I guess it depends how you define "big deal", and how much pot use we're talking about and by whom.
As the OP and others have said, it did read like a college kid’s decommitment post (and those are incredibly lame).
I just will always push back on people saying pot isn’t a big deal.[/b] It definitely is LESS of a big deal than Fentanyl or other hard drugs, but it still has consequences. As it’s studied more and legalized in more states (as it should be) we’ll get more information as to how much.
And to be serious for a moment, thank you to all for sharing about their experiences with addictions (or even potential ones).
I’m not into drugs except caffeine, and rarely drink alcohol. BUT I do have problems with carbs/sugar, and being on electronic devices too much. It also wouldn’t shock me if I wasn’t careful, I could develop a gambling problem.
So I have my own issues. We all have our vices.

Is it better that the majority of people not use it regularly? Probably. It isn't without undesirable and unhealthy side effects. That doesn't mean that some people aren't better off with it than without. People who don't favor it shouldn't paint with such broad brushes in their criticism.

Alcohol ruins more lives than weed.

Alcohol is the ubiquitous wonder drug. Always has been. Always will be.
There’s a reason water into wine was the first miracle.

Pot definitely has been a godsend for people going through chemotherapy, certain mental disorders (many take it for anxiety and PTSD) and pain management. There’s also some exciting research finding it might help with weight management.
But before widespread legalization medicinal use for treatment was managed with the help of a trained physician. My concern is now many are starting to self medicate while not being educated to pot’s risks, potential interactions with other medications, and not getting supplemental treatment like physical or talk therapy.
