Cannabis and Intelligence

[tokinstoner]

Weed has defiently made me more creative. I don't think its made me smarter. But weed doesn't make you dumb it justs slows you down.

I don't there's any correlation between intelligence and weed-smoking...

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.

That's awesome...

Though, I was aware that you get this extra intelligence and creativity while high.... my question is... if overall you improve in these fields...even when sober... and if this "stays for good" ... and not just a couple of weeks...

I find that cannabis has no negative effect on my intelligence.

i have found that since i have been tokin it up, i consider myself more of a "thinker". the guys that work for me always crack up cause i am all the time talkin about some deep crap that they dont even wanna think about much less talk.

I've only been smoking for maybe a month, and I do find that I am MUCH more intellectual than I was before. When I'm high, or when I'm not high. When I'm high of course I can 'act' high like you know that goofy "Holy shit dude I can't walk *insert uncontrollable laughter here*" I've had plenty of those. But when I am just going over the apex of my high, and begining to come down, I will have perhaps the deepest thoughts ever, I will get into the most intelligent conversations with my friends. Or, when I'm alone, I'll put on some pink floyd, lay down on my bed, close my eyes and just meditate, I swear, I've talked to god, and she has a very strange way of thinking.

And when I'm not high, like in school, I'm always the first to answer a problem given out to the class, weather it be Math, Engineering, World history, decoding a poem in English. (My literary side has MUCH improved over the course of these three weeks.) And, after toking everyday for about a month my grades have come up. I had b's and c's but now my b's are a's and my c's are b's.

I am very happy.

I believe a majority of psychedelic drugs can improve your intelligence. It lets us explore areas of our mind, that sober people can just not explore, imagine, or ever experience.

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.

all I have to say is that ever since smoking everyday, I have had all A's in every class this last semester...with no work at all!...maybe it is due to me being on adderall during school, but I've been taking that since third grade (now 11th) so it must be the ganja :rastasmoke:

Yeah dude, same thing here. Ever since I started smoking everyday I don't even have to pay attention in my classes to get A's. Like in Pre-Calculous, I just read through that class everyday, then when we have a test I read a couple pages in the book and I'm set. Also, I've had this ability to just some how figure shit out. I may have absolutely no idea what is going on in my chemistry class, but if I smoke the night before my chapter test, I'm able to just figure everything out on the test, it's amazing. This may sound stupid but as soon as I started smoking, I've been more outgoing and gained alot of friends and been invited to parties and shit which never used to happen. Honestly, I think the herb is bringing forth a great part of me that I was afraid to show the world. Since the day I started smoking, my life has improved dramatically and for that I thank the one and only mj.
