   Lol what fraud? These people have never guaranteed that they would turn these children into world-beaters. They'll say these are underfunded schools and that you're attacking the people who actually showed up to help these kids.

    These are basic statistical errors you're making, which likely means either: 1. You've been enrolling in programs with a low barrier to entry 2. You've smoked away whatever you did learn.

    That's certainly one story, but the more plausible one is that people who are more productive --and have more productivity to lose-- are less likely to smoke marijuana. Equivalently, marijuana smokers are generally less productive.
