Here are how my different habits broke down in college for me:

Alcohol - Good social life, grades suffer a bit, mental health suffered somewhat.
Weed - Declining social life, grades suffered, mental health suffered a lot.
Uppers - Somewhat declining social life, good grades, mental health was off after extended use.
Shrooms/Acid - Mixed social life, mixed grades, mental health weird had to stop was making me hate myself.
Coke - Good social life, oddly best grades ever in college including an A+ on a 20 pg paper, after my 1.5 year use had to stop was going broke and getting depressed.

Clean and Sober - Good job nearing six figure and I am workaholic so I like it, good social life, busy all the time out of work, great mental health.

Just my own personal experience and feelings with drugs and drinking compared to going sober few years back. Obviously everyone differs but I find nothing redeeming about any drugs compared to being clean/sober and active. Just me though like I said, feel free to roll some doobs and relax all you want.

So you had a problem with drugs and need to stop to live as a normal person. Some of us can still smoke and not have it effect our daily lives.

Have you done an objective analysis over an extended period comparing your social, financial, physical and mental health while using a substance compared to when you're not using it? If you have and found yourself better off with drugs in your life more power to you, my experience personally and witnessing other people is that is rarely if ever the case.

You only live once man and long as your not shootin, snortin or popin it's all good. Also the rate weed is going with all the medical shit and voting for it here and there. It might even be legal in our life time.
