Throughout University (about 6 years ago), I smoked weed all the time. These days I don't bother - not really sure why...
But let's dispel a few myths shall we.
a) Weed is not addictive. It is only addictive in the psychological sense, similar to how chocolate can be addictive - there is no physical aspect to it.
b) THC, which is the active ingredient in weed, is not harmful. Weed on it's own is actually less harmful than alcohol - problem is most people smoke it with tobacco.
c) Weed does not lead to harder drugs. Weed is known for it's sedative-like effects, whereas drugs such as speed, Exctasy and so on make you more active. If you turn to harder drugs, it's because you were looking for the wrong type of buzz in the first place.
Weed is just like alcohol, fast food, chocolate - hell, anything you can name - if you over-do it then it's bound to cause problems. But in moderation, just like beer, it's okay.
I've been through my 'stoner' phase, but I grew out of it a couple of years ago. But I certainly ain't gonna judge or crticise people who smoke a bit of draw.
