    It's the side effect of weed. But it isn't the memory loss, it's a result of "selected attention". This effect is about completely losing attention to the things, that you're not interested in. You just pays attention only to the things you are interested in when you're stoned

    that's how weed is. after being told drugs are bad all my life, i researched weed before trying it and found it has no bad physical effects so i tried it and fell in love, and i smoked all day everyday, until i realized it was affecting my brain. weed does have mental effects such as having trouble remembering things if you smoke a lot. once you lay off it for a while your memory and mental health will be restored to normal.

    i smoked for 4 years almost every day and have been off weed for over half a year and my memory gets better everyday altho my general understanding is fucked like im always asking what was that i didn't hear you or sometimes i get confused for a secound for the littleless stupid things and what coqpit77 said about selected attention it so true i can remember anythink from a video i played while stoned but ask me about school work and i have no idea unless i found it interesting

    You just forget shit that doesn't matter. If you don't like it don't smoke as much. I promise you're fine and will recover.

    Me too (a little bit), if I smoke a lot of it the day before. I don't forget whole days though - that's not right (wtf?), just stuff like little details that really don't matter too much anyway. For example, I might forget to pick up milk at the store when I go grocery shopping. I keep lists now though, it's easier.

    It sure improves long-term memory though! ;)

    That's the main side effect of weed
