While it's debatable on whether marijuana will lead to harder drugs, it's now fact that it can lead to laziness.
Here's the story of a postman who got so lazy after smoking so much pot that he decided to burn mail instead of delivering it:
Neil Goddard, 32, was given a 12-month sentence after he set up a huge cannabis factory in his bedroom and managed to cultivate 8,000 pounds of the drug.
But he smoked so much of it over a year-old period that he was too high to bother delivering thousands of items of post.
So let's revise that (unofficial) postal service motto: "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night shall stay these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds, but pot surely can!"
That was certainly a public service!!
I hate junk mail and the scum that send it to me.
It really depends on the person. You may have become a loathsome unwashed lazy git, but personally I never slowed down regardless of how much I smoked.
I guess Obama is a slow reject too since he admitted to "inhaling alot".

I love this site but the ignorance displayed about Marijuana on here is truly surprising.
Some authors here on Neatorama really need to take one day and volunteer with Cures Not Wars and see the benefits of this plant.
But I guess cancer and AIDS patients who use Marijuana to relieve their symptoms are only a bunch of lazy drug addicts who are a burden on society.

In which the main character is a lazy mailman who's throwing people's junk mail into a hole in a railroad tunnel.
Please prove me wrong, I dont want to have to boycott Neatorama too.....
The problem with pot users is that they often lack self-awareness and seldom think of themselves as 1) addicted or 2) a burden, but they're usually both to some degree. And comparisons to alcoholics or to medicinal users are beside the point really.
Ignorance is bliss, and that makes mytake a very blissful person.
I still call BS on you mt. Really must suck to be biased in such a way.
That's why I hate those lazy babies.
And 8000 pounds?!? Could it be the writer of the article was confused and it was 8000 Pounds Sterling's worth?
