mostly agree, but 10 years behind what? Your ideal, or socially accepted view of how a life should be lived? I wait for the day, drugs are unbanned, medicine cant be patented, religion is banned, and the world has one common global goal, space exploration! I'd stop smoking cannabis for that. ;-)

Behind where they want to be (not my opinion, theirs). They look round when they come out of the weed stupor and realise that everyone else is 10 years further ahead in anything. I'm not just meaning careers - often they never go on vacation abroad/travelling (past maybe Amsterdam). They look around and see their friends who have been all over the world after university, when they've done really nothing.

  Ah okay i didn't think of that, that is a pity then yes, as travelling broadens/opens the mind better then cannabis hehe. Specially seeing how other people have to live, struggle or live glamorous, etc. Using cannabis (being high) does make it easy to postpone things, and before you know it its indeed postponed 10 years. Though i have had this idea/thought too, i'm still getting less convinced about this. I've seen too many different cases to be sure. I might consider videogaming/online multiplayer stuff ruined more time of people and or students around me then cannabis. And yes, they do 'work well' together :)

    >travelling broadens/opens the mind This is bullshit. Most travel is leisure, just like cannabis, and not at all mind expanding. This is just a game of "my hobby is better than yours".

      And you cannot get a nice idea or realisation, gain some knowledge when you are doing something considered 'leisure'? Must be interesting hanging out with you outside office hours. (also not saying anything was better, i like it all, including wasting some hours a week on a videogame)

      People can disagree without one of the opinions being "bullshit". Traveling opened my mind and gave me much larger perspective on things. Sometimes it is leisurely, other times it is not (I have foreign family and not a lot of resources and no background in this country).
