Are there any ways to smoke weed and lead a normal life?

Depends: Some weed users are highly productive and are able to focus on the job at hand, others famously not so.. I believe that marijuana has the remarkable abilitiy to destroy potential by substituting instant gratification in the form of intoxication. .But, cheech and chong would say that they have normal even great lives, this is a personal sort of thing, hard to answer for you.
