to be fair I think they are telling the truth; I really could not be bothered with my A-level maths as i started smoking in 6th form and did find it difficult to get my head round the concepts in spite of top grades at O-level (which I did at age 15) (although there was an amount of intense parental pressure that had burned me out as far as school was concerned and was a factor in me starting with cannabis in the first place); and I found the maths part of my Uni course hard going academically (although I am not that academic anyway!) though I could exceed the requirements for practical labs in computer science..
That said there is no need to roll back or abandon decrim in NL or anywhere else; just make cannabis age restricted for over 21s and that would solve a lot of the problems. Also Technical Universities in the Germanic countries are very exam-obsessed from what I’ve been told by their former students- plus not everyone goes up to University for a maths degree anyway…
