College is Hard

Pot does not make people smart. I can confirm this. I seriously felt a hit to my cognative abilities after smoking pot for a while.

True dat. I feel like pot has definitely dumbed me down. I was a fuckin genius back in high school, now... not so much. I'm sure once I go back to college (next semester, woohoo) it'll all come back to me, though.

I haven't smoked pot in a long while now and I still feel like it took something away. I have a slightly harder time putting my thoughts down in an intelligible way now than I did back then. I guess the main thing is I don't feel like I communicate as eloquently now and my memory is somewhat lacking.

Really? That hasn't happened for me.

You can't lose what you didn't have in the first place.

School is quite easy for me, by the way.

Grades are hardly everything, HoH.

I got horrible grades in High School, I wouldn't call myself dumb because of that. I lacked motivation and didn't do my work.

Perhaps pot motivates you, makes you want to get work done. It does that to some people.

Maybe it does. I wasn't going for the grade thing, either. It's just that I understand most of everything I was taught, and remember it well too. I have several friends who did terrible at high school and are still quite smart.

I was A honor roll all the way up until 10th grade when I tried it a couple of times, even after the short amount of time that I did it I felt as if my comprehension went down the drain for basically anything that I read, very odd side effects possibly?

That's odd. My comprehension and writing skills increased vastly from 10th grade, which is when I started smoking. Stats show my grades went up.

Neg. There's no way you were affected after only a couple times of using.

My friends are motivated by drinking, so they get through school so that they can drink. If they get bad grades then they cant go out, so it motivates them to do well. i cant wait to see what it does to thier livers 10 years from now.

I can tell my cognitive skills are suffering merely from aging, I don't think nearly as clear as I did about 6-7 years ago.

Also, school isn't difficult. Grades reflect nothing more than work ethic, as teachers giving honest grades would upset most parents to no end.

It's too bad that we no longer live in an age where people go to school simply to better themselves, rather they go to school to get a good job.

How I would love to live in those days. I want so badly to get a masters or even a Ph.D in Philosophy, but I know that neither is a very practical thing to do, so I'm undecided whether or not I will.

Tinme management is hard. I'm putting in 60 hours of extra cocklickulars on top of classes and such. Any free time I have I just want to chill out instead of study/do homework.

I love learning, I'd still be going to College.
