It depends on the person, the work you have to do and your discipline. I smoked a lot through university and managed to get a very good grade. My course, computer science, is was very maths based and during those parts being stoned was definately a bad idea. However during some of the more creative parts it was genuinely helpfull. I think being stoned goes better on the arts based courses as a rule. But this of course will depend on your mind.

That said as a word of warning many of my smoker friends made a complete mess of university from getting stoned all day and not working. Certainly here in the UK there is no way of telling if someone even went to lectures so it was far to easy for them to spend all their time smoking and no time working. This ended in them getting lower grades than they were capable of, repeating years, resitting exams and in a few cases dropping out.

That said if you don't abuse it and genuinely want to be studying then it can be fine or even helpfull.
lebski88 Reviewed by lebski88 on . Cannabis and academics. I wouldn't doubt there's some here that claim cannabis actually helps with academics, but I'm looking for all sides of the argument. I'm mainly concerned with information retention. Anyone here a frequent user, and not had perceivable troubles regarding the herb and ability to accel in schoolwork, studying, etc...? Rating: 5
