Weed is good and bad. The bad part of weed is that it does hold some back from moving forward in life. They don't want to get a good job because they will have to stop smoking weed. To me that's the only draw back.

Weed vs Alcohol = Weed Wins

Weed vs Pain Pills = Weed Wins

Weed vs Ambien = Weed Wins

It's just way better for you than big phara.
