All the kids who ended up 'burn-out losers' weren't hot #### in the first place. I guess it's easier to say 'Pot ruined my youth' then to admit that you're mediocre and weren't going to accomplish much of anything anyways. People who are searching for an excuse to disconnect and stop caring will eventually find one.

Agreed. Pot actually increases productivity and creativity in those that are inclined to being that way. If you're a burn out chances are you have that disposition to some degree to begin with.
However, there is some science that points to weed creating potential issues with the developing brain. It might be best for younger folks to stay away until they're older.
