i'm 21. i don't know whether to attribute the effects to the pot or not... but when i started the effects were so wonderful inspirationally. now i truly don't see any colour to the world. i was taking it as a means to self-medicate. but the positive effects started to die with age. i would just be a babbling, clumsy, falling down, carried away idiot, not really enjoying anything, but for some reason seeming like it. i don't know why it took so long to stop.

the thing that was really noticable was the year i started smoking pot heavily, i failed practically all of my classes, and it only got worse... i was bad to begin with but now i struggle to do anything. i'm incompetent no matter what i try to do. anything external, requiring concetration in the world, my brain just falls apart, i don't even see the world anymore. just simple a few simple concepts that for some strange reason manage to keep my pellet-sized mind entertained.
