I can't recall what I was like before I started smoking marijuana. When I starting toking I also starting doing other illicit drugs, which definitely tweaked my mind. It's hard to say though. Perhaps I'm just dealing with a mental disorder that was passed through my family? I can't put anything off on the drugs I took. They're taken care of with time.

Whether or not it's made me a better person will go unanswered. Reason being...I don't have an answer. You have to be responsible with any drug. And you have to remember to think before you act. Although you may feel that because you don't have a problem with anyone, it doesn't guarantee noone has a problem with you and what you do. Especially at work. Keep your cool, man.

And no, I hardly ever think of the consequences of my actions, hell, I hardly ever think before I act (hypocrite), but I also don't worry about marijuana. Hell, I walk around shopping malls, smoking joints in public without a care in the World. If an officer would approach me I'd eat it quickly...joints aren't that bad. THINK! THINK! THINK!

"Don't worry, be happy"

I couldn't give you any suggestions on slowing down your habit, but being broke seems to help a lot, if you're trying to cutback. lol. I was the same way when I had a job. As soon as I got my check--straight to the dope man! I'd buy an eighth, smoke it in a few days, and back to the dope man! It's a draining cycle...money draining that is. I was happy though...I was high.
