I have an anxiety/panic disorder that becomes overwhelming in a classroom setting, so for me, smoking before class was simply my way to get through it. While completely sober in crowded/cramped social settings, I get irritable, which turns into nervousness, which sprials into a cloud of irrational fear. While stoned I can 'breathe'. The room feels bigger, I don't feel as pressured, and I can pinpoint my focus.

So MJ is sorta my ticket to success in school. But I suppose it all depends on how you react. I'm really excited to get out of this state and get my card...
