Flip side, purely personal anecdote.

I arrived in London with nothing from post Soviet block country.

I was burned out within 6 months.

Then I started partying and one friend introduced me to Cannabis, I started doing it every weekend and made it a point to stay away from it during the week, so it doesn't affect my work in anyway

I managed do lot better, make better connection, climb the corporate ladder faster and make a lot of money

Now, I've my own startup

Not all my friends have been this lucky with their Cannabis use

What I believe is that Cannabis has potential to unlock some capabilities of your mind. Wether it unlocks positives or negatives depends entirely on the person and can't be generalized.
