Well, I started smoking after I graduated in HS and was in college. I was always a pretty sharp person. I used to speak in front of thousands of people. Got alot of AP credit and that sorta thing. My sister went to yale, and I didn't feel like she was a whole lot smarter than me.

Then I started smoking pot. I make more mistakes while doing things, whether it be talking (I couldn't do large public speaking anymore) or college work, programming. I was a whole lot slower and I can really notice it. Now that I have become a regular smoker for over a year, I have learned to function while high and any and all paranoia is gone. I feel great. I don't feel as though I did before pot, but hell, in my opinion Im still alot smarter than 1/2 the idiots on this rock, and thats good enough for me.
