    Yes, but there is a connection between cannabis and growing brain problems.
    While under the age of 18 your brain functions a lot more and can cause more damage.

    Fuck beat me to it :p

    And I actually feel like I remember things better when I'm high... When I study for a test things seem to stick easier. I can recall what I did when I was stoned with relative ease so studying actually becomes easier. Smoke a joint and study something that mildly interests me and I'm good.

    But if I smoke all day everyday my brain feels a little slow. But the next day I feel 100% fine. If/when I start to smoke again I will more than likely only do it on the weekends.

    Smoking weed is like being in a river with many fish coming your way and swimming by. There are just too many slippery fish and you can't grab them all. Sometimes you completely miss catching a fish or accidently let one go. -Joe Rogan

    It doesn't make you dumb. :rolleyes::bongin:

    Instead of making you "stupider" I think it just focuses your interests and needs.

    Example: I was feeling guilty for something that wasn't really my fault and I had an essay to do which I was procrastinating on. Smoked a bit and my anxiety left and I finished the essay (which I re-checked sober and only needed minor revisions). I realized the anxiety was silly and made me more productive.

    You see the same thing with creative people. Sure they might be .00005% less likely to cure cancer but it focuses them into a different creative headspace. Making them "stupider" is a typical stoner stereotype.

    My first break was bootcamp in the early`60's, no drug tests but hard to score when going through boot, and my next break was about a year ago and that was for a month.

    So yes, I do smoke everyday with very few breaks, 2, and far apart, 44 years.

    I also have a MMJ "card".

    Ive smoked for 7 years nonstop all day everyday, I dont blaze before or at work tho only when I get home

    And my memory is great I remember most shit even random stuff like conversations from a month ago or anything really

    Plus im a smart mofo Ive never had trouble understanding anything especially stoned...

    I think weed is great it might make some dumb people extra dumb cause there stoned out but its not making them dumber.

    In a way it makes you smarter... Not like book smart but more enlightened

    I cant imagine how I would think nowadays without it, cause in a way it opened my mind a little.

    You should continue living your life based on Yahoo Answers... I hear it gets you places.

    Sounds like you have ADHD. Not hating just making an observation. My son has it and his uncle does too. My son is only 13 but some day he may benifit from it. His uncle for sure has benifitted from smoking. He focuses better and gets less inpulsive. Meaning I don't have to back him in fights every time we go out.

    Stoned42, could you post a worthwhile thread? Every time I see any of your threads or posts I just think, wow this is either a really dumb 15 YO or a troll.

    Yahoo answers is a joke.. in terms of getting credible information on cannabis or any drug you can imagine, stick to erowid. And if the information you are looking for isn't on there, the fine folks on this forum and various others usually can fill you in. I swear, half the people on yahoo answers are 15 years old.. the other half are cops.

    If you are a stupid person you are going to be stupid, whether you smoke bud or not.

    Fuck, just look at Granny's list! Pretty much all her sources are by credible sites/people/researchers.

    Your first mistake was taking anything you heard on Y! Answers as credible.

    I don't need to focus on smoking when i smoke, I just do it. back when I was was still in high school I could study in my textbook and take a hit at the same time :smoke:
