/sci/ - Science & Math

I won't get into a heated debate about this because I've already argued about whether or not marijuana should be legalized with many other people in my lifetime, but I will say a few personal things.

Smoking marijuana (along with other drug use) has allowed me to become more interested in science, math, and all of the other subjects that I was studying in high school. The year that I started smoking, my GPA experience a huge boost and I found that I was very interested in subjects that had previously bored me. This has continued throughout college, even though I don't smoke nearly as much and sometimes will even go months without smoking. Marijuana was able to stimulate my mind and cause me to seek out answers to many different academic questions and helped to give me a love for learning that doesn't seem to be disappearing, regardless of how much I smoke.

I know this is just anecdotal evidence and that it's meaningless in relation to scientific studies, but I'm just trying to show people that marijuana can have positive effects on the mind of a healthy person. It doesn't lead to laziness and apathy, although it certainly can. Cannabis, like all other tools in the world, can help to build great things but it can also be used to destroy. Ultimately, it's up to the user.
