I saw multiple of my most talented high school friends lose their spark to pot. They’ve now made about 2 years of progress in 20 years’ time.

  Many of the best engineers I've worked with are daily pot smokers, including my former boss who currently runs a team at Facebook.

    Agreed, super anecdotal but I'd be curious to know when your former boss started smoking - in my (also anecdotal!) experience, that is a key determinant to a lot of negative behaviors.

    Yeah, I think the key word in the parents post is "high school"... studies have shown people who start early have far more issues than functioning adults.

    I didn’t say all pot smokers fail.
