Smoking a little bit of weed here and there isn't actually all that bad. I got addicted to antipsychotics and antidepressants and alcohol for years and my last straw to get off them, was to try weed and it's actually been helping, I'm off of those for good. My moods are so much better, I'm happier, even healthier, it helps me to sleep and eat. I have an addictive personality actually and I'm surprised that it hasn't effected me like that. I don't even have to smoke it every day either to get the benefits. Just have to be careful with it that's all. Alcohol is downright dangerous and there are no health benefits to it. I think there should be a right age for it though. Above 21 might be the best depending if there are other illnesses that could benefit from it at a younger age, just more research should be done.
