    No but it helps you to stop worrying about them.

    if u suffer from exam anxiety, I dont see how half a spliff is gonna affect or intelligence if you've already done the revision etc. I think that amount could increae your result because U r less stressed.

    however, more than that and you might start to drool and spell your name wrong.

    NLIG, I'm a long time toker...and it can negatively effect your short term memory. You don't want to "zone" during a test...where you have to stop and think to answer question 1 "Name:"

    My dad said it helped for pain and increased his appetite during those bouts of nausea from chemo.

    What type of pain? If its just a little sore throat or small bump on the arm

    then I'd say yes but anything beyond that forget about it and go see a

    doctor for the correct pain medication that really is ment to reduce severe

    pain like cuts, sprains and broken bones. :m:

    No. It won't make you study better. It will only "numb" you into wanting to

    quit studying and eat. Pot isn't anything more than a drug that gets you

    feeling good, high, and hungry. Your anxiety is caused by you not knowing

    your school work and you should take more time in preparing yourself for the

    tests. Tests are only to help you see if your memory is doing OK. If you

    smoke pot it doesn't help your memories whatsoever.

    I haven't so much as laid eyes on the stuff for years, now, but I can't see how it would help in any scholastic activity. For me, anyway, it always used to start what seemed to be hundreds of "trains of thought" going at once, and it was reeeeeeally easy for any given one to get "derailed", and the next to become simply fascinating for some seemingly random number of minutes.

    I've heard of it being helpful in certain situations - Orleander mentioned chemotherapy - but I always found that it didn't so much relieve the pain of any incidental cuts, bruises or whatnot that I might have had at the time I indulged, but seemed to render the sensation into something which somehow did not equate with discomfort.

    You'll gain a better understanding on how the world works around you on different points of views.

    But that is different than being book smart.
