Prove this please.

Too bad Dr. Drew isn't a real scientist or an authority on drugs and drug use.

Why is smoking weed or doing any other drug mistakes?

You can also be smart and use drugs.

I think it is more like two years.

While this *may* be a risk of smoking marijuana, there has never been a case of cancer conclusively linked to marijuana, perhaps because of its anti-cancer properties and smoking trends.

Dr. Drew is not a scientist, and even then, you must evaluate the studies yourself to determine what the truth is likely to be. If you wish to read about studies on drugs, check out http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov/ you wont be able to view the studies without paying money or having a subscription, though. (Ugh.) Reading articles BASED on studies doesn't count, by the way.

Will you kindly quantify the damage of smoking one joint? I really am curious.

As far as the original poster: if you want all really large obstacles out of your way in your goal for a great job, don't smoke weed. You may be drug tested and in this world it is best to not fuck around with things like that, especially for marijuana. I have seen countless emails and posts asking for immediate help for passing an upcoming drug test for a major employment opportunity and they either (A) got fucked or (B) got lucky. The best you can do from here is evaluate your performance OBJECTIVELY as possible (that includes entertaining possibilites that contradict whatever you want to believe or what you think might be true) before and after marijuana use. Good luck.
