If you are not a pot, marijuana, or weed smoker, then this may shock you a little bit. Why? Because we all grew up with the world telling us that marijuana and pot are very, very bad for you and only bad people do these types of drugs.

Well, as I matured as an adult and pot smoker, I began to notice something totally different. All the people that that were smoking pot were not bad people. In fact, there were very ambitious people that spoke to the contrary to what the world was saying about pot. It was crazy.

Smoking Pot

I began smoking pot in college like a lot of people did during the “experimental days”. Only, I am not a quitter and am still smoking over 10 years later. The thing about it was I was no slouch in the classroom as an academic. In fact, I graduate in four years, played on the football team, and even continued my education to get my Masters of Business Administration. The people I was smoking pot with as well were and are high achievers. In fact, many of them are doctors, lawyers, engineers, architects, business executives, and financial analyst. I wouldn’t exactly call this group slackers.

Why the bad rap for Pot Smokers?

Then, why does pot and marijuana continue to get such a bad wrap? I am not sure, but people need to just lay off the weed, man. It isn’t that bad, in fact it is great. Pot has been know to allow people to be very creative with their thinking that has lead to lawyers finding alternative ways to win a case, entrepreneurs the flexibility to come up with new business plans to make their ideas successful, and even engineers to come up with more useful ways to build buildings and systems that work better and more efficiently for people.
