Day zero

Man, I used to write exactly like this. I mean exactly, with the schedule and everything. After smoking weed daily for many years I completely lost this ability. Shit...

But I remember being able to think and write clearly like what you've written above. And while normally no one would think it's an indicator of someone who is, or has until recently been heavily depressed, it seems like that to me because I can really resonate with it. Maybe I'm way off, but if I'm not, then take your own advice above and quit weed once and for all. Eliminate whatever it is that's preventing you from achieving your goals. Whatever bad habits, bad situation at home, at school, whatever it might be that's causing you to use weed as a crutch - get past it. Get past it and excel in life.

People always write the response "I can tell how intelligent you are by the way you write" or some bullshit, I see it all the time, and always think "man, what a bunch of fucking phonies... Anyone knows how to write" but you, you are someone who it's easy to discern is smart from the way you've written. From the way you've detailed out your thought process and thought about how you're going to solve your problem.

Don't let that go to waste. Weed will take it away. I'm serious. You will quite possibly lose the working memory that is required to think the way you currently do.

I'm not joking. You probably have realized it yourself that you're at least somewhat clever, don't let that go to waste. Trust me, going from clever to average with memory problems is something you'll notice and be permanently aware of. Things that were easy will become hard, even frustrating. Coming up with a simple schedule like you've just done - I can't do that anymore. I literally lost that skill. Listening to people and comprehending what they're saying? I forget the first half before they're done with the second half.

It's not guaranteed to happen to you. But I'm telling you, it sure as hell isn't worth the risk.
