On the other hand i'm calmer, I appreciate things more, my music has gotten better and i'm more relaxed then I was. This is why I smoke and I accept the consequences of it. If any old kids could easily get hold of weed, they'd be doing it everyday like the world was gonna end. Cigarettes are legal because people want and will smoke them over and over and over, the government gets lots of money and noone is hurt that bad until they die of lung cancer or whatever, but everyone knows that's what happens when you inhale smoke into your lungs.

Anyone on this site who's smoked longer then 6 months can deny it's had any long term affect on them but they are deluding themselves. I love draw, but I know it's changed me more for the worse then it has for the better and that's why i'd rather it was illegal 'cause in the end, everyones better off without it, as they are alcohol and cigarettes.
you're tripping

"My memory is shit and my grades dropped in the past year, i'm slower, clumsier, more tired then usual, I constantly make dimwitted mistake"

Grade's aren't everything.. you've been told they are; you need good grades to get a good job, get a nice house, car, etc etc..

" i'm calmer, I appreciate things more, my music has gotten better and i'm more relaxed then I was."

to me, thats more important than grades, a career, and the persuit of little pieces of paper.. but hey, fair do's if thats how you see it
