It really depends on the person.
For my mum she smokes it everyday she says it relaxes her when she is stressed.
I'm not saying it is good for her but if she thinks that smoking pot works for her I cannot stop her.
I believe that 1 minute you can smoke it and it makes you feel good.
Then one day it can turn on you in a very bad way like it did to me.

The first time I had a smoke of pot is when my mum asked me if I would like one.
I said ok so I tried one and I really liked it.
It made me feel so relaxed and on top of the world.
I liked it so much I ended up smoking it everyday I loved the feeling of being stoned.
Then one day I had a smoke then all of a sudden I started getting paranoid thinking that my boyfriend was cheating on me and that everyone hated me.
And I felt like the ugliest person in the world.
So I stopped smoking it was not hard for me to give up.
But the bad feelings still stay.
I got very depressed I did not want to hang out with friends and the thought that my boyfriend of 3 years was cheating on me took over I could not stop thinking about it.
I got angry with everyone I did not trust anyone I thought of the world as a bad place.
It got so out of hand that I ended up seeing a doctor and got diagnosed with depression.
So I took depression tablets for a year then I decided not to take depression tablets any more.
Because I believe that there are other ways to fight depression without drugs.
I am slowly getting over depression it is not as bad as it was.
I wish I never smoked pot because I believe that it was the cause of my depression even my doctor said that.
My mum had been smoking pot for 25 years now and she says she is ok on it.
I said to her learn off my experience you never know it might turn on you one day.
When my mum or other people are smoking in a room I have to leave the room because even a little sniff of pot will set off a bad anxiety.
So if you smoke pot please keep in mind that one-day it might turn on you.
You never know it if it does happen it is not a good feeling to have.
And just because you give up pot the feelings might still stay there like mine did.
Also I believe to never drive when stoned because you need to be able to be alert.
And if you are to relaxed it can not make you so alert and can cause I big crash
