Your post does not make sense. You should probably have quit while you were behind. Apparently you were not paying attention in the third grade. “In Washington State” when followed by a description of what one is doing at their home or where they are driving obviously refers to where that person lives.

Thinking back to when you were in the third grade... Do any of these findings from a study on marijuana use affecting students seem familiar to you?

“Students were getting lower grades and becoming less likely to graduate, compared to students who did not use marijuana.”

“Students had significantly impaired skills related to attention, memory and learning even after not using marijuana for 24 hours.”

“Students had problems in sustaining and shifting attention.”

“Students had problems with the ability to register, organize and use information, even compared to occasional users of marijuana.”

“Students had an impaired ability to recall words from a list a week after quitting marijuana use.”

False - the prima facie reading is that the speaker is invalidly extrapolating their corner-of-the-state experience to the entire state. A fully literate speaker not thus extapolating will say e.g. "In my neck of Washington State ..."
