Weed gave me a lot of problems. When I managed to stop smoking for a few month (it took me a year of wanting to stop, until I made it, which is depressing in the first place) I realized what I had missed out. All the pain you're trying to smoke away will come back up and you won't know that it's the pain you hid, so you smoke more to hide it again. And at that point I was smoking a few grams a day, which costed me about 500€ per month. As a student. But when thinking about stopping, you'll always tell yourself "it's just weed, you can stop when you want to, but I don't want to stop right now" and goes on for years and years, and those years go by so fast, in which you could've done/experienced much, but you only sit on the couch from morning to evening. It really doesn't damage your body much, but the rest of your life. I could talk about what weed did to my life for a few hours, but all in all it is a drug. Many people handle it good, smoking only on special occasions but many people smoke to feel okay again and thats where it gets complicated.

But I guess I'm wrong and I should start smoking my life away again, since everyone seems to dislike this opinion.
