Back in highschool I used to be pretty smart. The guy who always cracks the hardest problems, reads and understands the more demanding books asf.
I remember scoring in the top 0,5 % when given an IQ test at 18.
I started using opiates (codeine) thinking that I'm gonna quit as soon as my tollerance gets to the point when it will stop being worthwile, with a serious concern about how it would affect my intelectual capacity. When I switched to stronger stuff, I really didn't care about that anymore.
Now, five years later, when analising my day to day life, my decisions and achievements (or lack of...) I can genuinly see how I've gotten dumber. Not only this, but I really "feel" stupider. I especially find it very frustrating how I forget stuff all the time.
Just took an IQ test and it seems that now I'm only in the top 5% (126).
My question to you is if you feel the same, that you've gotten dumber.
