Marijuana not a bad thing!

Alot of my friends smoke ( i do too) but they all blame there problems on it.
It makes me so mad, Then they all are like "im going to quit because im not doing good in school or schools about to start" i smoke alot of pot and i get A's in school i mean i act how i want to act on weed or off it! i try to tell them its not a bad thing if it was legal would you be acting like this? its so stupid.

is it me or are they blaming there problems on weed?

Love,
The benjamin

 

Well i smoked alot of pot in school and failed at it. I do blame alot of the problems i had in school was because of weed, Id say its mainly because of u just get to fucked to work in school when u are stoned. Well that's what happend with me im sure i could have tryed harder but now i dont give a shit i failed at school 16yrs old and make $720 a week i have a car n pay no bills.

 

Yeah those people are stupid. I have had at least a 3.0 for a while and if I fuck up, I fuck up, I'm not gonna blame the weed. Thats ridiculous.

 

When I started smoking weed my grades stayed the same and a few went up but last year I slacked off a lot, so I decided this year I'm going to try to do better and not smoke until I get all my homework and stuff done. I can't blame anything on weed if anything its helped.

 

I dont blame my bad grades on weed, but i blame myself for letting weed help contribute in my bad grades.

 

People as a species love scapegoats. Humans are naturally perfect and our only faults are things around us (In our minds) We're just too damn good to fuck up.

 

Weed does tend to be the scapegoat when people wanna be lazy.

I still do alright in school, and I smoke everyday, sometimes bofore school or during my lunch. You just gotta put in a little bit more effort if you're one of those people that just wants to relax when you're baked.

 

It's reasonable to smoke and be productive, you just need to put shit before getting high. Or do what I did, and make a rewards system for yourself. I let myself smoke a bowl after a shift at work or after I finish reading a few chapters or doing some schoolwork.

If it was legal then we'd have to adapt to having pot in the volumes that we would. It would be like alcohol in a way, in that you don't drink if you have to do some shit later.

 

In grade 9 and 10 i did well, i got 70's a few 60's and the odd 80. But in the summer before grade 11 i started to smoke pot every day. Id wake up get stoned, get stoned at lunch, skip get stoned, after school get baked and usually more at night.

I did good the first semester but 2nd i failed 2 classes. Then in grade 12 i sowed down did alright until i had some reason to back to weed everyday then i failed all my classes and failed 2 the snd semester. so now i have to go back. I'm pretty sure thats a big coincidence if you cant blame it on the weed

 

I smoked every single day that i was in school. I didnt always go to school high but right after school i would smoke with my friends and i failed. But i realize that it wasnt the weed that was making me do bad in school it was my friends because all they wanted to do is smoke instead of doing homework and 45% of our grade at my school is on homework. Im not blaming weed or anybody for my problems because i did it to myself. Weed actually helped me out a little in school because it made me concentrate more but i only wanted to smoke weed and not do any school work so i failed. I dont think your friends are wrong for qutting because they know that if they smoke they wont do good in school and every person is different when it comes to weed and school, some people get all A's and B's and some either fail or get C's and D's.

 

i think the posters main point is, is that the problems people claim are caused by weed are not weed-related, but have much mroe to do with the weed consumer himself. Its very motivation-related....if you are naturally one who has lots of motivation and dont need your mom to yell at you for you to do your homework, then you probably wont have problems being a heavy smoker, even in the schoolyear.
however, if you have no motivation, then when you get stoned, youll shut off the world and not feel like doing anything, exerting energy/effort in any way will seem like a pain in the ass to you....guess what this is called? LAZINESS! so yeah, these types of peopel are the ones who then probably smoke and fail.

 

I think pot can easily get in the way of things like school. Sure if you have the will power you can not let it affect you but for most people who smoke it really messes with there motivation more than anything. It's good to relax but can really hurt your plans.

 

The thing is, the people who are smoking weed and doing bad in school, have done it to themselves. If weed is effecting them in a negative way, then they can quit or more than likely, just stop being lazy. They're just saying people shouldn't use weed as a scapegoat, when it's their fault.

 

It's not weed's fault, it's the fault of the individual. While weed, imo, can cause you to do poorly in school, it is only a result of you using it at the wrong times/too often.

When I first started smoking, I was doing it nearly everyday (for around 2 months, although I never smoked before school, and never instead of doing work). Now my grades stayed the same, however I found it somewhat harder to pay attention in school, and I was always tired. It may have had a slight effect on my will to do things, but it wasn't significant.

Now, I only smoke on the weekends (during the school year), and I have no problems. Infact, so far this year I have about 4 A's, this could be my best year yet. I'm usually a B student.

The key is responsible and moderate use.

 

lol, i ENJOY doing homework when Im high, I used to get 1.0s before I smoked now Im getting in the 3.0s because I would come home at like 6 or 7 hella stoned and eat dinner then do homework and spend the rest of the night on the comp then go to sleep.

 

I rewarded myself with weed when I was in school when I did good.

 

A lot of my friends are stopping because they are dumb and keep getting caught.

 

Legality shouldn't be an issue at all. If a person gets psyched because it's illegal, that's like feeling giddy from stealing something, kind of takes away the purpose of feeling free willed about it. It's good that you just want to be free willed and not blame your lifes shortcomings on bud. Alot of people are stupid and/or losers whether or not they smoke, they will always blame something.

 

idc what anybody says lol, if u smoke pot everyday or close to it, itll slow ur thinkin down (in other words it will some what dumb u down) and make u lazier, IT DOES!! IT DOES!! IT DOES!!...no arguments, im not blaming weed for my problems, but im not defending it when it really is the cause..

i used to smoke 4-5 times a week, and i got realllly "stoner-like" hahaha like real mellow and slow thinkin, and now i took a break for a week and ive been takin vitamins (b6), and eating healthy and i could really really feel the difference and i think a lot clearer! a lottt clearer!

but i fuckin love weed, and im plannin on taking a break till my bday which is about a month away...and then ill just smoke on the weekends.. or every other weekend. i find it better that way.

becasue u dont get that high anyways when u smoke everyday lol and it gets fustrating after a while, ull b like "fuck! i wish i could get high like i used to where im like stoned outta my mind amazed by everything and cant stop laughfing after only 5 hits"

but foreal i recommend everyone to take a break for a while, ull b suprised how u feel, how different it is, and its someonewhat enlighting, and feels nice

point being....weed and school dont go well together at all, even if u smoke a lot and ur used to it, it doesnt go well together and you would do wayyyy better if u werent high....but if ur maintaining an A or your doing good enough to allow urself to get stoned every once in a while, why not?! fuck it

 

theres a time and place for weed
and i dont see the point in wasting it during school
wait till after to smoke and if you have the slightest control over yourself you should be able to stay focused in school
im not very smart at all and i still pulled off over a 75% average
moderation is key
