It still is. The strength is counteracted by the fact that you use
less of it. Pot isn't a drug you hit hard, but just have the right
amount, otherwise all you are doing is making yourself vaguer for the
next few days. Of course young folks will overdo it, but they aren't
likely to get into trouble, as booze will assuredly do.

I smoked it daily for a couple of years whilst holding down a decent
job. The only real problem with it is that it destroys your short term
memory.
Now I find the effects to be a bit unpleasant, which must mean I'm
getting old! Yay! :o)
