the all sides point of view:


Cannabis consumption causes market focus effects, being that whichever mental process is prevalent in the mind becomes pronounced and exaggerated.


Therefore, if the user is in a shitty mood, but thinking smoking will calm them down, they will become calmed down.

whereas the person in a shitty mood who doesnt think anything will help, the cannabis will only instigate their negative mood.




Stupid people become stupider, largely because they are stupid enough to believe that cannabis makes them stupid, so they use that excuse to act stupider.


smart people who think it makes you stupid experience the same effects of reduced intelligence.


Those who believe cannabis makes them more aware, wittier, and healthier, generally display these effects.




When i get high, it is usually so that i can sleep. but when i play videogames, i play better than when im stone sober.

The only explanation i have formed is that cannabis amplifies the active mindset of the user.


If your active mindset is academic excellence, then getting stoned will boost your ability to excel in academics.
