i was just wondering how people felt about school? when i first started smoking i loved it and i was doin better in school. now im not doin so good and i am the perfect stereotype stoner whos a bad kid and who gets bad grades and gets in a lot of trouble. it kinda sucks bc i want to do good in school , but i just cant i am having troubles allmost like i developed a.d.d. and how do you think i can explain this to my mom about how bad i am doing. i think im just goin to tell her ive been stressed out alot lately being the end of the year an all and that me breaking up with my b.f. was rough on me..... so what do you think?

If school is important to you, then you need to cut back on weed. I know it's a lot easier to say than do, but you really have to focus on your goal. Leave weed only for the weekends, and even then, only after you finish any weekend homework. Instead of thinking about not being able to smoke, think about something positive, like how much money you're saving, how the weed will seem more potent when you smoke it, and how much easier it is to focus.

Yeah I'm right there with you.. I was a crazy intelligent student in grade 10.. I got attendance awards, math awards, science awards... I took full course loads.. now I'm like fuck it, I do have a.d.d all of a sudden lol... I don't do shit man. I barely go to school, I still get 80s instead of 90s but it's cus I do everything last minute, at like 4am til 8am then I speed to school, drop it off, n go smoke a J..

:roll: I wonder where my probs come from :roll:

I talk to my guidance counsellor about it, he's pretty kickass though.. really respectful, knows I smoke herb n is okay with it but he really likes to see students succeed.. maybe find a teacher or someone like that in ur school, but I think my guidance counsellor is a rare find.

i just finished my first year of college and i did pretty well...i smoked every weekend and a few occasions on the weekday but i maintained good grades...you just have to make sure you have time to do all the work...last summer i didnt work and i pretty much smoked everyday, this summer ive cut back on smoking and i got a job...sometimes you just need to take a break and get things done that are important...i can probably get away with smoking everyday but i know if i want to succeed i need to keep my smoking and partying under control.

Well its' a good thing I'm in my last year of college, because I'm really fucking off in school too.

I've been smoking everyday since my freshman year in highschool, when I was 14. I cannot recall more than 5 things from my entire highschool education, because I did not try at all. I failed many classes and only passed art and pottery (with A's). :lol:

Then I dropped out and became a junky.

When I went back to school, to college, I decided to try really hard, even though I'm a stoner. I've done really well! I maintained a 3.93 GPA for the first 3 years. That is an incredibly hard thing to do, and I worked my ass off for it.

The last six months have been really fucked, though. My whole life changed when I left my boyfriend of 5 years. Ever since February I've not been able to study first and then smoke - I've just been "herbin it 24/7". The only time I'm not high is when I'm actually in class. And my grades have slipped because of it. I got my first B ever. :cry: And now it's more like A-'s and B+'s, coz I just can't maintain my 4.0. I just dont have the motivation at all. School is so fucking hard, I don't care anymore. They broke me.

Here's the thing... I'm supposed to graduate in like 2 or 3 weeks. I'm still trying to write an 8 page philosophical paper from last term... and if I dont get it finished, no walking the aisle for me. Whats the big deal, just do it...I've been trying to do it for 3 months and it's just not happening. i actually got 2 pages written last night but that's pretty much all I have to say on the subject and I dont know what to do.

So, from a person who has the ability to maintain academic excellence at a high quality extremely expensive university, and is performing below her potential due to extreme marijuana use, I feel you.

All the friends I have here dont just smoke pot, they use everything... speed, coke, ecstasy, pills. They fail their classes and they won't be going to law school with me. So although I'm doing poorly, I know it could be worse, and I just need to buck up and finish up here. god I can't wait to graduate.

Oh, and to the kid who said "I'll cut back in college".... good luck buddy. There's more weed here than in my dad's freezer.

Everyone has valid points, and it looks like the best thing to do is to talk to your mom, and cut back.
