Controversial: Marijuana (the little smoke) is a useful drug?

Marijuana is a useful drug (sometimes) because it helps people in entrenched positions to move on when one avenue in life is closed (e.g. being made redundant and can't get a job in the same field).

I suppose you can smoke yourself silly and not get a job at all, but that is rather boring. There may be better psycho-chemical agents available? Or get so paranoid and confused that you do not know left from right (I still have trouble with this as I never learned it young).

It may not be better than nought. I do not have this problem, but I see other people holding on to the old ways and cannot adapt to the changing world!? Marijuanna just makes me confused.

Weed has never had a big effect on me, but oddly enough, a bowl does a great job at curbing my manic tendancies (insomnia, hyperactivity, riskiness, etc). And honestly, I would much rather smoke a bowl than be on some f*cked up mess like lithium to help with fairly minor bipolar tendancies.

I don't smoke often at all. I think twice in the last month, and before than not in at least a month. But I think, like any drug, it has its uses, if you're not doing it too much.
