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. And so will go over them again in their head. Basically your not smarter, your just less likely to make mistakes, if you think in this way, and double check yourself.

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.
crystalmage Reviewed by crystalmage on . Cannabis improves intelligence?? Hey Guys, I was trying to solve some number sequences and spatial awareness exercises because a have a test comming up for a job interview. I first tried the easy test and got 5 out of 8. Of course I got bored after a while and the obvious thing happened :jointsmile: After that I tried the medium test and got 12 out of 13. Seems to me I should smoke some more before I take the test :thumbsup: Rating: 5
