I smoked pot fairly regularly for about 5 years, and have been smoke free for about a year and a few months. I miss the feeling of being stoned, but decided to quit when I weighed my pros and cons. My cons outweighed to pros by far. Hell, even my PROS were cons in a way. Example- Pro: weed lets me relax in a social setting. Hmm, in that I see a con: how can I ever learn to socialize comfortably not stoned?

Speaking for myself, I used pot for more than just catching a buzz. It was like a security blanket, a place where I could hide from reality. But when I smoked pot, my priorities were very skewed. Lots of times I would get stoned and just not do anything because suddenly TV turned really cool, even fishing on TV was awesome. Don't get me started on how trippy Teletubbies are when you are stoned.

Pot for me was fun, but I feel that my ambition suffered for it, especially bad because I started the last 2 years of high school. I should have been working towards my future, instead of laughing my ass off because my friend spilled his pop at Taco Bell. I know some have ambition regardless, but I really think the majority, when stoned, lack ambition.

edit: I also think people who have pot in their house when there are little kids living there are selfish, if not addicted.
