Well, lately, reading on these forums, and in other places such as my friends, I've noticed a very large trend in potheads not doing shit with their lives, and being largely stereotypical stoners. My question to you is, one, what are you doing with your lives currently, and two, how many successful pot smokers do you know in your life?
I smoke weed everyday, countless times a day, and I'm currently studying Computer Engineering in college, I've got near straight a's, a job, and a lot to look forward to in life. Pot just affects me differently I suppose, I like to get stoned and do my homework, I notice that I am a little slower, things aren't so quick to the mind, and my mind wanders a lot more than necessary for homework, but I find it enjoyable, it makes the homework more interesting when you're mind is thinking about what it can truly mean instead of just solving problems. I've even managed to ace most of my exams while stoned. Most of my friends are far from this though, and need to be sober for exams, and most of their homework.
It seems like weed makes a lot of people slower and dumber, much more so than myself. I wonder if perhaps it has to do with my intelligence, but it seems like more than that. The school I go to is mainly an Engineering school, so it's filled with all sorts of smart kids, some of which are stoners. Even the stoners here, less so than back home, are pretty stereotypical. Forgetful, absentminded, lives largely centered around weed(not saying that my own isn't really). I just want to know if there are more people like myself, that can control themselves, and still have intelligent conversation while baked out of their minds.
Maybe it has to do with length of time you have been smoking weed. I started when I was 13, pretty occasional back in the day, moved it up to a few times a week. Getting caught by police, parents, and being sent to rehab for marijuana addiction all put some holes in my weed smoking, but after dealing with everything, I went straight back to it every time. Eventually my mom stopped caring about me smoking in her house, and since I haven't stopped smoking. I've been smoking everyday, probably 10-15 times a day for the last 2, 2 and a half years. And the only thing I really notice about my pot smoking, is that I forget a good amount of things in the past. Not things like school work, appointments, classes, due dates, what people ask me to do. But more like just what I did. It might also have to do with the large amounts of alcohol I drink some nights, but everything past a couple weeks just turns into a blur, and I only remember certain events. I can be reminded of a lot of things, but I can't just unlock those memories when I want to. Something just clicks and I remember. I've been smoking for so long, I honestly don't remember what it was like before I started, but I've always had a poor memory for that kind of thing, so I'm not so sure weed has really affected my memory at all.
Well I feel like I'm rambling and bragging, but I really just want to hear what you're long term stories with pot are. How long you've smoked, how it has affected your life, why you still smoke it/quit smoking, why you smoked for so long/still smoke. What have you done with your lives, and you do you think pot has had any great significance in your life. I guess I started this thread to reassure myself that I won't become a brainless pothead if I keep on smoking, and that other people have done it before.

. We smoke basically all day everyday and I do enjoy doing intellectual things while stoned but most of the time it's just driving around smoking more.
