Cannabis and Intelligence

[Ifrit369]

marijuana has changed almost every6thing about me, and i strongly believe that every change about me is best. i am also a lot more laid back and observant.

Exactly the same thing I said. So I'm not just imagining it!

Weed just changes your prespective....And maybe this new perspective is what you need to learn something you couldn't before....

today i was working this puzzle that involved blocks of different shapes and sizes, like a 3-dimensional tetris. That is meant to test your spatial intelligence and creativity involving geometric shapes. And u were supposed to use all the blocks together to make all these shapes like a house or a perfect 3 by 3 cube out of those pieces. Each figure u can make usually takes about 5 minutes at the least to build. I was making them in 30 seconds flat after toking some strong sativa b4 math class.

dude weve done that shit too!

its called "pantominoes" right?

[Yr0c]

I think i've done those too...
And yeah, I think they're called pantomimes or something...

I could do them in like 45 secs without smoking anything...>_>

That's not what i was talking about...
the puzzle i did was called the Bedlam Cube or something like that.

The Bedlam cube - £9.99 : Mind Games, Where The Smart People Shop!

I wasn't just making cubes tho...i was making a house, a tomb, a castle, and a 5-person bench.

well....im going to school to become a teacher so I guess I disprove the theory that all stoners are brain dead. Ive always been intelligent and I love learning. Theres nothing I love more than getting high and watching the news or the history or discovery channel and just learning..and maybe having some cool talks with my friends. But if your stupid to begin with you'll still be stupid whether you have weed or not.

Smoking weed has changed me as a person in everyway..
Im so much more laid back and constantly trying to figure out the purpose of everything that happens
It does open a whole new section of the mind that is just not possible to enter if you dont smoke
Yeah me an my friends act really stupid when we are stoned but when im by myself or just not in that mood im deep in thaught about everything
I say its all good

I think it is best to smoke it when you have a better grip on life. Sometimes the opposite. Looking at how fucked the entire world was as a kid, weed was one thing that came down like an angel. A good puff puff and I was ready to live the life that was given and without that, who knows.

Over the years, I was smoking that schwag junk. I think it made me a bit stupid when I was a kid, but it did teach me many things and made me more aware of shit. Now that I have grown up, looking back. If I didn't smoke, I'd probably be smarter and have more of a "normal" life style. But then again, who knows? I've always been creative, but could the weed have advanced it? One day those ideas will save the planet! cough cough :hippy:

Today, I'm more intelligent and it doesn't make me feel any smarter/dumber. Well that depends...because we live in such corruption...we stoners have frosted our brains with nature/hippie/peace and love stuff that the GOV can't tax! And that's why it's illegal! We are smart, we will overcome, and nothing will stop us! WTF spider mites in HYDRO?! The end of the world is near... :stoned:

These same arguments are being made for the scientific uses of LSD and acid. If you think weed makes you think intelletcually, individual acid trips have changed entire person's lives. The trips can be truly motivational and inspirational. Some great minds have used this drug to enhance their performance and it is a little known fact that Watson of the famous Watson and Crick duo was tripping when he envisioned DNA in the shape of a double-helix one of the greatest scientific breakthroughs.

In my personal opinion cannabis allows you to put aside pre-concieved ideas of how things should be. It allows you to be imaginative and think outside the box. It seems the capability of logical thinking is also increased. The most convincing evidence for me is when I play guitar. I feel that my understanding of the material is greatly enhanced by cannabis consumption.
