121. The argument is only partially correct...
Cannabis use is a choice compared to something like race, but one cannot logically argue that somebody who consumes cannabis on their own time lacks the competence or the moral fibre to do certain types of work. The night before I got the top mark in the class on my global political issues exam (1st year undergrad), I was getting stoned and playing cards. Naturally, the fact that I kept up with the readings, had perfect attendance, and participated consistently in class had far more bearing on my performance than whether or not I was cramming the night before the exam rather than doing my own thing.
