Many of those are drawn to Wall St since the rewards are vast and the effort is minimal. Of course, by the end of your standard stockbrokers life all they have really accomplished is increasing speculation and growth in a system that is largely responsible for the environmental state of our world. Leaving this planet that much more polluted and poorer and causing untold future suffering to furry things and kids as the piece de resistance.
I knew quite a few addicted to the US Military. Talk about the capability of messing up someones life. The ones who came back that is.
Wish they had been addicted to weed instead of money over nature, depleted uranium, fancy cars, macho stances, big guns, private jets, huge explosions, derivatives and torturing people.
But I digress. It's a big world out there and you can choose many ways to throw your life away. Out of the myriad, marijuana seems to be one of the least destructive outlets I have encountered in people with my limited experience. At the very least, you can count that your efforts were not directly responsible for massive amounts of misery in anyone's life but your own. That's a good thing.
