How does smoking weed affect your schoolwork as a teenager?

Answer 1

that all depends on who your talking to. doing schoolwork while i was high- i was pretty productive because i was happy and content so i didnt mind doing it. but for some they cant focus at all and often dont have the desire to.

Answer 2

Certainly not. There is no scientific evidence which links marijuana to bad grades. For twenty-five years, researchers have searched for a marijuana-induced amotivational syndrome and have failed to find it. People who are intoxicated constantly, regardless of the drug, are unlikely to be productive members of society. There is nothing about marijuana specifically that causes people to lose their drive and ambition. In laboratory studies, subjects given high doses of marijuana for several days or even several weeks exhibit no decrease in work motivation or productivity. Among working adults, marijuana users tend to earn higher wages than non-users. College students who use marijuana have the same grades as nonusers. Among high school students, heavy use is associated with school failure, but school failure usually comes first.
