Cannabis improves intelligence??

Hey Guys,

I was trying to solve some number sequences and spatial awareness exercises because a have a test comming up for a job interview.

I first tried the easy test and got 5 out of 8.
Of course I got bored after a while and the obvious thing happened

After that I tried the medium test and got 12 out of 13.

Seems to me I should smoke some more before I take the test

I wonder if it was a coincidence I would apriciate it if you could do the same and share the results

This is the one I tried Number Sequences | Fibonicci.com

Enjoy

There is no doubt that marijuana has helped me take my education to the next level. I find it helps in any activity which requires critical thinking. Marijuana seems to help me open my mind to ideas and thoughts I probably wouldn't have while sober.

Well... cannabis in fact improves several kinds of intelligence... i used it to get new insights while solving hard physics problems, or things that needed a lot of visual intelligence... also, once i did take an IQ test while high, and got a score 10 points higher (pun intended ) than when i had taken an IQ test while sober... thats why i smoke lol!

cannabis generally does not improve intelligence. But only in heavy users, the study I read defines heavy users as people who smoke 5 joints or more per week.

The reason I think alot of people think their smarter high, is because their brains still process at the same speed, but they question those computations more precisely because their high. And so will go over them again in their head. Basically your not smarter, your just less likely to make mistakes, if you think in this way, and double check yourself.

I think it may be true for indicas which make ones mind slower, but for sativas my own experience shows that being high actually makes my mind work way faster... often i get the answer for a problem without any need of thinking... the answer just pops in my mind... and its the right answer, if i care to check it.
Also, it helps to understand relationships between concepts apparently unrelated, what is very useful when learning abtract things, like physics, some kinds of math, etc.

Well I've made up my mind.
I have to take the test tomorrow and I'm going for the sober approach.
Turns out I also have to talk to a shrink to determine my mental state :P

Ah who am I kidding, I'll probbably be more relaxed after a small one in the morning

Damn, I wonder what I'd be classified as, if only smoking 5 joints in a whole week makes you a heavy user. And whenever I tried doing my math homework or whatever while high, I always ended up tripping out and staring at the same question for 5 minutes, so I don't think it improves intelligence.

I smoke at least double that amount every day, what kind of user would I be if half that a week is considered heavy


A dumb fucker before smoking just becomes a stoned dumb fucker after smoking.
Just my opinion.

I've found in smallish amounts it can help with creative inspiration (artwork and design ideas) and some forms of problem solving - especially abstract (planning, writing code etc). But this is only really with Sativas.

But getting really blazed never helped me that much - after a while I would zone-out a bit too much.

and I agree with psychocat

i totally agree with delta9, i write/record songs and do alot of 3d animation etc, and weed is my fuel! I've recorded stuff when I was sober and it's just not the same. what's really interesting is how different weed brings out different feelings in my music. alot of my stuff sounds like some bluesy floyd, but a couple of weeks ago I got some shit that made me write a death metal song. I swear it was the weed!

When I smoke a lot, my body takes over. I did a presentation the other week and caught myself not even paying attention to what was happening, just talking. Not even knowing what I was saying, just talking to these professors and 2 whole classes of people. Then, I just stop talking, I guess that's all I had to say. Then the professors ask questions, and then I start answering them. I actually started geeking out for like 2 seconds when this happened, but no one thought anything of it. And I mean I was proper high, high as balls; high balls at that. So anyway, I get my grade, model and presentation
(architectural student) back and all A's MOFO's!!!!! I did the project in like 2 days, while high off my ass. It just comes out when I'm high. And during tests in high school and now in college, I don't study at all, don't even take notes just listen, and all I can get is B's. Lol. People get pissed as shit so I tell them smoke pot and they look at me weird but fuck it. Pot works, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it.


HOLY SHIT.....that's a lot, didn't know I was typing that all. Well for those who read it, THAAAAAAANKS!

If I have a toke after a long lay off I get deeper access to my unconscious mind. Any things that are on my mind rise to the surface and solutions reveal themselves.

If cannabis affected the intelligence as much as some people believe we would all be Einstein.
I still believe
Dumb fuck sober = Dumb fuck stoned
