Do you folks feel that it enhances your studies, or hurts your academic ability? Also I feel when I learn things with marijuana in my system, it is harder to remember when I'm sober such as calculus, but when I smoke, it comes back to me like a drunken recall type of thing.

If I smoked, I didn't do any school work. For me, pot and school work didn't mix well. I did complete several degrees.

Study high, take the test high, get high scores!


Honestly I did best in college when I made marijuana a reward for getting things done.

I couldn't function enough with the "let's do it high" mentality...

Smoked before every class. I have a Masters now.

I use weed to calm me down. They used to try to prescribe me tons of xanax but a heavy indica works way better without the side effects. If I wasn't high there was no way I could sit still through a 2 hour 40 min lecture class. ADD.

Get high first and it was like, "The Elizabethan era? Tell me more, that shit sounds trippy...":)

For me, weed was terrible if the class was one of the sciences, like calculus, economics or psychology.

For liberal arts subjects like creative writing or introduction to science fiction (still one of my favorites), getting high first was de rigueur, no bueno without it.

I smoked thru out and have a couple graduate degrees. However, my daughter is now in grad school, PhD hard science proggie, and she smokes like a steel mill, so far no problem. The shit mom and I smoked back in the day was crap compared to what the kid smokes, as soon as she gets up! She(kid) still performs well and has official accolades....so I'm just waiting before I drop the hammer

Click to expand...
its when youre placed in your field of study like a work place of it.
you got there for an entire year to study what its like to work int he field you work with clients under a supervisor ...

I picked the sexual abuse, pedophilia, and hardcore substance abuse users. so i have to to take drug tests for placement, but not when i get hired...lol

they do for certain jobs such as :
school bus drivers,
police
military ..
and if an accident occurs in a factory like a steel plantwhich is of human error
they dont technically do drug tests in my field but they do for placement students, especially since my specific placement is for hardcore addictions and substance abuse users, so it wouldnt be appropriate for them to have someone who is using drugs.
I can go without marijuana, im not going to sacrifice 30,000$ worth of education because i wanted to smoke weed. lol
gotta pick your battles some times :D
