Pot Use and school? For better or worse?

[overgrowthegovt]

I graduated high school with a 4.0 and I was stoned basically all the time, including during class. The grades in university were almost as good....the hard drinking took its toll a little bit (I didn't really do that in high school).

My old high-school teachers/administrators were worse than nazi's. I went to school high almost every day but most of the teachers there knew I was high every day and did everything they could to harsh my mellow, but could never actually discipline me because I rarely brought ganja to school. My new school is really lax on that sort of thing though, the only thing they don't like is fighting, I was ripped out of my mind with and forgot I had a cigg sittin in my ear when I walked into 1st hour, teacher jus told me to put it away and didnt think nothing of it haha.

I remember walking to school sharing a joint with my best freind and sitting in class,I graduated with a 3.0 grade average. So I dont think it affected me that bad,plus I used to skip classes alot too, lol

When I am stoned I am a lot less motivated to do anything and a lot less likely to study or whatever. It depends on the person I suppose.
A friend of mine ALWAYS gets stoned whenever there are university exams. Not during the day but in the evening before important exams. He says it chills him out and improves his performance. This guy is pretty much a straight-A student.

In my past I've learned there is a line once you cross it and decide to get high instead of be at school, you're pretty much screwed after you start blowing it off.. It works for some kids to get high, go to class. Others never make it back on campus for some reason.. Lol. Definatly not going to mix weed with school in the future, I'll save it for after. This is coming from someone attending high school a few extra years.

Peace

I hear these kids who constantly made fun of me behind my back for getting stoned before going to class. I had the last laugh when we got the tests back and I had the best in the class. I told those dudes to their face they should get stoned before class and they would get a better grade. They were speechless they didn't say one word. It was awesome to put that in their faces!

Im a junior in college, a medical patient, double major, and I smoke multiple times a day. I have a straight A average and I see it as a form of activism. I really don't mean to 'rub it in' im just stating that by accomplishing this I help to abolish stereotypes.

It's been a while since my HS and tech school days but I never wanted to bring my buzz down by being in class. I did have a ride to tech school that would smoke me up and I couldn't get into the materials in class at all. I have taken (and given) lots of clasess, seminars and traing since and I'm a straight in class and prefer to save the buzz to relax after. For years drinking and or toking at lunch was routine. It always made the afternoon so long.... I was glad to get away from that. Even when I'm working at home I don't toke until my work is put away.

[NextLineIsMine]

Im going to say for the majority of people weed would adversely affect them when it comes to learning, at least if you smoked everyday.


However; my finest moment was getting ripped before Anatomy, I dont know why but it was the one class I was amazing at. We had a partners test and I got stuck with James, a judgmental anti-weed arrogant prick, he even told the teacher Mr. Hardie I was stoned, luckily Mr. Hardie absolutely loved me and ignored him, while he was ratting me out I was having a blast filling out the test at a million miles an hour, did I say im good at Anatomy? After arguing with the teacher for five minutes I came up and dropped the test on his desk while they were both still there. He graded it in front of the both of us and informed us it was a 100percent, I just grinned at James and left while everyone else was still working on their tests. Damn I was smug after that
