Wasted time is a weak argument at best. Stress relief trumps wasted time and memory loss any day of the week.
So what exactly is "wasted time"? Some of the best memories in my life came from when my best friend and I smoked a bowl and played playstation all day, laughing and having a great time.

(don't try that at home kids, I am a trained professional)

Let's make video-games illegal...

When I was 15, I wasted alot of time, ate alot Dorito's... all due to video-games....

Thus far there hasn't been any conclusive scientific evidence to suggest long-term memory loss and marijuana are associated. But honestly who cares?

I think the debates over... Pot will become legal in the next 5-10 and mabye sooner. It's not something that deserves passionate political debate in the spotlight... lets start talking about crime and poverty before we go all ape-shit over something pretty insignificant.
