Personally speaking from experience, I don't have a problem with pot but only up to a point.. A lot of my friends, and myself smoked it when we were younger, and it did not have a negative effect on any of us. It was very much part of the music/alternative scene and everyone I knew pretty much smoked it. We all went on to have good careers - one of my friends is a doctor and she got through all of her studies smoking, and the first few years of her job. She gave up when she had a daughter, and she was the last of us to give up smoking it. For me, I stopped after a few years because I did start to get lazy on it and I didn't like that in me. None of us went onto harder stuff, or developed anything really badly negative from smoking it, be it personality or mental issues.

But I really think it depends on the person. If a person has a addictive personality, and some issues then smoking can make things worse. One of my brothers smoked it, and it made his bad personality traits become far worse. It drove away a lot of people from him, and it can make someone paranoid if they smoke it too long like it did my brother.

I think you are your own best judge here. If you are happy to date the man for the time being, then carry on. If you think he has sound judgement, then that's good. But be prepared to perhaps later on down the line, see some things that you do not like so much as you get to know him better due to pot. For me, trust your gut all along the line, and do not ignore any warning signs later on if you see them. It's early days and he could be in his 'impressing you' stage.

Hugs.

Oh, and I have more of a problem with drinking than pot. I've seen much more ugly behaviour on that.
