After all night partying, took my SAT’s one Saturday morning, after boning up in the parking lot, and again at the break.
Got into MENSA on the scores. My fellow pothead friends thought that was funny as $hit. Me, too.
Swimmers are notorious potheads. Olympic swimmers even. More than a few Pro motorcycle racers are, too. While racing. I know several.
I know current CEO’s (yes, plural) who regularly partake. And run startup medical device companies. And are very, very wealthy. I know cops, lawyers, and even a CPA who partake.
It’s not for everybody. I gave it up long ago. But people who condemn pot smokers with a broad brush are giggled at (heh) by pretty successful weed smokers. Reefer madness is plain ignorant.

It’s pandemic in the tech business, which I am familiar with.
All those folks inventing cutting edge tech that changed everyone’s life are high as a kite.
At least they are several times per week.
And, part of that culture is “never high at work”.
Yeah, I got a 33/35 on the ACT and a perfect score on the science section, after “waking & baking” the morning of the test.
I wouldn’t recommend it though for people who are already mentally dull. That’s not a good combination.
So why did you give it up? (sincere question)
I could get into MENSA but no thanks. Smart enough to say no thanks to alcohol or drugs, too. I prefer a clear mental and physical state and certainly don’t need to be in some club just because my DNA aligned in a certain way. Brings to mind that old hair dye commercial with some blond model stating she got her looks thanks to her parents. IQ, looks and race are nothing you did.
