MYTH: Marijuana makes people stupid and/or forgetful and/or lazy

Myths vs. Facts

FACT: Like alcohol, marijuana is an intoxicant and may cause temporary
impairment, and – like alcohol – that’s why most people use it.
Otherwise, marijuana users are typically productive members of society.
Even if marijuana did make people stupid/forgetful/lazy, it is not a
crime to be stupid/forgetful/lazy. Alcohol, on the other hand,
contributes to violent and aggressive behavior, such as fighting,
domestic abuse, sexual assault. I’d prefer people take their chances
with laziness.
