weed will NOT change your personality, which has been formed through years of social conditioning etc. your friend probably has a fetish for doing illegal things. the fact that weed is illegal just makes him want to do it more.

the same phenomenon occurs with underage drinking...once you're 21 and it's legal to drink, drinking loses some of its appeal (or all of its appeal, in some cases).
