Cutting Down for School

I think all teachers like that were stoners back in their day or are just extremely cool.

 

i smoked my entire junior and senior year. both years i did well sometimes and badly other times...my gpa those two years went anywhere from a 3.8 to a 2.8...my grades were pretty constant before i started smoking, i generally had around a B average. my junior year is when i started smoking a lot, during school as well...and my grades were all over. so i'm not really sure what smoking did to my grades, cause they were so good one quarter and shitty the next. when i got bad grades i think it was because i just didn't give a shit. as for being high in school...that was the only thing that got me through the day, especially senior year. i mean we had two free periods in a row before anatomy, and we'd just blaze bowl after bowl and then go to class absolutely ripped. it was a ton of fun. there were a few teachers who knew i was high a lot, they never said anything about it, but i knew they were cool with it so i was relatively blatant about it. i liked to purposely make ridiculous comments to certain teachers so they'd know what was up. it's not like i was tryin to hide it though...i looked like a typical stoner, and when i was high my eyes usually gave me away, or i smelled like pot. i guess it all depends on what kind of person you are...as long as you have a decent work ethic and a good amount of self control, you won't lose your motivation. i love to get high, fucking love it, but i've always known that if i try enough, i can get high all i want but still get pretty good grades.

 

You dont have to get smashed before schol but a couple hits never did anyone harm, wont last the whole day though. I use to do that from time to time, made it easier to concentrate and not have to worry about the typical school drama. Just made everything mellow.

 

oh! I was just going to post a similar question. Id on't know what I am going to do because there are pros aand cons of both. If I don't smoke I become anxious and don't do well, if I do smoke my mind is blury and not as focused. Sometimes I do better when smoking depending on the class.

 

I smoked on the way to school at least once a week during my senior year and I still had a 4.0. The only time smoking had a negative effect on my grades was when I would do it after school and fall asleep without getting anything done.

 

Melatonin supplements. You can't reach REM stage of sleep when you deplete your melatonin by smoking. And, coincidentally, REM sleep is where short-term memory is transfered into long-term memory. So, you'll just eventually lose what's in your short-term if it doesn't get tranfered eventually.

 

How about just cutting down . You and I both know there are other means to entertain . You might be suprised how taking care of your body, drinking enough water, and 'right' foods yada yada can effect sober life. If you are half-ass reading this or are somewhat thinking of disregarding these words as blah-blah nonsense, wake up. Smoking everyday all week and thus binding your identity to the activity is outright pathetic.


I've seen too many kids get burned out too young, choose life, and don't forget , your clock is ticking, do you just want to sit around baked? or do and experience independent from chemical chooseable influence?
I appreciate a bood buzz as do most the posters here, but it is not my life, just a perk, I don't mean to harp, just advice


life and love

 

Hey man this is interesting stuff, wen i get baked befor going to sleep i find i forgot much more then if i went to bed after i'd sobered up. Also i rarely remember my dreams at all going to bed baked. Wat is the REM stage of sleep?
Are you saying that if i take melatonin, it could help me remember more?

 

I don't know about that melatonin thing. I smoke almost every night (not quite though) and I am currently reading a book, while high, before bed, and I can't recall any time reading a book sober where I have so vividly remembered details and plot lines than this one. So maybe that is true but possibly not in all cases. By the way, when I stop reading for the night I am usually on my way down...maybe that has something to do with it.

 

if you want to smoke on the weekdays do it after school. and get some adderall (spelling?). it really helps. just dont get hooked. only use it when you have to cram for a test or something.

 

You should never really have to resort to using a cocktail of drugs to keep you working the way you want. This can lead to A LOT of mental problems. And sever addiction to drugs as a whole to keep you mentally and / or physically active in society. Try to just cut down or smoke less then normal after school and mabey just smoke ur normal on weekends. This should keep u reasonably balanced.

 

Smoking in school is a pretty funny thing if you do it once in a while before a lesson where you can afford it.I did it very often and sometimes it is very stressfull.Especially when you're attending a deadly boring lesson such as maths.Everything distracts you! You just sit there among all these beatiful girls ,want to go out in the sunshine or talk with anybody,but you can't.That always pissed me off.

 

i have the same problem. with it being summer, i smoke basically everyday. and i'm worried about going back to school, because the last month of school last year was a complete month of being wasted. my concentration was awful, the only thing i could do was listen to music and draw trippy pictures. so i'm also trying to cut down a little bit, i think that its a good idea to do that. not completely, just somewhat. it depends on what you are like, and what your classes are like. i know that there are some classes that are better for me to take sober, so just go with your own flow.

yea i cut my self down for school. but id do it slowly... like down to 3 times a week and weekends down to 2 and so on till its only on friday and sat nights

 

hmm i started at the beggining of 8th grade 3-4 times a weeks i was high and i slept in all my classes excpet math and had A's in all of them cept math couse thats just hard but idk if i will do that in high school

 

I've never personally tried it. If I'm bored in class, I use my iPhone and read stuff online. If I need to stay awake, whether it be due to little sleep the previous night or an exam, I use Provigil, the best pill on earth.

I can think of a circle of kids who either come to school stoned or smoke a joint in either the bathroom or locker room, though I've never had classes with them (damn honours courses).

 

I never smoked in school. I was afraid to do so at the time and I did not hang out with the kids that did. I was brainwashed that drugs were bad. I am however still glad that I did not. I think I would be a different person right now if I had smoked back then. I do wish that I had tried it earlier in my life but in your case, I would say, you have the rest of your life to smoke weed. Take the time to keep off of it while you need all of your mind. Some people can skate through school and some can not. I had friends who would go to school all day, play sports in the afternoon and then study until they went to bed. They might take a day off on the weekend. Then I had other friends who never studied and still got an A. I guess it depends on who you really are. If you can do it great, if not then don't. Good luck and happy hunting.

 

You don't need to cut back at all for school, well at least i didn't, it depends on the person.

 

you should carry a pound on you at all time's..

 

Agreeded ^^ Alway useful when you wanna smoke up some of yours close buds at lunch time
