Weed and STEM

[Anonymous No.10800828]

Dear Anons,

I appeal to the STEM Fags with this question:

Weed and Studying Stem (excluding biology), how do you reconcile the two?

Im a stoner, but I desire a degree in computer science. Do I have to quit? Or did any of you make it?

Btw, I can study forever and free of cost. Germany lets you study for free. I also have rich parents so I neednt work.

I have all the time and money in the world. Can I achieve a master's in computer science and continue getting baked a lot? If so how?

Love,

Yoshi

EE student here. I used to be an avid user of weed having many study sessions and going into class high. While it surely is possible to do all this under the influence, it will make the process of learning a lot slower and more time will have to be dedicated to studying if you hope to do well on exams. Find a way to do it without letting it interfering with your learning. Also, if you are under 25 then doing it often could impede development in your frontal cortex and I would only do it once a week at the very most.

Avoid doing it while studying and going to class. It is fun but you can easily miss or forget a lot of information doing it. Let it be a reward for doing well.

Cool, just wanted to make sure you weren't misguided. See too many fags that come into CS because they think "oh yeah computers yeah I play video games this is perfect for me" or "oh yeah, money. I'm gonna be rich even though I'm a massive normie and I don't give a shiz about technology or creativity or problem solving" and then they drop out when they realize they have to do math and think relatively hard. So many people drop out. Sick of passionlets.

You'll probably be able to pull it off while lighting it up if you're smart enough, but my advice, just quit dude, or at least keep it at low, infrequent doses. Stop handicapping yourself. Not gonna try to stop you tho.

Weed is known to affect memory in a pretty bad way
I don't see how that would gare well with any kind of serious studying. Maybe get baked on Friday nights so you have the weekend to get better but I suppose none at all is better

It depends how old you are. Your brain isn't fully developed until you're about 25 years old, and even then it's just at a very slow rate of further development.

If you're still young you'll have to pay interest on the weed/hash you smoke later on in life.

>>10800857
Surprisingly from what I've read and heard from medical experts, memory impairment is an immediate and short to medium term result of smoking weed/hash/etc.

The long term damages are completely underrated. Psychosis and increased anxiety are the two notable long term damages of increased use of highly potent strains of Marijuana (it's not like the weed smoked in the 60s).

I don't mention Depression because everyone is depressed nowadays.

In my opinion, the worst thing about smoking Marijuana is the lifestyle that goes with it. Marijuana culture is completely degenerate. There might be a few outliers from the group of degenerates, but as an aggregate it's disgusting.

>to OP
Depending on the uni you go to, you can maybe pull it off. However, if you attend a slightly competitive uni, you'll get destroyed because CS and EECS is so impacted.

Good luck OP

It sucks to hear but no. I quit for a couple years and lost the desire but occasionally I’ll smoke with friends.

Weed has two things - makes you unable to think properly and puts you at risk for criminal prosecution.

Thinking improperly will make you act weird (high brilliance fallacy) and you will do bad in college.

Criminal stuff is self explanatory. You WILL NOT get hired with anything on your record. Do not do this to
Yourself. You can quit for a while until you get establish.

I know it sucks man I’ve been there but you’re strong enough to do it and move on. You know you need to.

>Cybersec
A glorified IT field. You will need to know how to program to pentest and audit software, but by and large the majority of cybersec is auditing networks and servers which is IT.
>I want to understand computers
You'll learn how data is processed, maybe, and you'll learn how compilers work. Shitty reason to go into CS desu.
>It's always been my passion
If you lack the initiative but have the passion, you'll just have the life sucked out of you.
Honestly, go into Software Engineering. CS is a huge meme. It is neither theoretical enough nor applied enough.

I smoked a lot of weed as a community college student. Kicked that habit when I transferred to uni. It's not a good habit to have. In school you'll be busy enough already and weed just makes you complacent in doing nothing, which is not a habit you will want to have. You need to learn how to effectively manage your time and focus.
Also if you want to do cool shit with the feds, give up because you're already too late.

So you had nothing better to do other than smoking weed and spending time in front of your pc? And all of a sudden you have a passion for CS?

[Anonymous No.10804331]

>>10804177
I am literally the opposite. Weed made it easy to block out social distractions (and for better or worse, needs of my partner) and worries about if the research was going to work, etc. so I could just do research for like 9+ hours.

Don't wake and bake. Never smoke before going to class and plan your time carefully. With enough discipline it's not a big deal. I always treated weed as "reward" for getting shit done, which boosted my motivation and was actually was quite useful because I could finish my work quicker if I did it early.
However if you do CS not because of passion but boredom, you might have much harder time motivating yourself.

>>10800864
>Yeah I was considering once a week as week.
That's easy, I finished CS smoking every day. The only challenging part was writing final thesis as this is such a long term, boring project.

I studied Maths with Comp Sci while smoking the entire time though it. You are indeed handicapping yourself - I was once top 100 in the country for maths, but I ended up only getting a 2.1 from a decent university. Sure, it's fine, but it's a lot of wasted potential. So I guess the point is that it'll be harder, but you can still make it.

[Anonymous No.10809381]

Weed is a gigantic waste of time, keep it up and you are going to start becoming delirious when you 420. All it does is artificially lower your iq and make being bored less insufferable. Find a productive hobby. You should switch to stimulants and psychedelics, just say no to pot, also say no to video games. Go outside and explore in your free time, not high on weed, you will just wander around aimlessly and want to sit down, you memory is going to be fucked.
The only thing that could justify habitual(more than a couple times a year) cannibus consumption is being a terminal patient.
If you want to laze around smoking pot all day, be a neet or a wageslave. Stoners do nothing but pollute communities of higher learning.

hi anon.
I am in a graduate level biochemistry program. I interact with all sorts of STEM graduate students.
Everyone smokes weed, does harder drugs, or drinks. Some daily, others weekly, all responsibly. I myself smoke weed every night, but only after all work is done. Do LSD about once every 4 months, and MDMA about once a month.
It's possible, but you have to be responsible. Cannot cheat yourself and smoke early, cannot make excuses. I smoked everyday in undergrad as well, graduated with a 3.92. Currently have 1 non-first author publication, and have smoked weed with my advisor. Drugs are very common at the research level

This. I do both, and heres what I can tell you... You can program on weed, but you certainly cannot study on weed, I mean holy fuck. And its obviously harder to program on weed because you keep forgetting things, which is a bad trait to have as a programmer, since you usually need to keep a lot of data in your mind at a given time, which is very hard to accomplish on weed.

Do fucking speed.. And for the love of god, try to find good amphetamine, that isnt cut to death. You become insanely productive bro I tell you.

Mdma affects me differently than most people. It really helps me focus. It might be because I have severe adhd and have taken amphetamines for most of my life.

Yes. I also have ADHD, I can absolutely relate bro... amphetamine to me is a wonder drug. I always had massive problems studying, working, reading... When I took amphetamine for the first time, It was like a wonder to me.. suddenly i enjoyed doing tedious work, i enjoyed reading, i enjoyed studying etc... It is simply magical. It is such a shame that this shit is illegal, or can only be obtained through a psychiatrist (ritaline, not amphetamine... well unless ure amerifag). I could go to a psych but I dont wanna because it takes many months before you actually can make an appointment, and you have to visit your psychiatrist regularly to get more ritaline. Its just easier to buy shitty expensive amphetamine on the street, in which probably 10 niggers pissed on before. thats the sad truth

I do not really like the idea of taking MDMA or any stimulants for works except caffeine from mate. I do not want to depend on things like that, I only use it for social and emphatogenic reasons.

completely understandable, and you shouldnt be dependable on it. But for people like me, who have a mental dissease, I do depend on it.

>Occasionally microdosing LSD is fine though.
Id love to try that, but I dont know any sources where i can get LSD (real lsd) from.. so. Also isnt LSD really expensive if you want to take it regularly? And what about the tolerance? I know that tolerance builds up very fast on lsd, but maybe its different if you microdose it.

Onions.
>so. Also isnt LSD really expensive if you want to take it regularly?
No, absolutely. I pay more for weed I manage to consume during trip than the LSD itself. It's like 10$ for 100ug. When you microdose, you take 1/6-1/10 of that, every ~3rd day, so it's nothing. I only take 1/6 every few months though.
>And what about the tolerance? I know that tolerance builds up very fast on lsd, but maybe its different if you microdose it.
On full dose, LSD tolerance builds up within hour or two and last ~2 weeks to baseline. But microdosing doesn't have that. In general when you microdose it, it feels more like stimulant than psychodelic, but it's really unique and interesting. Just don't overdo it or you'll spend your day listening to music and looking at patterns on the floor. Cutting blotter isn't reliable, dissolve LSD in spirit and dose it volumetrically onto a sugar cube.
