This has gotta be the most annoying side-effect of weed. Just randomly, I forget shit. I'll be talking to my friend about random shit, and forget what something was called. It would then become some kind of bizarre form of charades where he tries to guess the answer based off my description. When Im stoned, I come up with the greatest ideas. There so perfect, so awesome, I get so caught up in how friggen cool they are I forget what exactly the idea was. Damn I hate it when this happens... I spend like 10 minutes racking my brain trying to remember...but once your past that instant recall, your FUCKED...
yes yes..it blows. haha. i actualy just noticed the first time today where i actualy was talking to my friend a few times and i would just like randomly forget what i was talking about or what something was called. but hey i think i did that even before i smoked haha. so who knows. p.s write down your ideas! thats what i do. but then, sometimes when i write it down, and i read it the next day, its just WAY to messy to even understand it.
There is a story about an English writer who ingested lots of opium back like 120 years ago. After a session he would recall that while he was high he'd have the most amazing revelations. Stunning thoughts of utmost importance but he'd always forgot by the time he came down. So he left pads and pens lying around the next night he got high. The next morning, sober, he remembered that he had had one of those thoughts the night before and noticed that he had written something down this time. He rushed over and read what he had written: "this room smells funny". I too used to have thoughts which seemed to be stunning breakthroughs, when I was stoned. I too left paper and pen handy, and found out that the idea's SEEMED important--when I was high. But weren't really.
my damn ex girlfriend would always remind me saying, youve said that twice or youre memory is so bad. So i said its cause i smoke freaking herb OK!!!! No i didnt i told her it was bad genes
i have always had a shocking memory... weed didnt make it worse though. i can NEVER remember names. EVER. at a party i always feel so fucking awkward(spell?) because i cant talk to people because i forgot their name and its rude to ask again.
on occasions, ive managed to remember what me and a particular friend were talking about.. it took a few minutes but see with weed ive found the memories are in your mind, but you just cant acess them directly. you can recal them, but you cant concieve them spontaneously. if someone reminds you, you can usualy (pretty much always, with weed) recall it happening, depending on how stoned you are. you cal also remind yourself just by thinkning hard enough. but its to be reserved only for the most imporant discussion recal, and you tend to forget again afterwards anyway
dont you ever truelly have a stunning breakthrough though? i write things down and I always learn a lot from writing them. Ive never been dissapointed in something ive written down actually
haha, that happened to today to me. me and my boyfriend were driving to one of his firends' house, and its next to a hospital. me: hey, hey, doesnt he live next to.... oh dammit, come on, next to, ya know, that thing... that thing over there, come on..!! my boyfriend: the hospital??! me: yeah! yeah! thats it... damn, im stoned....
I have always had an awsome memory... but since ive been smokin the ganja, my short tearm memory has gone to hell... wether its remembering where i had JUST put my cell phone, what exactly I went down stairs for, or what the name of the place we just went to was. Its getting me really pissed off... but hey, its worth the sacrifice if you ask me. Thanks to my bad short tearm memory, I lost my stash a month or so ago, because I forgot where I had just put it the night before... Ive checked everywhere, its no where to be found... my best guess would be my parents found it or something, cuz my dumb ass probably ended up forgetting it on the kitchen table or something, lol.... its shit like that. Have a good one...
