Yes, I've been high on pot, so I guess I'm qualified to comment in this thread, eh?
Yes, it dulls ambition in people.
Two of my friends have told me so (both life long pot smokers themselves).
Also, too many people can't leave the gange alone when at work. Yeah, who cares if the worker is a musician. But what about my last job where the work was using knives and saws to cut up meat carcasses (meat processing plant)? Or what if it is a professional driver?
And comparing smoking pot to downloading mp3???
Last time I checked, downloading an mp3 wasn't dangerous, where as I'm sure you wouldn't like it if your next bus driver was driving high.
Now that I've said it, I WOULD be willing to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana and to treat offenders the same way that drunks are who drive, go to work drunk, hurt people when drunk, etc. are.
