Marijuana affecting my academics..

Last semester while living on campus in university I used to smoke a lot of pot with my friends.. copious amounts.. and it really affected my studying. While studying I would forget things really quickly, my short-term memory would fuck up. But I see a lot of my friends (who have been smoking pot a lot longer than I have) deal with the situation well.. they say that if you study in a certain state of mind and go write an exam in the same state of mind (read:high) you won't have a problem. Is this true? I don't smoke as much pot anymore (can't afford as much anymore) but I still want to know your opinions on this..

 

Do what YOU think is right. If you need to stop tokin', stop tokin... If you wanna blaze, blaze on!

I'll tell you ONE thing though..... my junior year of high school I took my ACTs high as motha fucking hell, like really really really really really high.... I did a BUNCH of hashy hot knifes, ripped a few dozen bongs... jays... the works... and I got a 28. Not too damn bad for a stoner chick, if I do say so myself!

 

True.. well I'm not going to stop smoking.. I used to smoke ridiculous quantities back then but I don't anymore and I've been fine.. was just wondering about the theory regarding state of mind

 

Well, I was high as fucking shit when I took my GED tests and I scored in the top 10% of all Georgia graduates. Different tokes for different folks, I guess.

 

I find myself to be more pensive when I'm stoned. I analyse things that never get the attention that most things get. I think more deeply. When I go to college I'm gunna be tokin like a biyotch

 

i think it works, just slightly though, like gettin high but not stttoonneeddd

 

i can never work if im high....i just get bored and start off on a completely different topic...

 

Most of the days last semester I smoked before college algebra. At first, I was afraid to, but I could still understand it, pay attention and get shit done. We had one of our tests on 4/20. So naturally, I was high for it. I learned the shit high, I mainly did the homework high, I took the test high. Thought I did amazing. Got a 59. So it comes and goes. It depends on what it is and how high you are.

 

I dont know about colledge...but im about to start 11th grade...and i have less then 2 credits....probably because i used to ditch school to go get stoned...or id get stoned plannig on going to school and be like...." fuck it....im not gunna do anyhtign even if i do go ".....its all good that..that was my choice to go to school or not...not the buds...lol

 

Hah... that sounds all too familar to me....

 

Hahaha I did about the same thing. So we got done with school on a friday, and I forgot the ACT was that saterday. So around 2:00 a.m. my mom calls me pissed as hell. So I run home (more like a drunken stumble) and try to sleep.

Well it turns out I was way more high and drunk than I thought, cause at 7:00 when my alarm went off, I was still smashed. So I get my mom to drivce me to the school (I figured I could have still gotten a DWI in the morning) and end up getting a 29 on that damn test! I was so pumped!

 

I just graduated high school and I am completely against all steriotypes of drug users. I smoked weed a large chunk of my senior year and I was the valedictorian. Half of my friends took exams high. I hate that steriotype that only slackers smoke weed. Drugs affect different people differently, but don't blame it on the drug if you aren't sure that that is the cause.

 

Yeah, I'm the same way.

But my friends are like that, man. Well, of of them. If she studies and shit when she's high and then gets high before a test, she'll ace it. But if not, then she doesn't. I don't know, man. Like they said - different tokes for different folks.

 

the method i used for calc 2 this past semester was going to class sober, then studying(very little) super high, then how i took the exam didn't matter, ended up with a 102 in the class
