In my opinion, it does bad things to people, I have a friend who has been my buddy forever and he recently started smoking last year, and since then he hasn't been the same. He never wants to do anything with me unless were drinking or smoking. I don't smoke, ive done it a few times but i dont like it, i also drink on occasion but its not a big thing for me.Whether you think so or not, weed changes people, and for some people doing it for a bit changes them to think about how dumb it can be. I do agree that especially on ns, everyone does it. and no matter how much you say whatever I dont care what people think you do, and even if someone doesn't directly come up to you and say yo man smoke weed, you still get influenced even if no one says a single word to you. My response would be yeah, sure try it out, and see if you like it, but don't become so addicted that you need it. Don't let it take over your life that you need it to have fun. Thats my ten cents
