So I guess you need to define 'functional' for me.

And I am not too impressed with your posts so far... you DO come off sounding like a troll... I hope you mellow out a bit.
I completely agree. Habitual marijuana usage and alcoholism can not be compared. That's like car shopping and comparing a Bently Continental GT to a Hynduai Elantra. I have alcoholics in my family and I've been around a lot of pot heads. Alcoholics hurt themselves and others... I've never seen or heard of someone being hurt or hurting other strictly from cannabis consumption.

I believe the functionality of a person has nothing to do with smoking dope rather than the person's own make-up. If you were lazy before you were a stoner, chances are you'll be twice as lazy while smoking. :twocents:
