what all drugs did you take? currently you are taking marijuana,i would recommend that you quit it completely . drugs usually have effect on mental performance,attention and concentration till they are consumed. once you will quit them it would take some time to be back on your normal self and academic performance. get some help of a psychiatrist if you facing any problem in quitting all drugs it will definately help you
