Well people who robbed were dopers so i have earned the right to tarnish with one brush

But seriously, i soppose it depends on the person, if you can keep the weed at an enjoyable social level and not make it your life then its not as much of a probelm/
Hahah I think I'm an example that contradicts you. Back in HS I was the biggest nerd around. I went to probably one of the top 15 high schools in the nations with a bunch of other nerds. Had an in internship at Merrill Lynch. Then an internship at one of jersey's top engineering firms. Won a bunch of competitions. Extra curricular activities. Volunteering. etc etc.
But once college apps were done and I was free, I got completely wasted, and I can admit to that. Smoked on average 3-4 times a day, every day. My typical day was going to someone's house.. rolling a blunt.. smoke it.. roll another.. smoke it.. go to some other kid's house.. have a few beers.. roll a blunt.. smoke it.. then go to a party and completely wasted.
I admit to doing coke, lsd, ecstacy, perks, vics, OCs, ritalin, concerta, I've robotripped.. that's all I can think of off the top of my head.
As soon as college started, I stopped all of that. Drank on the weekends. Didn't even smoke for 2 weeks. Now I smoke twice a week, usually on the weekend, and I drink every fri/sat. I'm getting straight A's at the moment. And I believe I'm completely functional. (Granted, my experiences with coke, lsd, ecstacy, perks, and vics were limited though.. that can easily get out of hand, but I can count how many times i've done each with 2 hands.. except OCs... that shit is scary. that's all I have to say about that).
But yeah. I only went crazy because I had no responsibilities, but now that I do so my drive and my focus are set towards succeeding. I only party on the weekends, though I do party hard. And come thanksgiving break/winter break/summer.. I'll probably become a complete waste of life again, but once school starts, I'll be revert to being a big time nerd.
