The reason I think alot of people think their smarter high, is because their brains still process at the same speed, but they question those computations more precisely because their high.

1. IQ is your intelligence quotient which is the number of connections between neural transmiters in your mind.

2. If smoking marijuana makes you think about new things then you ARE FORMING NEW neural connections.

In laymens terms your iq is increasing.
