Yeah me too. I don't know how much of my memory issues are my fault or the ganja's.
The best way to test this is to take a break. The first thing I notice, after about 2 weeks (YMMV), is my memory seems to improve dramatically. That and my perception of time seems to change - in general, things move slower/more sensory information fills the same amount of time - which I think is related to memory.
Now, the question becomes: Is that purely because I stopped smoking weed, or because I'm having a comparatively novel experience of my day to day activities - where the salience of things in your environment increases, which means it's easier to form and recall a memory of them? Or is it just that I'm eating better, getting more exercise, etc. as means to distract from wanting to smoke in the early break stages?
No idea. All I know is it's pretty sweet until (for me, at max so far) six months out when smoking seems like a great idea again.
