Does habitual Marijuana consumption really lower intellectual potential?Because I have been habitually toking for approximately two months and am a highly accomplished, successful high school student (cum. GPA= 3.99 despite rigorous academic courses, ASB president, 110 hours of community service) who most would say is a role model and do not desire to reduce my potential for success in the future by lowering my intellectual capacity.
(I don't wish to sound braggadocious, I just want you to know more about me so you can analyze this situation completely and thoroughly in an objective manner.)
Is it alright if I just toke on weekends (1-3x/week)?
And if it does truly have these negative effects on intelligence, then how drastic are these effects?
Honestly, were it not for the ridiculous social stigma associated with Marijuana consumption, I do not see anything wrong with it (except for the obvious respiratory physical health effects of smoking, which can be avoided by eating or vaporizing). The only thing I might be concerned about is the effects on the brain...
Because I am 16 and trying to find a job and when a potential employer reviewed my application letter, she said that after reviewing thousands of resumes and application letters, mine was "up there with MBA's," which definitely riled me up about my potential in the future.
I don't know what to do...
I stopped toking cold turkey 3 days ago after toking daily for 2 weeks in order to lower my tolerance and now I feel more clear-minded and better overall (despite the withdrawal symptoms which pestered me but have now mostly subsided.) However, these results cannot directly be attributed to my cessation from weed consumption because, at the same time that I began my break from smoking, I fixed my circadian rhythm; prior to the break, I had my sleep cycle reversed: I was sleeping during the day and awake at night, but I have now successfully regulated my sleep cycle and am back to normal (waking a couple hours after sunup, sleeping a few hours after sundown).
I need some advice. Help a brother out, please.
PS: Now you know that not all people who consume marijuana are moronic buffoons. Open your mind and analyze the situation for what it's worth. Do not take ideologies into consideration; consider only scientific facts from personal research and your own experiences in life. Stimulate your mind, for however cliche the saying may be, "a mind is a terrible thing to waste," which is why I am now beginning to reconsider my habitual toking...
By reconsider I mean lower frequency of consumption... I don't want to stop completely because Marijuana does have medicinal value (legal for rx use in CA!!! YAY!!!) and is a great way to unwind after a hard day's work (or hard week's work.)

cannibus consumption i think only may harm the body if smoked(the lungs, since there is tar,i got a vaporizer for like 50 bukcs to solve this) but no it shouldn't harm any brain activity in the long run, but i have no clue.

Yes it does, medically proven so as well.
In childish terms, the cannabinoids "fit" into sockets on your brain, stopping normal function (getting high). Even when the high is gone , the cannabinoids are rattling around messing you up.
When i came off dope i could pretty much feel my mental agility coming back each day.
Give Edieee a Chance
From what I've seen it depends. If you have a motive, interest, direction you will maintain your intellect. Lets say you want to study science, you could get high and just for fun look up sum science fun facts. Or if ur into Business get high and look at some spread sheets.
It's when you have no direction in ur life that u get burned out. I can smoke all day everyday and still be smarter that alot of people.
