I think you're both right. Too much marijuana use can really fuck you up and make you a lazy piece of shit who indulges themselves in escapism all day, however, I think it has a ton of medicinal uses (no it doesn't cure cancer, but it really helps with aches and pains, sleep, etc.) and when used in moderation it can really help get one out of a creative rut, at least in my experience. I do think most people should probably stay away because it's habit forming (despite what the memes say) and because they're too retarded to handle it responsibly and not abuse it. Then again who am I to be the gatekeeper. I think marijuana's place as a relaxant that can make one complacent has scary implications as techno-capitalism has effectively conquered us, it becomes a means of facilitating totally losing oneself in technological media stimulation, as one moves between video games, junk food, netflix and reddit, not questioning your basic assumptions but instead reinforcing them and wasting years of your life. But people do that without weed too. I guess it's no worse than alcohol, so as long as people can drink the pain away why not let them smoke it. We're fucked anyway.
