I use cannabis to help me study and retain information.

While everyone’s endocannabinoid system responds differently to cannabis use, cannabis has been a secret weapon in my educational arsenal.

 

As an international student paying 25k a semester, I was always looking for ways to cut down on educational fees.

 

I wrote to the academic review committee at the University of Guelph, Ontario Agricultural College. To double my course load per semester for the same 25k.

 

The committee asked me if I’d like to kill myself as this is not something they recommend that students do.

 

That very same year five students committed suicide on campus, which was heart breaking.

 

I told the committee that I am funding my own education, my mum was murdered and my dad was in jail growing up. If I wanted to kill myself I’d do it long time ago.

 

I was asking to double my course load on merit and asked they should review my grades and grant me based on that capability.

 

I was successful in my appeal and was granted permission to do the impossible, double course load per semester until I graduate.

 

I smoked cannabis to aid and abetting my memory retention capabilities and capacities.

 

In record time, I graduated 🎓 for less than a fraction of the cost the average international students would normally pay.

 

Since graduating I’ve occupied executive management roles throughout corporate Canada in the horticulture, silviculture and cannabis industries.

 

My story serves as a testament to the diverse pathways individuals navigate in pursuit of education, resilience, and success.

 

While my experience may not be a universal solution, it underscores the importance of recognizing and embracing unconventional strategies that align with individual strengths and circumstances.

 

Have you ever utilize cannabis to assist you in overcoming challenges?
