your friend was always that way, weed just made it more obvious to you. i use it now and again to manage pain from an old injury, and also because i live in the uk, i sometimes need an escape from this dystopian nightmare. it doesn't change you, anyone that smokes it and becomes an "insufferable dud weed lmao type stoner" was always like that in the first place...remember, many people suffer aphantasia and can't even conjure up an image of a fucking apple in their head.
