A new study published Monday found people who took just one hit of weed doubled their number of "false memories" in a virtual reality scenario compared to those who puffed on a placebo, said study author Johannes Ramaekers, a professor of psychopharmacology at Maastricht University in The Netherlands.

I meant pure rubbish. Probably not very many. Studying produces stress, demands focus, and requires efficient use of study time.
For university students, tests and quizzes come every week. The amount of focus, organization, and determination this requires is enormous.
Some microdose LSD and others take amphetamines without a prescription. These numbers are directly associated with the stigma attached to the two drugs. So how does cannabis impact university students?
There is a huge range of positive mood, from a subtle sense of ease all the way up to full-blown joy and elation. Where you'll fall on this spectrum depends a lot on your baseline mood state how you feel before you smoke , the product you use, and the composition of your endocannabinoid system. In addition to being a mood booster, cannabis is known for its stress-reducing properties.
In one study published by Psychopharmacology , cannabis consumers and non-consumers completed the same Maastricht Acute Stress Test and had their cortisol levels measured before and after. The cannabis users demonstrated a blunted reactivity to stress and their cortisol levels did not increase, suggesting that cannabis use may dull our reactions to stress.
Now, you may be thinking that getting stoned before studying will make you feel lazy and unproductive, despite any possible benefits. You're not alone — research in this area is seriously lacking, and some dated research suggests that weed can have negative effects on cognition. However, we know now that weed does not kill brain cells or make us dumber, and when used in moderation, it can possibly even offer some brain-protecting effects.
Though there's little research on using weed as a study aid, there is enough anecdotal evidence out there to say that getting stoned can make studying easier and more pleasant for some, especially when done correctly, and unproductive and unhelpful for others. There are very few things in life that are not made more enjoyable by smoking weed. Reading and thinking deeply, both of which are important when studying, are some of my favorite stoned activities.
The key to using weed as a study aid is not to overdo it. Before you pack the bong and crack open that textbook, it's important to find the right dosage and delivery method for maximum productivity. Weed affects everyone differently, and finding the perfect buzz for you may require a bit of trial and error.
The way you consume cannabis can have a major impact on how productive your high will be. Edibles and concentrates with high THC levels, for example, may be more potent for some consumers and too intense for a chill study smoke sesh.
