Well you my friend are in luck. I get good grades and smoke out in my car during lunch lol (i have a van and a spoof to conceal it good but try not to copy me) I have been doing it for a year and a half now and i get 3.5 averages now(not saying it makes you do better in school) (FYI i take honors and AP classes)In my opinion just a normal day of school is ok to smoke, but if you know you’re gonna have to use your minds full potential, skip that day. Weed makes you slow down and you process information a bit slower and it really doesn’t help on homework or tests. Just as long as you know when to seperate weed from studying, you should be fine (also take notes like crazy if high, it’s really easy to forget things. If you have a recorder of some sort then that helps alot too). So if your already a smart person and plan on having a good future academically you will be a smart toker, but DON’T do it on a test day or when studying (can’t stress that enough) Your high is gonna last like 5 hours so work around it. And yes there are such things as smart tokers, If you have a good positive mental attitude i bet you could do crack and still get good grades (but dont do crack). Just because there are alot of stupid people who smoke pot, does not mean there’s no such thing as smart people who do it (i hate stereotypes), bill maher smokes pot and i think he is pretty smart. Just know when to limit yourself. (i do it every day but never, ever during a time when i need my brain) Don’t listen to those anti-weed ppl either, they don’t know anything about weed besides what the “man” wants them to hear (not saying weeds perfectly healthy though), i suggest going to erowid.org, it’s a site with alot of info on drugs and what they can do good, and bad. Good luck in school my friend. P.S. (i don’t know if your the type of person, but study 30 min-1hour everyday, seriously. If you think studying for that long is bad, you won’t make it in college where you study 6 hours everyday)

I graduated from high school last year and it was/is easy accessible. However, weed is not what you need to worry about. If you do your research, weed is not a bad thing. I smoke everyday. It helps me deal with anxiety/panic attacks (I was raped last semester and this is a side effect from PTSD), back pain, and neck pain. Also, I am not a low life bum. I am going on to get my degree in Audiology and Speech Pathology at a respected school while also maintaining a job. Weed is not bad for you. People just do not know their facts. Please do me the favor of doing the research and don’t just believe the first thing you read/hear. It’s fine if you don’t want to listen to me but as long as you are educated on the topic then you can make your opinion based on that The thing you really need to worry about is other substances. The ones that CAN hurt you. I am a small, innocent-looking, blonde girl. Many people who don’t know me think that I look too innocent to even know what goes on but I even knew where to get things. I have come across and been offered numerous types of drugs and have refused all of them. Not everyone does though so just look for strange behavior. I thought that I would just add in that I actually had a 4.0 last semester oddly enough… even after smoking multiple times a day.

I’d like to be honest with you, yes I did smoke weed in high school, and I also knew a lot of other people who did. Weed effects everyone differently. Some people will become completely unmotivated while it acts as a stimulant for others. It can act differently for you every time you smoke it so you never know how it will effect you. The odds are not in your favor to do well. I happened to be the only one in my group who got a 4.0 average and an IB diploma. The rest of my friends barely passed and are going to community college. It made me forget things, my performance started failing. It is not something to mess with and can severely harm your studies. I highly recommend you stay away from drugs and alcohol. It will only harm you in the long run, plus it makes gym extra hard because your lungs are crappy.

The answer is this: you will find it difficult if not impossible to get good grades and engage in the use of any illicit drug. I’m not saying it has never ever been done, I’m saying the odds are not in anyones favor. The bottom line is drug use leads to poor grades and other failures, personal and professional.

But of course I did! I still maintained a A-B average in all my classes. Just don’t smoke in the morning. Go to class, pay attention while you are there then reward yourself later in the day. Nothing to it but to do it!
