I have decided to put the reefer down. Just until today I have denied any negative side effects, but today at work I just realized how slow I am. My boss probably thinks I'm autistic. I have been smoking a lot lately, and especially last night, when I got really high. I have noticed that my short term memory is COMPLETELY GONE. I work at a coffee shop, and if someone orders a drink I immediately have to ask them what they ordered, because I've already forgotten, and I repeat the size and continually mess up their orders. I've always been somewhat of a space-case, but never this much. Has anyone else had this problem? The reefer getting in the way of life, or a job, even if you don't smoke the same day you work?
Never really had any problems. I have ADHD though, and weed has often been the source of heightened concentration for me. It helps a lot.
I usually concentrate better when I am stoned...and I dont have ADHD!! Maybe you just needed a wake'n'bake to get your brain started!
i work at an ice cream place and im always forgetting what sizes people ordered, what flavor ice cream, and the toppings etc. usually everything they order needs to be repeated twice... and i can pretty much blame it largely on weed, but i dont really care.
i mean, yes, i do, but its in no way debilitating. Usually it's more like I'll have trouble remembering a specific detail, but can talk about the thing in general... so I guess the coffeeshop/ ice cream store stuff makes sense.
Yeah, it can mess with your memory i guess. But MAN, you msut be smoking a shitload! Ive never had it be THAT bad, and i smoked everyday over the summer last year (while working at an ice cream place), and I had no problems at my job remembering. Occasionally, if Im telling a story and get interrupted, Ill have to be reminded what I was talking about to continue telling the story, but thats not so often.
Dude, what the fuck is up with everyone working at fuckin ice cream stores and coffee shops, man? Matter of fact, I am applying at a coffeeshop today. Must be a stoner thing. lol
my memory is pretty bad, though in a different sense... my immediate short-term memory is good, i remember stuff well unless im actually stoned at the time (i worked at a pizza place this summer, no probs). if ive been smoking all day, at the end of the day its hard to remember exactly what i've been doing, but it eventually comes back. my memory isnt too bad right now, just sometimes i have to think hard about an idea so it doesnt fade off.
I was going to comment on this thread but by the time I came to post this reply I have completly forgotten what its about? Damn my short term memory loss
