Some of my closest friends are big time time stoners and a small portion of them are EXTREMLY successful in just about everything; is marijuana have anything to do with this?
College honors student, and I smoke weed at least twice a day! Weed isn't an excuse for stupidity or irresponsibility, the occasional brain fart, yes, but a downright stupid stoner was probably stupid before weed too.
The effects of weed vary strongly by the person. Fortunately for you it doesn't affect you negatively. I say you're normal.
I don't think marijuana has anything to do with intelligence. It's either there or it isn't.
I think it is very normal, but it may not appear that way to non-puffers because they assume that all pot-heads fit the stereotypical stoner image. They are wrong, of course, but they just don't know any differently.
Weed dosen't MAKE you intelligent. That's a ridiculous thing to think. It's also ridiculous to think it makes you stupid, however.
My man. There is a correct way to use the cannabis. Most people like to melt with it, me personally, I prefer to smoke two bowls and read. Ganja got me through Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, Sun Tzu's The Art of War (which i cannot recommend enough!) and many many other great works of literature. It's all about knowing your limit, and knowing where you want to be on it.
It's pretty normal actually. Just cause someone is a straight 'A' student, doesn't mean that they are the "cleanest" or the most "innocent." I hang out among the straight 'A' student crowd, and most of them are into drugs and sex (mostly sex, haha). Go figure. However, I don't believe that marijuana has anything to do with them being "extremely successful."
My boyfriend is genuinely more intelligent when he's stoned as well as a few of his stoner friends. I turn into a vegetable. It's different for everyone I guess.
it depends on you and your attitude to be successful
marijuana and any other stuff like this does not contribute to your success
Im a intellectual person, and smoke weed everyday. Its normal.
Weed makes you smart. Period.
Just look at Harold & Kumar haha, but seriously, it's normal. It all depends on how your body reacts to it.

Are You Retarded or something?
Weed alone is not adicting it is simply a gateway drug, nothing AT ALL is wrong with weed alone. There is no way anyone can overdose on weed and no one has died from it. If you want to complain about drugs that kill then why don't you go complain about tobacco or alcohol. Which by the you probably don't have a problem with just because the government says its legal, put actually kills people, but just because they can claim taxes on it, that makes everything better doesn't it? Well no it doesn't!
Marijuana is actually good for people with cancer, depression, or to be used as pain killers. So tell me if it's so bad why do they use it for medical purposes?
And The poster never said straight a students had to smoke it every day, your probably just envy the stoners that got better grades than you in high school.
"The poster" is you, you have made wild assumptions, you are incapable of using the "Reply" button, and equally, if it ISN'T so bad, why is it illegal?
You can do that in high school because it's so easy. I rarely brought a book home during high school.
But you cannot continue at the same pace in college and hope to get straight A's. It is much more challenging than high school. High school was a walk in the park compared to college.
Yeah same. Lots of people are into marijuana, so it'd be surprising if some of them weren't intelligent. Also if you're more intelligent you might realise more quickly that what you've been told about drugs simply isn't true, and that marijuana is way better than alcohol.
So can marijuana actually help you maintain perfect, as well as keep up with an active social life?
If ANYONE has to relay on this crap to get through each and every day in life -then you have a problem which you must ADMIT TO...!!!!
I have NO sympathy to asnyone weho gets intyo these situations... No one forced you (others) into this nonesense... You (or them) were curious and wanted to experiment... So if you're hooked, so be it - only YOU can get out of it...
