will my memory ever come back?

[trippin_hippy]

when someones been smokin for a long time and t heir memory becomes just crap, is there any way of getting it back? would it become back to normal over time? thx!

My advice would be to take a break and stop using marijuana and other drugs for a period of time, as well as eat a balanced diet.

My memory got messed up when I was smoking all day everyday, after a extended break my memory came back.

^ yea that. herb just forks your short term but you can get most of that function back by cutting out the smoke. dunno, i find that i only forget shit that's not important anyway like what i was discussing with a friend previously. that always happens to me and people act surprised that i don't remember and that makes me laugh.

 

[burn out]

my memory never fully came back even after a year with no marijuana or other drugs. however, the impairment is small and i've learned to live with it. my memory is still better than that of my mother's for example, who never abused marijuana.

Are you guys eating multiple servings of whole grains everyday? Complex carbohydrates are important for the functioning of your brain. Complex carbohydrates are the fuel for your brain, that's one of the reasons Atkin's and other fad diets are bad for you.

short term gets affected... sure you lose your keys and forget where you park your car occasionally.. so do people who have never toked.

I think it is all in your head.. you really don't need a strong memory other than to study.. The things you are probably forgetting aren't that important, you will remember the things that you want to... e.g. you meet a group of people, one who you find sexy.. you will remember their name yet probably no one elses

Jk, but yes, your memory will "come back."

Yeah, I've found mine to come back within 2 weeks of not smoking.


I've found if i smoke 1-2 times a week my memory doesn't even go...

ive found piracetam to be helpfull.i took it every day for a couple of months with choline as well and have definately noted an increase in my short term memory ability,as well as helping my concentration.

i'm glad its gone. it was always naggin me to do shit... bitch.

I only can't remember things when I'm really high. If I blaze a relatively small amount I don't get wrecked enough to forget things. Actually, when I'm sober I tend to have a hard time remaining focused. A little bud keeps my brain from wondering too much, but maybe that's just me.

Anyhow, in my experience becoming a little bit fuzzy headed, that dazed feeling, comes from too much of a good thing. Try getting a dugout and a cigbat and smoking just one or two little pinchies, then waiting for 20 mintues or so before deciding if you need more. You will save a lot of money and maintain a more functional high.

lol

 

[meet the decline]

if you quit smoking pot, but who wants to do that?
i'm trying to make it a habit of writing everything down

 

[artic]

^lol, Not a bad idea.

 

[phactor]

Yes it improves. If you have been puffing daily, take a break and after about 4 to 5 days you will begin to notice that you are thinking clearer.

Or just pack you piece with less. Take one or two hits, then wait to see if you need more. Good advice though. I usually only take 1 to 3 hits at the most. If your herb is good that is all you should need.

Nope, it'll never come back. But don't despair, at least you won't remember this post in an hour.

^Teehehehe :D Nice....

I reccomened fish oil, preferablymone forumlated with a higher concentration DHA to EPA (what I take is 100mg EPA/500mg DHA- which is quite concentrated indeed.). No shit, at work I am constantly being asked to find certain obsucre-ish items (I work at an organic food/health store) which I often forget instantaenously. This gives me a heap of anxiety to be truthful. I have noticed that, if I take fish oil regularly for several days, I don't even notice this at all. I'm quite convinced it does help your memeory significantly, even when your still smoking. FWIW, I'm prescibed valium which pretty much erases short term memory, plus smoking, so at times I am almost reatrded seeming in my forgetfullness. Fish oil, high in DHA, has helped me trmemdously. Get enteric coated for no fishy taste and your done. Onecan also get more conscinetious types, sourced from sustaianable fisheries if one should so choose. I would suggest to most smokers to try such a formulation of omega-3 fish oils...

 

[imnakedrightnow]

this is actually a bad problem i have

im horrible with remembering people like i have people calling me and they tell me who they are and im like....ohhhhh high Erica and how do i know you. some people actually get mad at me for this but what can i say i meet alot of people and smoke all day everyday dont plan on quitting soon

 

[amanda_eats_pandas]

After a month of not smoking my memory came back and yours should too with a break.

When I couldn't remember what I did a week ago when something fairly big happened that was a bad sign. But its getting back to what it was so don't worry Trippin Hippy.
