    Well, i have always loved smoking and doing fun things that require concentration, and i will always love marijuana, but its starting to get to me about how it effects the mind long term. I used to do it hardcore, and after that phase, i noticed that my mind was not running as fast as it used to run. after about a year of not smoking nearly as much, i noticed that i started to think better again, but still not quite 100%. I feel like the more i smoke now, the more i am sacraficing my memory and concentration, and i love those two things a little bit more than i love weed. I know it doesn't effect me that much from smoking like once a day, but i worry about it even effecting me a little at this point. Am i alone on this, or do other people notice their concentration not what it used to be?

    I dunno, I pay attention to what I want to and ignore what I don't. I would say my recollection of words as I want to say them is slow but then again that's why we got other people around to help us with that, it happens to us all, smokers and non. I look at it like this, if you need your brain to be on point then don't smoke, quit completely because if you smoke a little you will always crave it and if you don't smoke you can spend your time being a lightning fast genius, then again everybody is different and I see people like Bill Mahr get smarter as they get older and he still smokes.

    Exactly.

    I think it is being more aware of the bullshit.

    Yeah, it seems like it doesn't help your concentration skills at all, but marijuana is a part of my life now, i need to work something out. I have an idea since weed is best when you do it hardcore (imo) I will do it as much as i can during one month for every year. When i'm like 55 and older i will do it every day as much as possible.

    Lol.. That comment made me understand myself in a way that i diddn't even realize before. I used to get high as fuck and drive as fast as i could just because i love going fast when i'm high. I guess you can call that irresponsible lol. I think you can maintain responsibility when you are high though, you just have to think. But the more i would get high, the harder it gets to think. I also love playing video games and i haven't been driving as much lately because i don't have to worry for my life and car and pay for gas money. I wouldn't mind as much about the worrying about my life (I always make sure other lives never are endangered) but i still have alot of life to live since i'm young, so i decided i shouldn't try to go AS fast as i can go, thats when i risk my life a little bit lol.
