They criticize you for not smoking weed if you're broke, giving you hopeless dreams of riches and success if you smoke it, then castigate you when you go crazy and become destitute from it. The weed doesn't make you successful. You probably would have been successful without it anyway

When she ran away from me she was probably obeying some impulse of her own unruly nature. Now I come to think of it, her faults were those of a restive young animal rather of a human being.
