Weed/Marijuana - taking before giving presentation

[err0r]

If you're nervous when giving speeches/presentations to a large class in school/uni, will taking weed relax you? But then, you would also lose concentration?

:confused:

I don't know about Weed AND Marijuana. I'd just take the weed.

Or not.

Have you ever felt depersonalized? From my experience, weed + other people who are not high but may perhaps be guessing I'm high = anxiety and depersonalization followed by a sudden loss of memory and an anxiety attack.

That's just MY experience. It might work for you ;)

it made me get great grades in class participation, but flunk on assignments. im not sure its really dependent on the person smoking the weed. if you cant handle yourself in a public setting when your high don't smoke. if you can excell at debate when stoned lite up and start shooting questions at the teacher's.

Oh and sometimes if the teachers are all cops like in my situation they think its funny when you come in not high to class. I had a fat sgt who taught me introduction to crime scene forensics, who asked me infront of the whole class.
"Joe, you feeling alright your not your chipper self, you didn't hit the bong this morning or somthing?"
to which i replyed,
"no sir i smoked but it was real early and im coming down."
he without batting an eye said,
"maybe you should be smoking in the parking lot instead of playing hacky sack on the quad."
to which i said,
"well that would be easier if the Campus police weren't watching me for felonious spiting."
we all had some laughs and he let us out early, on the way out he joked with me about how he used to smoke in the bathrooms in high school.

For me the only real problem is not being able to stand still. And yea, a little stammering and perhaps some off-color remarks.

Any school presentation in the morning in the past 2 years I've done high.

i find that doing presentations sober is always the best idea.

if you are really nervous you should just practice your speech with a few close friends.

I dont know about that. Whenever i'm high in a school environment, I always feel sort of paranoid and feel like everybody know's i'm high but in reality, nobody knows. It's all up to you but I would recommend practicing the presentation while high before you actually do the real thing if it is really important. That way you can gauge how comfortable you'll feel.

It completely depends on your tolerance.
If you can handle it, if you are secure with yourself etc, then you're on...


If not, smoke some more herb for a few more months until you can handle it.

personally I take a line, or drink a few shots.

Never sketched me out. I also didnt mind being in front of a large group, grow some balls.

i'd have a nervous breakdown. my classes are like 400 people

Thanks everyone :)

Personally I think trying to do a presentation while high would be an awful idea. I would freak out/do really shitty. Other people might be fine though.

This.

You'd be better off with a drink or two or a Xanax to chill you out.

If you really want to smoke to ward off the anxiety, though, just a few hits would be enough to do that but keep you functional. Smoke your bowl's resin if you can.

Roll a jonit, take one or two hits from it and put it out.

That is probably all you need to get you relaxed for your big presentation tomorrow.
