Out of all the screw ups in my life,
booze has been behind most of them.
Drugs, very few.

I figure I smoked heavily everyday at uni
and I got a 2:1 and a Masters in Civil Engineering and left uni with a wonderful girlfriend. I have since got myself a nice large house and held down a good job as a hydraulic modeller.

It can't have done me too much harm.

I'm pleased above that you've mentioned that you _do_ know people who have fucked up on that stuff, most people don't admit that on this kind of debate.
And I'm also very pleased that this isn't your case, and that everything is going swimmingly for you.

However, I'm sure you're very aware, at least, I hope, that if you were in a negative situation, the weed can turn from "A little tipple at the end of a hard day" to "It's only a tiny bottle of vodka, it's no big deal", if you know what I mean.

yeah, one of the guys was diagnosed with "cannabis-induced psychosis"
basically bipolar disorder I think. Caused him to throw his prized guitar out the window...

A very good friend of mine was also diagnosed as bipolar, but she was pretty much heading that way before she started smoking from what I've been told. Strangely, she found that smoking pot helped manage the side effects of her meds afterwards.

I do know what you mean, and in my case, when I've been in a negative situation then I've stopped smoking during it.

I'm sure any therapist would agree that material achievement would indicate that all is well.

*nods knowingly*
I'll be coming through Exeter on the train tomorrow. Please stand on the platform at about 12.30pm so I can pull your beard.
