So my friend has this memory problem...

My friend Rachael told me today that she thinks she has a short term memory problem from smoking weed so much. I laughed at first, but she's really serious about this and scared.

She smokes pretty much everyday, and drinks pretty often, too.
Last weekend she went out to a party and had some beers. She said she can't remember ANYTHING from the night, as if she blacked out. Then, last night she drank probably 7 beers, and was the same exact way. She said she woke up in the morning at her boyfriends apartment, wondering how the hell she got there.. and wondering what happened last night.

Before any of you say that she probably blacked out from drinking, she is and always had been able to handle her alcohol. 7 beers definitely wouldn't make her black out that bad. She didn't smoke while she was drinking or right before she was drinking either.

She or I don't know if this problem is from alcohol, or from smoking weed.. but she would like some answers. I figured I'd ask you guys, cause everyone here is all-knowing.

So what do ya'll think?

 

Short term memory loss is actually the only negative symptom i believe weed has on you. but as far as blacking out? I have no idea. I've heard of this when people get smashed or mix pills and liqour but never weed and a few beers. Maybe something in her body is changing to cause this reaction? I just took a chemistry class and that shit amazed me on so many levels. I would suggest she lay off the drank for a while and see if it still happens when she only smokes. expirement with controlled variables lol. A person can also develop new allergies at any second so that could be it too.

 

she doesn't black out from smoking, though..
its just when she drinks, now. it's really weird.
but she thinks that weed has something to do with it.


i told her not to smoke at all today..
and then when she drinks tonight just see what happens

 

When I combine fairly large amounts of alcohol with weed things do not turn out well.

The other night I smoked several bowls of Sour Diesel and then played a few games of beer pong. Apparently I was in and out of it for a while but I eventually passed out watching TV. I don't really recall playing pong.

 

yeah, smoking weed and alcohol usually makes my friend pretty crazy too aha
but the times she blacked out, she hasn't been high AND drunk. just drunk

 

hmm weird

 

But really.. I have no fuckin' clue its hard to say what the cuase may be.

 

The blackouts are due to alcohol consumption as for the memory loss it's probably a combination of both.

You should google alcoholism and read about the symptoms and effects of alcohol and you'll find that blackouts are among them.

 

lol.. my friend is not an alcoholic, and i am aware that blackouts are common when you're drinking, but not when you've only had 6 or 7 beers in you.

 

I'm not saying she's an alcoholic but she is using alcohol, correct me if I'm wrong but I think blackouts can occur from small amounts of alcohol. Google for the effects of alcohol.

 

well yeah, i'm sure they can.
but that has never happened to me friend before from drinking that little of alcohol

 

This is a problem your having isnt it?

 

The boy-friend drugged one of the 7 beers??

 

Is she a light-weight?

 

lmao this isn't my problem, i swear!!

@turkey: lmao i wouldn't doubt it if he did that

@lucjl: i've seen this same girl face a bottle of vodka.. she isn't a light weight.
