I recently attended the 40 year anniversary of an adventure travel company for which I once worked. We were all in our twenties then and company policy pretty much condoned marijuana. Its use was pretty much universal among employees. Now years later this group seemed pretty successful. Four doctors including one surgeon, several lawyers, financial advisors, a college professor and many business owners. It is a group of achievers and most of them are parents within long term marriages. I saw nor heard no evidence of hard drug use and even though there was an open bar no one got drunk. However many if not most still enjoyed a toke or two. Clearly this group does not match up with the examples generally given by those who oppose marijuana use. Marijuana use is always cited as a cause when unsuccessful people use it. The question that came to my mind was "would these people have been as successful if they never used marijuana."
