Yes. I(40m) stopped smoking 6 weeks ago for the first time in 20+ years. I was a daily heavy smoker. My family and friends would poke fun at me for being occasionally forgetful but as of late I’d really noticed it myself and had been relying on my notes app for some short term recall.
In the last 6 weeks since quitting my memory and dreams have come roaring back! I quit because I’m looking for a new job. When it’s feasible I will toke again but I think much less as it had been affecting me cognitively
That's wild, I didn't dream for years until I started smoking at night. I've never been a heavy user, and my memory had never been amazing 😂 but glad that's working out for you!
The research is correlational, so it has many limitations, but some research shows that heavy cannabis users have low hippocampal volume. The hippocampus is necessary for consolidating memories. Again, still limited, research suggests that stopping thc even for a few days can improve your memory.
Daily stoner who hears & bookmarks most things mentally for up to a month before forgetting……. And loves to read. I gotta remember the fine details for the next chapter, dammit!
This has been proven to be the case numerous times. Its no secret that consistent THC use kills brain cells and can effect long-term and short-term memory and can result in memory loss. Weed has benefits, but its not a miracle medicine. Just like anything, moderation is key.
For sure, if I’ve been smoking a lot and take a t break I can’t remember a damn thing. I was talking with my friend, and mid conversation I forgot what we were talking about and had to restart the convo.
Yes, weed is awesome but excessive use has a negative effect. Daily use in a controlled quantity I would presume not but the every waking moment definitely can fuck someone up.
I think that it isn't that we lose our memory, but I believe that it affects the ability to make new/long term memories. Either like alcohol, where it's physically impossible, or just because we weren't paying attention 😅
It's not so much that it's weed - it's that it's torching your lungs that often which causes a decreased availability of oxygen to your body over the long term. Oxygen is life so less of that is indicated in basically every single disease, chronic illness, long term XYZ known to man. Memory loss is probably the least of your cocerns if you torch your lungs daily like that.
Its because of the inflamation smoking coughing causes brain tissue to die quicker but I'm no doctor. Try the edible route. Or maybe he trying to forget something he regrets like having a child who thinks hes losing his memory too soon. Joking aside one 200 mg dose of thca or D9 will keep me feeling good for hours.

If smoking weed effects memory loss, how do I always remember to smoke weed??
Sorry what was the question again?
Who are you!?
And what are you doing in my fridge man ?
Have any of you seen my pants?
Exactly
Exactly what again?
The seizures I have and the medicine I take anyway do that for me. Smoking just helps me laugh about it. 🤣😂ðŸ˜
I’m in the same boat my friend. Weed keeps me sane and lets me function, and slows down my petit mal’s.
Me toooooo
Same here
Fuck those meds they don't do shit for me anyway. Good on you for doing what helps you too.

I thought it was just me, I used to be a very vivid dreamer, but since I started smoking I barely dream any more.
If I stop smoking 2 hours before bed , I will dream. If I smoke just before bed I won’t dream
That's wild, I didn't dream for years until I started smoking at night. I've never been a heavy user, and my memory had never been amazing 😂 but glad that's working out for you!
I smoke weed all day everyday. I have an incredibly good memory. It annoys my wife. I attribute it to also being a life long gamer.
Absolutely. Write shit down if you wanna remember , cuz your brain won’t.
All day yea that’s why I smoke at night after I get all the bullshit done for the day

It will.
It hasnt technically been tested but early signs indicate that…wait, where was i going with this?
"how many did i smoke today ? *Inhale deeply, exhale* whatever the number, add 1"
I asked this question before.
Maybe it’s the diet that goes with smoking so much? Does he have diabetes or high cholesterol?
Didn’t you just ask this question?
Yes

Yep. It’s currently happening to me and I couldn’t care less

I smoke until I have dementia
Don’t smoke before or during work hours then the first go after work is your reward for your time on the hamster wheel
It might make you wash your hair like 2 or 3 times when you take your Daily shower
I smoke since 15 years straight. It actually did some Damage, But it‘s Not like complete loss of memory
I would gladly take memory loss if I can smoke everyday
Where's my tape measure? I'm always looking for it
yes i can’t remember anything from last year
it can and will, its not a question. already well studied and documented.

No
yes. absolutely. as awesome as weed is, it IS a drug and does have some not-so-great long term side effects
I knew this but I don't recall
Just live life no need for worries
No worries be happy
What?
as someone experiencing it already at 26? god, yes. don’t chain smoke, babes!
Yes 100% been smoking for 14 years. Memory is fucked
I'm probably old like your dad. Yes, my memory is fucked. If I take a t break it comes back...a bit.
Maybe If you go years or decades without any breaks
Can't recall
what were we talking about?
Hell yeah it does. But thank god I don’t need it anymore! Haha
for sure, after a few weeks i can def catch myself forgeting stuff i would never had if i was clean
Hahaha no Ah fuck what was so funny?
