In my case, if I had dodged weed in my life, I would've likely been a smart Computer Science grad student employable right out of college. Perhaps I wouldn't have even needed college.

Well I smoked a ton of weed in high school and college - and while I did OK entering the labor force and getting hired for good jobs, the weed thing was definitely a set back.

If I learned programming in high school and/or college - instead of about 4 years after - I would have advanced any success I've had in life a great deal. So there's that.

But. I don't really regret it. Many fun years, great friendships, epic stories to remember. Then I got my shit together and pursued far more challenging things.

I'm still in college and I've already realized it was holding me back. I started in high school and had a good time but once school got serious I needed a clear head to get through it. I also found that being high is fun but it is also a huge waste of time. Same goes for alcohol in my opinion. There is time for both but spending every weekend drunk or stoned got old for me.
