I know a lot of people who say they used to smoke pot but now that they're an "adult" they couldn't imagine getting high again. It's not the fact that it's illegal for them they just don't think they can handle it or something. Lol maybe I'm naive but I hope I never get that way.

Well as I pointed out above smoking pot is not a choice between preserving your cognitive abilities and getting high. Marijuana is one of the safest substances known to man -- safer even than water. You can more easily hurt yourself by consuming something "healthy" than you can with marijuana.
Again I'm not saying it's 100% healthy for you. Most drugs aren't as bad as people make them out to be though -- er at least most psychedelic drugs (dxm, salvia, shrooms, etc). Marijuana just happens to be one of the safest out of all of them -- caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco are all much higher on the "things that are bad for you list" than marijuana.

Only with pot, if you stay in the room or house long enough where it is being smoked, you'll get a contact. |
Contact highs are a little overrated. It can happen to a non-smoker but it's a lot harder (you have to actually try at it). Contact highs happen to people who regularly smoke pot -- if you have enough thc in your body before hand it's a lot easier to raise the thc levels in your blood high enough to get a buzz, but much much harder if you're a non-smoker.
