I have been smoking about 2-4 times a week for a solid month now. I am wondering, I have had great loss of short term memory, and dizzy spells sometimes. I also forget alot of normal things like spellings, vocabulary, stuff like that. I can never think of the right word i wanna say anymore. If i quit, will i regain all this?

I sometimes find myself having trouble thinking of a word after I've smoked. It's never anything serious though.

I don't think marijuana would cause dizzy spells. It can cause slight deficits in short term memory, of course the longer you go with out smoking the less it will affect you. You won't have any permanent changes after smoking for a month.

Why don't you try quitting and see what happens?

cuz its too much fun to quit. I tried but i cant resist. I just have more trouble thatn usual with memory and school related stuff

Higher Logic

The "memory loss" experienced with marijuana is strictly short term, once you stop smoking everything comes back as normal. One thing I noticed from the opposing side is that they say marijuana causes short-term memory loss...well, duh, that's true obviously, short-term meaning while you are high. It's like drinking, you experience the same effects but once the hangover is over and you stop for a couple days things return to normal (except with alcohol you actually are killing brain cells).

It's not like you are going to forget how to spell and not have a lexicon anymore (see, I still remember big words)

When you know that using marijuana messes up your life (like interfering with school) and you keep doing it anyway, you have a real problem and need to deal with it.

Drugs make great servants. They make terrible masters. You've got to decide who's controlling whom.

great quote did you make it up?

It's derived from "The rational mind makes a great servant but a terrible master." I think that's from Ram Dass (formerly Richard Alpert, psychologist and colleague of Tim Leary), but I'm not sure.
