>> Anecdote, data, yadda yadda. > Sorry, are you waving away the comparative value of hard data and personal experience? Absolutely! Not because I don't see value in data, but because my personal experience is all I have to go from. A cursory lit review didn't come up with any hard data for or against that specific proposition (that marijuana makes you ok with being bored). The closest I found was: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2723942/ http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2723942/ Which suggests that among their N=634 marijuana users, ~25% reported boredom as a motivation for smoking. I absolutely agree that we should have credible data to use both for education and policy making! The unfortunate part of our current legal situation is that it's incredibly difficult to study those things directly.
