    So, at this point in my life I have been going through many ordeals and mental stresses and the like. Days ago, one of my friends offered me some weed, said he could get some for free, etc., etc., not important to the story. I thought about it for about an hour or an hour and a half and I decided with him this - he would get it, and then we would see what we were going to do with it and how. Skipping the rest of that part, we smoked it the next day. It was the best day of my life and I still feel great. I have never done drugs in the past, and I am not experiencing any negative effects of it at the moment, nor have I since I smoked it. I had a headache at first, then. So, between my horrible emotional state right now, coping with depression and suicidal thoughts, it was a life saver. And now, in a couple days, school is in session again. My long-time stoner friend smokes year round. He gets straight A's, plays for a football team and he's also a blast to hang out with, not that it is really relevant. Anyway, I consider myself to be on the smarter side of the spectrum as far as my age group goes. I believe that I could counter-act any negative effects of the drug, even with long-term use. Filters would be used and as often as possible a vaporizer as well. So my question is this - if I smoked pot during the school year, would it actually drop my grades and affect academic performance? I put my mental and emotional state above marks in school, by the way. The school year has been a dreadful time for me every year, as well...So any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I want to continue to smoke it every two weeks or so, if not only monthly. Thank you for reading, again.

    It won't mess up your academic skill man you'll be fine

    As long as you're responsible and don't put weed in front of everything else you'll be fine

    Yeahh.. don't use filters.

    Other than that just smoke up, it won't negatively affect academia at all, besides maybe math

    Correction, it can, only if you let it though! As long as you don't look at weed like its the best thing since sliced bread(even though it is), and do everything in your capability to get high, you will be good. Just keep your grades up and don't let it interfere with your hopes and dreams(Unless its in a good way).

    Since you just smoked it, welcome to the club man!

    I knew people throughout highschool who could function fine, they would go and smoke weed at lunch all the time and still faired out good in school, but just keep it under control and dont let it get before other things.

    as long as you only smoke on weekends you wont get a tolerance and your academics unhindered. if you were to smoke everyday during school i feel as if it would have an effect on learning. lately ive been vaping everyday but when school starts only weekends mostly.

    Thanks guys! I've been looking through threads here and I feel a lot more comfortable with it, I felt like it might become possessive over other things but I can definitely keep it under control. I dropped cigs at a moments notice last year after going like a pack a day, that shit was horrible and i screw it, and then no more after that :D
    Really though, thanks, because this is definitely the place to be for a fun time. helped me out a lot. Thanks again guys.

    As long as you keep your head straight and goals in mind, you can burn everyday, i do and i'm on the dean's list

    Awesome, but I don't want to every day. I feel like I wouldn't appreciate being sober at all then. But nice job for being on the deans!:hello:

    I started smoking every day during grade 11 and it negatively affected my grades but only when I wasn't high if I have smoked recently, if I quit for a week or so I went back to normal and I would regain that motivation and the skills to do good in school. Weed has contributed many negative things into my life but the positives outweigh the negatives. I'd suggest smoking a little bit here or there to maintain as good academic performance as you can.

    that's how I was. I'd wake and bake, smoke at lunch, sometimes I'd skip a class...

    but I had good grades and did well on my act. it's all about discipline, and you'll be fine. don't get high as fuck and go to school until you know you can handle your shit though, because if you end up tweaking out you don't want to get flicked.

    and if you're going to skip class or go to class high, use your head about it. if there's material you know you need to learn don't skip the class.

    Tried getting high in school once, never again. It was 420 and I sketched out and thought everyone knew i was high as fuck. Lets just say I got nothing from that history class hahahaha!

    It totally can ruin your school career, but so can many other things if you let them. You can't smoke at school at all. I fucked up doing that last year. Don't do that. If you keep it to fridays/weekends and make sure to keep up to date on your homework before blazing then you'll be all good.
     
  15. #15 TheWayOfWater, Aug 27, 2012
    Yeah I wasn't gonna smoke during the school week at all

    Dude think of marijuana as a tool kit... Now one person may use that tool kit to fix and repair things. One person may of been building shit DIY without a tool kit and though he ended up doing okay the tool kit made things so much better and as a result they became better at building. Or another person may just be a cretin and not know what to do with the tool kit so they mess around with it and end up hurting themself. Dude it really does just depend on how you use it and whether you can handle it. But always remember... No tools in school... I mean maybe a little building before school but defo not during :D

    Fuck filters though!! Get a bong for maximum enjoyment from a small amount of weed.

    From personal experience, weed can actually raise your grades!

    In my case it actually made me more calm and studious to the point where I enjoy to smoke a quick J then run back inside and study my ass off, haha.

    But remember! If you study high af you've gotta test high af too! xD

    Can't get a piece for a bit, Rose. sharing an apartment with a buddy and he doesn't want me to bring any shit like that into the house except the basics - papers, weed. lol. I MIGHT be moving in with the guy who set me up in the first place though. Might..anyway, SmokeTrees, i've heard that too, that it calms some people down to the point where it improves their grades.
