I use to smoke weed. The guy I use to smoke with never drank alcohol because his dad was an alcoholic, instead he smoked. He died 8 years ago whilst driving home blazed. Him and the guys he smoked with frequently were deadbeats. Literally. They didn't work, they offered nothing to society. However he was still my friend from 3rd grade. Seeing people waste their lives and potential because of a stupid recreational drug is saddening.
