Now, pardon us for being a touch sceptical about this one, but a new survey claims to have proof that smoking weed every day makes you get better grades at uni.

In our own – unscientific – investigations into the subject, we found that it generally tends to make you not show up to lectures and wear really terrible clothing, but there you go.

The surveys – sponsored by, er, weed company Inhale Labs – found that people who smoke every single day get higher grades, according to Alternet.

Alternet suggests that weed may make people better students as it means they have fewer hangovers – but can that really make sense?

Mike Hunter, founder and CEO of Inhale Labs, says, ‘As part of Inhale Labs’ Cannabis in College study, a series of surveys shows that daily or near-daily marijuana use among college students is accelerating faster than ever before, reaching 10.1% in 2016, up from 5.9% just two years ago.



The survey found that students who admitted to caning weed every day actually had a higher GPA (grade point average) than non-smokers.

Hunter said, ‘The survey also found that the average GPA of daily marijuana users in college was 3.2, higher than the overall national average of 3.1.’
