I’ve been offered weed a few times now, however I have declined as I’m worried it will make me bloated or give me acne.
I also worry that it will make me an iqlet. I get very good grades in school and have exams coming up which can determine if I am able to attend a Russell group university. I am tempted to try it, but I don’t want my grades to get any worse due to lowered iq.

try it once, nothing will happen. but never make it a habit, i can tell you from personal experience your grades will be significantly worse at uni if you smoke daily

weed can increase your chances of developing psychosis and schizophrenia, that alone is enough reason to avoid it

Ive been smoking weed constistently for almost a year, atleast once every other day, most of the time daily. Its done nothing to my looks, skin, iq, If anything Ive improved in all those aspects, but thats also because i maintained a healthy lifestyle throughout the time I've been doing it. Eating healthy, going to the gym consistently, and other types of softmaxxing. The only thing I can confirm that weed has negatively impacted me in is my breathing, which I still havent even noticed a difference in but by now it has to have done something. I'd say that as long as you dont lose focus on the important things and maintain healthy living then it should almost do nothing.

Thanks, I’ll take that into consideration
 
I smoke it. It doesn't descend you facially, but it gives you an insane brain fog and lethargy that makes you unable to do complex physical or mental work (even after it has wore off). I would avoid it if you have hard classes, unless you're just doing it every once in a while when you don't have anything to do that day.

it’s a habit for me, i use it for anxiety instead of SSRIs. Before that I used to smoke every couple weeks and it did nothing to me. I wrestled in high school at the time and was better than I had ever been (it didn’t help be but didn’t set me back either). Just don’t get in the habit of doing it when you’re bored, it’s unaddictive. If you get addicted to a fun video game easily though, like start grinding it every day, that’s the same sense weed is addictive in. You can get used to it and it’ll become a hobby. just be smart, moderation, it’s not like nicotine you won’t ever crave it. It’s a great mental break on the weekends and shit.

brain fog can go away. Drink energy drinks or get some caffeine going. Smoke Medical weed, pesticides can give you hella brain fog. Stick to delta 9 flower and don’t only get high on carts/pens. A simple joint or bong rip gets me the desired effects with no fog in the morning. Dabs too. Carts though they give me hella brain fog.

Sadly if I mix weed and caffeine I get hella anxiety, so I avoid that. I think carts are fine if you get them from a dispensary and the brand has confirmed lab results, but most retards just smoke the fake ones

she needs to try it man, the emotional blunting from SSRIs is brutal. Weed is the best mental break it’s such a good way to deal with anxiety and depression, and honestly a good way to make friends too. If she found a group to get baked with her age she would love it. My parents both smoke and are hella successful, can’t have a stigma if ur successful yk?

same here haha i mean in the morning, drink an energy drink it gets rid of brain fog. Don’t mix the two and don’t wake and bake. Ya I have dispensary carts, PA ones so nothing special, Live resin 82%. I promise you though if you invest in a bong you get twice as high but liek without the crazy paranoia, you just surrender to it easier. My tolerance so high now carts don’t make me feel anything unless it’s first rip of the day. Dabs and Bong rips get me any time of the day though. You’ll figure it out for yourself at your own pace:sleep:

Are you ND? If so, would you say being high is an effective mask, or does it not give you confidence like alcohol does?

It's honestly dependant on a lot of factors, it's much less consistent than alcohol. If ur tolerance is low you'll prob act a lot more ND, but when u learn how to handle the high then you can basically play off sober every time. I wouldn't count on it giving you more confidence tho, alcohol is way better for that. Your environment matters too, you'll be more comfortable in familiar settings and situations bc it amplifies your current state of mind and thoughts

Personally, I tried it once and it is overrated in relation to the side effects it gives you such as acne, swelling not to mention the psychological consequences, I have a friend who uses it regularly and I feel more unmotivated and even depressed being that I was a prodigy in school before

Interesting, cuz tbh if I'm with strangers usually it gets me more anxious and less confident unless I'm with a close group of friends. It affects everyone differently, try it a couple times @hardyy. and you'll get a better understanding on how u feel on it

Thanks, I only ask as I struggle to get drunk because I fucking hate the taste of alcohol. I just force myself to drink it to mask my neurodivergence and I wondered if getting high was an easier and more pleasurable way to mask

The thing is being high makes you overanalyze everything, especially your thoughts. If you can handle this then it can be a good mask and can give you confidence but this isn't a common effect, most people get more quiet and high inhib

Using it once or twice isn't gonna nerf you but the whole thing is that it's really addictive so if you use it just once there's a chance you'll keep coming back. And we all know using it chronically is gonna nerf tf outta you.

In terms of grades, do you think the overanalysing will actually help me? All of my selected subjects (English literature, law and politics) require deep analysis and aren’t really ‘problem solving’ subjects, which makes me think I would perform better after consistently smoking dope

Maybe a little bit, but don't get too high. Definitely avoid it fully for problem solving classes like math or science, I made the mistake of getting high before a pre calculus test last year and I barely passed it. It can make easy classes where you don't have to think a lot like art and english more fun

was like that for me at first. remember when u start taking medication it takes weeks for full effect and side effects to go away. weed is like that too. I can go anywhere in public high and i’ll be less anxious that way than if i wasn’t.

In the uk you only take three subjects after the age of 16, so literally my only classes are english, law and politics. i don’t take any problem solving exams like chemistry or calculus. but the non problem solving subjects are still really hard as you have to go into a shit tonne of depth for like every paragraph and there’s a lot of content to memorise. Do you think getting high if i only do those subjects is fine?
 
studies have proven that marijuana lowers iq by 8 points and it can sag the skin into a nct and give a tired appearance overall fucking up ur eye area not recommended overall turns u into a dumbass tired goblin
