Or if someone calls me and asks me to do something for him by the moment i hang up it's completely escaped my mind
To avoid fucking up your working memory, at least as bad, don't smoke before, or close to bed time. It inhibits your brains ability to reach REM sleep as well. REM is vital for your short term memory. I still smoke before i go to sleep. I don't really care. Pot comes at a price. And the price is worth it for me!
Short term memory loss... I lose everything too, but I'm a disorganized, distracted person in the first place. Those types of things wouldn't matter in a better world anyways.
Well, that's the thing. It's not that you don't reach REM sleep, it's just that you delve deeper than that, but I suppose you knew that.
my short term SUCKS what was i thinking about 5 minutes ago?? no idea i think it was something about laundry lolllllll and then theres the anxiety and paranoia that ive always had but bud makes it worse other than that its all goooooddd yo
Fucking Bipolar Disorder and Pot don't mix very well. That's my biggest problem. I only suffered from memory loss while high. My throat never really hurt that bad. I agree with Taylor. I hate people that get drunk every weekend but think pot is terrible and anyone who does it is stupid.
headaches.... I always get the best focus and short term memory when im high... otherwise i just slack off all day...
Short Term Memory Loss - I smoke almost everyday and I went from being the sharpest, keenest mother fucker to forgetting where I placed my shoes when I arrived. Red Eyes - I have perfect eye sight and use clear eyes but these sons of bitches still look like thick red spider webs. Dry Mouth - I always have an Arizona Ice Tea or water with me but it seems like I have an endless thirst that cannot be quenched. Munchies - I'm a pretty lean and skinny guy but the amount of food I eat when I get high opposed to sober is just ridiculous. The trick is stock up on your favorite fruit / vegetables and then eat the fuck out of them afterwards.
Assuming you weren't an idiot before you started smoking, if you quit for even a few days, your memory skills will return. I have smoked off and on for almost two years, and while I have some lapses in memory during periods of heavy smoking, my overall memory is still just as ridiculously good as it ever was, if not better, because I'm more aware of how it works.
information retention becomes harder, but you can help that out by taking ginkgo biloba. As a college student I swear by the shit.
Really pal? Was this thread really necessary? Of course it's not harmless. Nothing is. Too much air can kill you. Drinking too much water can kill you. Everything is bad in excess.
I think this matter depends on certain people. I can tell you right now what I had for lunch last thursday.I guess it works differetnly for some people, but my memory is amazing!
Ya, I've been smoking regularly for about 4 years now and I can honestly say that my short term memory has not been affected. In fact, I find myself forgetting about school assignments and things like that a hell of a lot less these days.
