    If so tell what it effected, and did it come back to normal after you stop smoking, or is it permanent. Also lets be honest with one another! lets not all be like "Pot hasnt did anything to me dude" because were all stoners here!

    Pot hasn't affected my intelligence at all. The only thing that I've noticed a change in from when I started smoking is my memory and my will power.

    Ditto

    and when I stop smoking everything goes back to normal. But I find I like my personality alot better when I have a little bit of herb to smoke. The years leading up to me smoking I was always a worry wort. I would get worried about the dumbest things. Then I started smoking and realized life is too short to worry about every little detail. I notice if I take a break those worrysome feelings start to come back after a week or so.

    my intelligence, not at all when im high i can form thoughts easier and they are deeper than the usual everyday state of mind. memory, when im high it does , like ill be talking and forget why i started talking about the subject i was on or forget the point to the conversation haha.

    but socially it helps me, not the way alcohol loosens my inhibitions i just start to feel like a prune for being so shy haha, i can get in a good convo with anyone while high.

    Just my memory and concentration, and just while I'm high. Which is why I think it's good not to smoke a shit ton everyday, and to take breaks.

    My intelligence, no. My memory, a bit, but I had a bad memory since I was a kid. My concentration, depends on what and how much I smoke. I havent taken a break from smokiing since october, and only for 3 days. i was miserable, flighty, depressed.. I was not myself.

    yeah same for me. only memory. ESPECIALLY when im high. Like, if im listening to a song that i have, il recognize it, but i seem to NEVER remember the name of the song! lol its pretty funny. But thats when im high. When im sober i can remember my song names real easy. So its just memory i guess.

    On Friday, it will be three weeks since I've smoked. And, although I hate to say it, I've been much more productive at school. But there are so many confounding variables to consider that I'm not yet willing to attribute that to being "clean."

    Not really my intelligence; I can still be intellectual when I am high, in fact I could argue that I'm more introspective and intelligent if I'm really high. I just cannot get anything done if it needs to be done for school; papers are not fun to write when you're high!

    I'm takin a break until 420 after all the weed I have right now is gone (got about an eighth left).

    I began smoking like a pothead my second semester of my first year of college. four years later, i graduated cum laude (academic honors). if anything weed helps to see things in a different way. perhaps in ways that arent possible otherwise. every time i had to write a paper for a class, i would do most of it sober, but then go back to edit and revise while high. I got A´s on pretty much every one.

    my memory can be a little spotty sometimes, but for certain things. i´ll forget to bring something with me, i´ll forget to do something on a specific date (like call someone on their birthday), etc. in the end, i just remind myself to not take things so seriously, so it´s ok to forget to do something every now and then.
    but my long-term memory is really good. i can quote lines from movies and tv shows like nobody´s business.

    as far as my concentration... i think i go through cycles where i´ll be able to be very aware and concentrate fully on things, and other times i´ll be a little detached from the world and i´ll space out. there are a lot of times where i´ll just arrive at work (ridiculously stoned) and have to deal with something right away and for a long time. i´ve gotten pretty good at doing that. maybe it was all the practice.

    Why do you guys bullshit? you know it's not just memory...It made me lazier than I was, but I still meet my deadlines and stuff jsut that I procrastinate way more now cus i tell myself i'mma smoke and it'll help me write but it just makes me not want to write and be locked on the couch watching tv or i'm stuck playing video games gettin killed over and over by someone online in Call of Duty. haha.

    It fucked up my balance. Like i realize i used to be very balanced when I walk, play basketball, and other stuff. but now it's like i'm falling off balance sometimes. take a wierd step when walking or standing.

    I'm more paranoid...like to a sense where i'm always looking out even tho i know nothings is gonna happen. but it is actually what I wanted and helps me personally since I'm too understanding with people. Now i'm more aware of the negatives. which can be a negative in my personality but i take it as a positive.

    I rather be alone than with other people. maybe it's just me tho, i always like seclusion.

    I am not that well dressed and groomed anymore. I usually cut my hair everyweek but now it's like every 3 weeks. haha.

    I eat too much but still don't gain no wieght, probably cus i eat only when high and that's once a day. haha.

    I can't cum as fast as i used to, my girl sometimes like quickies.

    I am more hippieish but not really. I guess i got hippy ways! haha.

    on a different subject, why are hippies not understanding with hood-ish people?
    just curious...cus alot of you that i talk to bash hiphop and ghetto's like you know what's really going on and the mindstate. but whatever, that's a new subject.

    it hasnt affected my intelligence at all, still getting straight a's. but it does affect my concentration and attention span. like just a second ago where it says intelligence, i accidentally put memory. lol. its not permanent though. it would go away if i quit for a while.
    on the flip side it does help my sociability and overall confidence when ive smoked some bud recently.

    Last semester I smoked a shit ton because my neighbors doubled as my dealers and were more than generous matching me, and for the first time weed really did affect my concentration. No biggie, though. I just cut back for a bit and everything went back to normal.

    Interesting side note... I've since gone back to doing a lot of drugs, including frequent acid trips and I've been pulling As out of my ass.
