Anyone else recall those classmates in high school who smoked a lot of dope and received the highest grades in school?

4 of the top 10 (measured by GPA) students in my 450 student senior high school class were pretty serious potheads. 25 years later, the 3 that I have kept up with are doing quite well. And 2 of them still smoke pot.

That's odd. Most heavy pot users turn out to be failures in life, never achieving higher education. They become welders, construction workers, auto mechanics, or work for the city, and become union members, whining to the government about legalizing pot. In fact pot and all things about it are their only intrest. There is always the odd exception of course.

Most I know are either dead, losers, unemployed most of the time, divorced, drink alot, are half bald with graying ponytails, And IF they own a home, it's not much of one, with weeds in the poorly kept patchy lawn, at least one car parked for years to the side of the driveway with a transmission removed and tires missing, and they have no interest in anything in life except watching TV while their kids are out breaking into other peoples cars and stealing stereos and vandalizing other peoples property. The rest are on welfare or in prison for various offenses.

Are you sure that it wasn't one of those "special classes"? Odd that the pot heads would actually be smarter than the rest of the class. It doesn't say much for your communities' gene pool.
