It will make you smarter in a lot of ways and dumber in a few ways. You may become inattentive, careless, clumsy, silly.... it definitely makes your short term memory worse, but its not too life altering. But also it can inspire deep thinking as well because it helps you see the world from a different "angle".
Like you might start wondering about race, politics, religion, police/law, parenting, because weed ties into all these things and you start to think differently, like why is this illegal? Is this really that ad for me? Is this worse for me than legal drugs?
Why is this illegal but other more dangerous drugs are legal? Is this tied into politics or religion? It can make you think, and it can make you stop thinking.
It all just depends how it vibes with you at a particular time. I smoked weed pretty often for a while, but ive been taking a break for a bit now for many reasons including time money and my health/complextion/bunch of other reasons. Weed is awesome.
Just be careful you have your **** together before you start smoking because it can distract you from life because it is TOO fun sometimes. Its like video games, if you are doing it sometimes you are spending time you could be spending learning a useful skill. But weed is awesome, but if you have some underlying problem or personality disorder it will just make it worse.
I have friends who smoke weed and they are incredibly intelligent. Though I do think that too much of anything can be bad. Weed is definitely safer than alcohol.
Anyways, just don't overdo it. Though I think it should be legalized and regulated for specifically adults though.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
