ok, so im about to start college for game design and even though most people would laugh at me for this, im going to not smoke weed at all whilst im there. i plan on starting back up when i get a solid job after college is over, so all in all it should be about 3 years. the reason im doing this is because i wanna have maximum brain power so i can remember everything there is to game design and be good at it. also it costs a fucking fortune and i dont wanna waste the money. so do you think this is smart/neccisary? i keep coming back to the shroomery and looking up weed posts and everything has atleast one weed reference nowadays, man its fucking torture. hahaha.

I think it's all personal choice. I know plenty of people who are in post-secondary and smoke weed regularly...and do fine. I also know people who choose to limit their weed intake or not consume any weed while in school, and they do fine also. Personally when I smoked, I found it made me less 'sharp' and somewhat paranoid and crazy, so I decided to quit. Haven't smoked in almost a year now.

It is easy to do drugs, difficult to stop using. Even when it is something as "harmless" as weed, abstaining is difficult. I think you should follow through on your plan,. It will add character if nothing else.

Take a break - why not?
Or, if you dont 100% quit - just cut back/monitor your usage. ie: Dont smoke untill after all your homework/assignments/reading/etc are done. Or, only smoke on weekends/in social settings (ie: no getting blazed home alone watching The Simpsons and eating chips).
For me, I found that when I took a mini-break from weed during the school year this year, I felt a bit sharper during class, homework was a bit easier, and my short term memory was improved.
If you 100% quit or not is up to you, but if you dont 100% quit, I'd recomend atleast cutting back your use and being more cautious of the when/why and how much you smoke.

I also quit during school, personally I feel quite an improvement, mostly related to memory. Now that it is summer, I still don't want to smoke at all.
