"We find that the academic performance of students who are no longer legally permitted to buy cannabis increases substantially."

Pfft.

For my own case, when I smoke cannabis, my brain becomes hyperactive. I want to resolve all of my codesmell at once. I want to finish all of my code at once. My writing becomes "electric". My writing becomes transcendental and on fire — why do I become electric, yet all of these students become unmotivated globs? Tell me why this is the case before you moralize and vilify such a beautiful plant!

So maybe it's me. Or maybe the lot of you just don't know how to smoke and ritualize the practice. Maybe you all have a flawed philosophy to begin with, or worse, you don't have a philosophy about what you're smoking — to begin with.

I think it has to do with the maturity of the smoker. Since you probably have an established career or passion, weed tends to amplify that. Whereas with students, they are still maturing and figuring their lives out and since marijuana amplifies that they become even more lazy? Just my 2 cents
