Does anyone else notice that smokin weed makes you a little slow the day after? (atleast the morning into midafternoon).
I love my weed but it sucks havin you're IQ lowered when your in college and have class the next day.
But since it's summer, I'm tokin up so much now since I don't have any heavy thinkin to do. Sucks i'll have to give it up by september.

I have smoked multiple times a day for years. I still managed to graduate from college when I was 17. I currently smoke a blunt with my wife every night before bed(around 11pm) and wake up fully rested around 6am. I don't think my IQ has been lowered in the least, just the oppopsite in fact. Over the years I have grown more logical and yet more open to new things, this has shown in my programming/design skills, and has resulted in several raises just in a few years.
Different people have different results though. I have seen people smoke every day and make nothing of their lives. Drugs are an excuse for those that would be worthless anyways IMO.

I thought this was the case for me for a long time. Then I realized that toking was actually causing me to stay up later by an hour or two every night. So, once I started either smoking earlier and getting the right amount of sleep, or just making sure to get some caffeine in the morning, the sense of "losing my IQ" went away entirely.

In my case, it really DOES affect my IQ. When I have smoked a few days before I'm really bad at programming/maths/algorithms etc (I'm at highschool, got 18 a few months ago). It lasts a week or so, then my IQ seems to get back.
But hey, they don't call it highschool for no reason.

IQ is a farce. created to make minorities look stupid, and even used to implement sterilization programs on young children.

back on topic (since the topic never mentioned IQ), i find smoking makes me a little slower, and makes it harder to remember the many things i learn.. but at the same time, without smoking I would hardly have the patience or open-mindedness to sit through the hours and hours of lectures, or reading books focused on deconstructing logic itself.
its a double edged sword, and with everything else, moderation is key. i have yet to master that part..

Like any psychedelic, it's all just a head game. People can convince themselves of some crazy things. Such as being unable to cope with life. sulf-fulfilling prophesy or whatnot. If you think you're stupid, then yeah, you're fucking stupid. You create your own reality.
I made a 34 on my ACTs. Hungover and stoned.

Just cause you can't program, do math or think as clearly doesn't mean you're getting dumber or your IQ's dropping. There's lots of things that play into the effectiveness of our brains. Mental or physical strain, emotions, hunger, sleep, etc. I don't think weed's so much making you stupid, I think your brain needs a little time to just clear up from being under the influence of a drug, needs to get used to regular conditions in the body, etc so you just feel kinda cloudy and slow the next day. I used to have the same problem all the time (to the point where I thought I was actually going insane and just getting really stupid in the progress). Anyways, stop smoking for at least a week and you should notice things clearing up that you didn't even realize were fuzzy. If you find you're having this problem and want to soften its effects, I started using a vitamin B comlex along with some ginseng pills and find it to be of at least some help.
