my short-term memory is fucked up..

I've been smoking like a lot and daily, for the past month and I really feel like I cant remember shit.
It's getting out of hand. Today I had to pick a freind up from a place near my home, I already went there several times but today I couldnt remmber shit. I eventually got lost, and came very late to the appointment.
I think I'm Getting mad I also started talking to my self alot lately. Like I immagine that one of my friends is with me and I'm talking to him\her.I also use this method to plan how could I win an argument with one of my friends...
really sux.

 

the forgetting sht sux, but the last part about talking to yourself and going through arguments and whatnot, i used to do that long before i started smoking weed. whenever i feel that the argument may come up, i go through it, sometimes speaking ot myself, based on the arguments i believe my friends would use. lol, perhaps i'm crazy, but at least it's not the weed

 

when you imagine your friends are with you those arent your freinds thats your chakra that happens to me all the time

 

Lol, I am really happy to know that at least it's not the weed...
but still the forgetting part sux.
I also find myself dazed alot.

 

Your what? chackra? Could you be a little more specific on the subject plz?
I'm very intrested.

 

I take advantage of having short-term memory - helps me to live each day as it comes and forget some of the deeper shit I was in.I find it helps to excersise the useful parts of your memory though - like remembering numbers,names and passwords n stuff - linking to mental pictures really works.As for talking to people who not there well - I talk to myself alot - but I actually put time aside to go and do it at weekends - usually on a hill - its kind of an organised personal madness.The last time I did it unconsciously was about 20 years ago when I got drunk,stoned,and sniffed a load of adhesives in some kids house at a party we'd gatecrashed.Walking up the road I kept repeating myself - and not realising it.that was pretty bad

 

my memory isnt that good either, but its okay. most things that happen to me i dont really want to remember anyways. i have been smoking for years and i know for a fact my memory was fine before i started smoking pot. but i have done other drugs so i dunno. none as much as pot though.
my mom has the same problem. she has always smoked pot for a long time. when i lived with her & i left the house to walk to the store or the park or something i would have to write it down instead of tell her because she knew she wouldnt remember where i went.

 

stop for a few days, or a week. if all is well after that, then the weed is just causing some lingering effects. if not, then it's something else.

could be stress, or just a fear that your memory is messed up even though it isn't.

 

yeh thinking about other people and conversations is something i always did but it started more after ive been smoking- most processes involving come sort of creative imput have lol

thanks man but please, last thing we need are those stupid myth fact things

who cares if theres no convincing evidence? in normal circumstances in uncontrolled conditions, stoners in general become lazy and have diminished memory

 

lol, i thought my memory was getting bad. i usually forget exactly which day little things happened on (if i hung out with a person on sunday or monday, or whether someone phoned me on a specific day). but that sounds pretty intense, man. try to smoke like 3/4 or 1/2 as much as you already do.

 

This is not here

 

I wouldn't say that all stoners have a bad memory except maybe when they first started getting high. But after a while of smoking every day and doing the same routine your memory is as good as it ever was, well at least mine still is. I always had good memory though.

 

Fuck, I forget shit like that all the time. People are just used to it by now, no problem. Keep tokin' brother... and fuck those lame ass myth facts or whatever..... because.... I don't have lung cancer, or empyasema, or brain damage yet, so fuck it.. I might as well keep smoking it up....

 

could be true, but since I smoke everyday, theoretically, i am always under the effect of mj.
Meaning that I dont give my body enough time to dismantel all the effects.

 

I used to blame little things I used to forget on pot but I guess I either realized or convinced myself that I could remember shit and its worked for me ever since. I have a great memory and get good grades and shit so idk. As for the talking to yourself, I think you're losing your mind.

 

could be...
but it seems I'm not the only one
