[Study] Smart People Are More Likely To Do Drugs

Watch this video and tell me what you think:





From my experience, some of the smartest people in my school did a ton of drugs and they still managed to get higher than a 4.0 average. Keep in mind, my high school was not a shitty one. It was ranked number 2 or 3 in the whole state.
It's oddly true all the smart nerds in our school do weed.. and all the other kids are against it.
I think a lot of the times is the smart students are the ones with open minds. So they try new things. Once they try new things, they start enjoying those new things and realize it helps them.
My reasons are for curiosity, I wonder how the state that the drug takes you to is so I want to find out.

If we want to talk about average drug users, let's talk all sides of them and not only two studies. Besides, he might be right about intelligence requiring stimulation, however the majority of drug users do it because their entourage do so. Moreover, being depressed and bored does NOT mean that you begin doing drugs. In that case every depressed person with means to get drugs would be doing drugs, that still has to be proven.
This video truly makes me laugh. He's talking as if drug users = smart people. Now, that may be true with some people, but teenagers doing drugs are not the geniuses of tomorrow - the clear majority as they're easily influenced -. Are smart people now submissive?
He seems to believe himself to be a higher force beyond the comprehension of us little, oh so little non-drug users. He should drop the ego and the pretentious tone, he's not a beautiful snowflake.

Watch the video. He explains everything. Not all smart people do drugs, and not all delinquents don't do drugs. It was a study over the course of 17 years.

The age of this study doesn't increase its credibility. Delinquents tend to do drugs more than smart people tend to do drugs. Also teenagers who are influenced by relatives who do drugs in the first place.

That guy isn't a prophet.

So you think the whole study is invalid?

It also supports that some drugs don't actually make you dumber... So that's good.

If they could mix weed with something that re-activates your award system in your brain.... People would get so much smarted and imaginative.
