Hows your memory?

[konflikt]

no problem until 2 weeks ago... was great infact....been on valium for a week or two and noticed it has been a lil off... i'll go to do something and by the time i get there i'll forget what im there for.....

I personally wouldn't be too worried about weed slowing down my thought processes, studies show that people who are smarter or use their brain more often are more likely to develop dementia later on in life, so I'm more than happy to give my brain a little rest.

 

I have noticed over time, "bigger" words that I commonly use are just non-existent, so I have to completely restructure sentences sometimes . However, this only happens maybe once a month, if that, so its not a big deal. I definitely have a higher quality of life when I'm using weed and the positives out weigh the negatives by a substantial amount.

An unfortunate ramification, I'm afraid. However personally, I've found that Sativa consumption, as opposed to Indica consumption, to be the less influential of the two when regarding short term memory loss. It may just be me, though if your stressing over it, it may be worth considering

 

Added, Indica highs tend to be a little more uplifting & motivating, increasing optimistic outlooks when re' "the only thing that i really look forward to, it makes me happy"

 

(apologies if I'm stating/suggesting concepts your already familiar with)

 

Hope that helps

I think that this will differ from person to person with how they use pot. I would think those that sit down and watch cartoons and eat 5 bags of chips may end up with worse memory than those who sit down and read a history book, for example. Your brain needs to be trained though, and I would say if someone sat down to watch cartoons and eat chips all day REGARDLESS of if they were stoned or not might have a detrimental effect on their brain function and memory. My short term memory was pretty bad even before I started smoking regularly so I can't comment to well on that. I did notice that after taking LSD my short term memory was absolutely shocking, but that's a different story!
