Bobo, I am going to direct you to my previous post. Pot destroys your wisdom score, not your intelligence.
There's a guy who was in my software engineering group this past semester. He smokes pot all the time. All talks about is how he wants to go home and smoke a bowl because he's so bored at school. He gets straight A's. We had to explain our system architecture every goddamn day because he'd forget some of it due to the fact that he got blitzed the night before and didn't care about ironing out some details.
You can't have a decent conversation with him because he gets bored, and gets confused by the simplest concepts. I spent a few hours last week explaining what a bounded buffer was to him.
"Blah blah blah. Read the notes, because there's a good diagram of this in there," I said.
"I don't need to read the notes, I understand this now," he said.
*two minutes later*
"Um, could you explain that to me again? I'm bored. This assignment is stupid. I don't want to think about it anymore."
*two minutes later*
"Hey, I just thought of this: why don't we use this <insert complicated data structure here>?"
In high school, I knew guys in graphic arts who were amazing designers, but they all dropped out because school was soooo booooorring.

But even if you do believe that, which I do think its not really good for the mind(I wouldn't go as far is to say it makes you retarded), thats still nothing compared to what prolonged use of alcohol and tobacco does.

Do you see me arguing for excessive tobacco and alcohol consumption? Even then, tobacco and alcohol destroy your body, not your mind.
