I've smoked weed for a little over a year and now that I'm jobless and looking here in California people are drug testing potential employees so I had to stop. I've noticed however that when you first smoke it you don't really achieve what others would call the high state. Its more of just a change of things, but afterward if you decide to smoke again you start to notice the difference that your body goes through. Weed is good, its good for you and its probably the safest body altering drug currently out there. Why its illegal is beyond me people need to experience it for themselves decide if they enjoy it good for them if they don't, don't ruin it for everyone else that enjoys it.
