I need a direct, no B.S. answer from someone who's either been smoking marijuana for a long time, or is substantially knowledageable about its effects.

Does marijuana only cause memory problems *while* you're high, or do these effects continue even when you're not? I think I remember reading that it takes a few weeks of absitenence from smoking to fully recover your short term memory... is this true or just a myth?

I've been smoking for six years and I seriously think this "marijuana causes short-term memory loss" this is complete bullsh*t. I think it's just one of those things that people just believe because they've been told it's true for so long. Everyone forgets things! You ever see people that raise their hand in class to ask a question and then say, " I frogot what I was gonna say." It's a fact of life that you will forget things and there is a reason it's called your "short-term" memory... because you aren't going to remember things for long. Millions of people forget where they put their keys everyday, and they aren't all potheads. Your short-term memory isn't meant to retain a huge amount of information, and it's normal to froget what your were thinking thirty seconds ago. It's all about the power of suggestion. They tell you that you frogot something because you smoke pot, so most people believe them without an argument. One must think that something so great might have its drawbacks. I contest myth.

If your friend is already dead, and being eaten by vultures, I think it's okay to feed some bits of your friend to one of the vultures, to teach him to do some tricks. But only if you're serious about adopting the vulture.

When I am stonned I have memories problems, forgetting thoughts in mid sentence, loosing my glasses on my face......but after I come down the memories issues don't persist.
