So do you think pot heads are slackers who work less and contribute less to economic output? More sick days, and medical leave? Less driven to perform?

Do you consider people who have a glass of wine with dinner slackers who work less and contribute less to economic output? More sick days and medical leave? Less driven to perform?
I have a friend, a medical doctor. He’s 62, he’ll be 63 next month. Apart from a few short (months) breaks, he’s smoked pot every day for as long as I’ve known him. More than 44 years. All through his college career, when he played D1 basketball. All through medical school. Almost every day since. He sold his practice recently. Outside of twice when he had surgery (for a torn rotator cuff, and a torn meniscus), he never missed a day of work because he was sick, since he bought his practice in 1989. Hasn’t need as much as an antibiotic since he was a kid. He’s 6’2″ and I don’t think he’s ever weighed more than 185.
So no, I don’t think that people who smoke pot are slackers. I think slackers are slackers.
