke the least honestly. whether that just means they smoke one bowl a day compared to 5 or once a week. less is more. i often find myself laughing at movies and shows a lot more when im less baked out of my mind, than possible.


look up what the dhali lama says about drugs. i'm pretty sure he generalizes them all into one category. they take happiness away from later times he claims. the more you do it the less happy you will be later on when you're off it. which is true, you really shouldn't make it any more complicated than that. which is why, LESS IS MORE!!!
