One can discover many insightful things about themselves and the world around them when high. Marijuana helps one to relax and in that time, you do a lot of thinking. On the topic of smokers not being mentally stable, I really have no idea where your coming from on that one. And as for smokers not having much to contribute to society, art and music go hand-in-hand with drugs, as does most literature.
This is what I'm talking about YoureNeverThere...This is a good argument without an attack. I totally respect Sad_Machine and he's altered, if only slightly, my perception of this subject.

I will say I went overboard Sad_Machine on the not being able to contribute to society...It must just be that the over acheivers I tend to hang out with, the parents whos kids respect and try to idolize them don't smoke weed. I can see your point but since I haven't smoked weed on a regular basis for years, I wouldn't know.
