I assume Paul still smokes it.  I remember reading, after McCartney
married Heather Mills, that she did not approve of the drug -- and that
he had promised to quit it.  My gut reaction was:  "That marriage is not
long for the world."

Some people can function on marijuana.  The Beatles exemplified this (it
was LSD and smack that took Lennon out).  Pete Townshend was a heavy
user of pot until 1969 or so, and he later stated that:  "The problem
with marijuana is that in te long-term it turns you into a softball."

Other people become literally insane on the stuff, and develop
schizophrenia-like symptoms; they believe in *nothing but* paranoid
delusions.  This applies to the Trump/Alt-Right-Q-Anon freaks who hang
out around the dispensaries in my area.
