How many of us on this forum have a good job?
Who here smokes weed but still leads a successful life?
Married? Kids?
Just wondering.
Because im sure theres alot of us who smoke weed and lead perfectly normal lives and make a decent living.

Am I right, or am I right?

everyone's definition of "success" varies. I'm "happy" if not "successful". I don't have an awesome job, but it pays the bills and still gives me some money to play with. I'm VERY happily married, and have a roof over my head. I have what I need to be happy in life, so, in that respect, I'm "successful". No, I don't have thousands or millions to toss around as I see fit, but is that REALLY what success should be about? I'm rather be poor and happy, than rich and miserable. AS the song says "Mo money, mo problems". I make a decently comfortable living, and would be hard pressed to trade places with just about anyone. I'm more than content with my current situation. I get to spend all kinds of time with my wife, as we work identical hours with identical days off, and in the end, thats whats truely important to me. While many wouldn't see me as "successful" in the typical, financial, sense, I'm a success in my eyes because I've overcome many issues to obttain the happiness I have today.

I don't like defining successful in such limited terms. Successful=Happy in my book, and I'm plenty happy

Well I know that I am a very very hard worker. I have done tile work for 3 years, and helped my dad landscape in my teens. I works at braums and do tilework on the side to make a lil extra cash. This is temporary. When I move back to texas I am going to do what I am certified for which is a mobile electronics technician. This may be average money for me at the time, I will also work for contracters over the weakend for a few hundred. While I do this I will save money and I have a few different plans on making my money work for me. Hell I may do all my plans. I am only 18 and been through alot for being 18. But I feel that there is many many many oportunities out there. But it takes the will to go get it. Some poeple like to go get money, and some people are comfortable with a job that pays decent. I dont feel that either is wrong, but I want to be self employed one day. But Ill tell you what though, it starts from the bottem. It is going to be years before I save up the money to do so.

Just a little F.Y.I

When I say successful I bascially mean that y'all have good lives, and you're happy with them. You aren't poor, or criminals, and such.
Point being that smoking weed doesnt define us as being a bad person, or that we lead an ''unsuccessfull'' life, that we can't get jobs. In fact, most of us are just regular ol' people, with 'normal' lives.

And for those of you who may not lead the life you wish you had, that are poor, or those of you who are criminals, I guess I could say "I'm sorry". I don't saying that im sorry just because it seems like im a tad arrogant. But I wish the best for all of you. And personally, I dont lead the life I wish I had either(so far because im only 16). My parents can just barely afford to pay the bills and get food on the table but I'm happy with what I have for the most part. But I lead a perfectly normal life, im not a bad kid or anything, and most of us MJ users aren't bad people at all.

I flew a doctor's $2.1m aircraft for 2 years, moving to Alaska now though and back to the tough grind as I'm sure I won't find another boss so quickly accepting of his pilot smoking. Never really saw myself flying for a career anyways, there is always bush flying... cargo runs between Alaskan villages, hmmmm...

I'm sort of a web geek... have an amazing... amazingly hot girlfriend who keeps me happier than I've ever been... My life has been getting even better since I started using marijuana medicinally and got off all my anxiety-attack-triggering meds.

As for job... I am a senior-level web architect at a record label in Hollywood.

I'm still a fulltime student and look to become a lawyer down the road.

Some say I'm successful, but I think it's usually just them getting caught up in my age (22). In reality, I won't consider myself a success until I am relaxing on the front-sand of a beach house (or hut ). Dream keeps me going =P.

I am an 18-year old that jsut graduated high school and is college bound in August. I have been such an incredible saver with my money in the past so the fact that I do not have a summer job means nothing to me. So, I get all the free-time I want to smoke, chill with friends, hang with the ladies, and do pretty much anything I can think of. Of course I am happy

Bankrupt On Selling

Im not successful Im 17 i dropped at of high school to babysit my brothers and sisters then got a full time job at Mc Donalds with a high school diploma i got online from some diploma mill. Im happy with my life besides Mc Donalds since im the only one who can really speak english, whenever they want something they just point and yell lol. Ill probly have some crapy job and apartment when im older but it doesnt really bother me since im enjoying life.

imFADED

Don't sell yourself short. If the crappy apartment is what you want in the future then by all means, get it. But we can all achieve greatness. We are not weighed down by our past, that is why there is a future. It allows us to make up for mistakes and broaden our horizons. The future allows us to improve on different aspects of our daily life and all in all, your life is what you make it.
