I pulled a 3.7 and I smoked three out of the four years I was in high school, with very heavy use the last two. I got drunk 3-4 times a week during that time too, held a job, had a girlfriend, and managed to get a 3.9 for my senior year. So yeah, I guess pot makes people smart. K thanks bye. Damn Skeptic. Oh yeah, and my classes were more difficult because it was a private school and the grading scale was harder (70%= F). On top of that, I missed out on scholarships because I wasn't even in the top 10 of my class of 59. I was like 22nd, if I remember right. I posted it on here. Don't even judge, foo.

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.

Well, I was going with the reverse to his theory of pot making people stupider/irresponsible. I do have some times where my short term memory doesn't spark up, but most of that stuff is insignificant. I choose to memorize school homework, key words, and people. That way I can best do school and interact with people while using the key words as a grab bag of subjects to go off on.

Absolutely. There can also be some latent hostility toward life that surfaces, but that fades away after a bit. I'm sure I'd have learned more from my undergrad years if I hadn't been stoned as much.

Oh, and HoH...don't underestimate the level of quality your professors are looking for. It is certainly NOT like high school. I wouldn't recommend comparing them (unless you're at a community college).

I had to do papers most of my senior year, along with well-done projects for stingyass teachers. Do remember that my high school was more challenging than most. I'm more than prepared to do the 'extra' work to touch it up, if there is any. Hell, just having 5 classes and a lab that don't meet everyday is heaven.

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.

School is quite easy for me, by the way.

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.
