Pot varies from person to person. For some it's a help,.for some it's a take it or leave it thing-for others it can ruin their life. I have one friend who cannot let her brother know where she lives because her brother steals from her for pot. He's the only person I've ever known to have this serious a compulsion for weed-but I'm sure he's not the only one out there who just needs to stay away from the stuff!
