People tend to assume if you use any substance recreationally like alcohol or weed, it must be symptomatic of a deeper problem and you're using it to avoid your real problems. Or it must be helping to cause all your problems...
My personal experience contradicts this because I have smoked for many years now and there have been good times and bad times for me emotionally. And they were never affected by my use, which has stayed at pretty much a consistant level during that time.
