For me personally, I have smoked alot of it it for about 2 years, and I don't think it has affected me. Sure, my lung capacity might have reduced, but it's not stopping me from doing the things I enjoy. As to the argument that we immediately must be stoned to enjoy life, I think it's a rather simple opinion for a complex problem, there are some times where I think, hey - if I was stoned this would be even better! But at the same time that doesn't mean I can't enjoy anything without being under the influence. I think marijuana has a bad reputation for promoting lazyness and weak personality (which is true in some circumstances), but for me it doesn't have any negative effects on my work. I often find it sparks increased attention span and creativity for some things I do. My habit has had little effect on my homelife, and I continue to get along great with my parents. The reclassification won't affect me, and if I'm honest I doubt it will reduce the amount of people who will do it, and currently do it. And at the other end of the scale I'm ambivalent about the 'legalisation' stance on cannabis, either way, it won't make any difference on the way I continue to do things.
