 Smoking marijuana on a regular basis definitely effects your memory. When I used to smoke 24/7, I didn't think it did anything to me. After some time I finally realized that it is the reason why my boss tells me 3 times to do something and I still forget. When you are "addicted" to something like that, it is hard to see the truth about it.

 Physically Crippled people use a crutch or a cane to help them walk!
Mentality Crippled or challenged use pot as the same to aid they no matter what they say IT IS A CRUTCH they rely on!
From what I've seen it tends to make some people nod out!
ANYONE who feels it would help them in understanding "Absolute Zero" or "Magnetic Physics" COME ON DOWN!
If you use ANY drug, it is a cane or a crutch for your mental aid, and if you tell me I'm still smart, then you COULD be a lot better, IF YOU DIDN'T USE THAT CRUTCH OR CANE!
So their is a level that is over you that you could walk on, but that's your choice to go through the world with a cane or a crutch!

 Smoking marijuana over an extended period of time can lead to a permanent loss of memory as well as difficulty recalling recent events. It can also lead to learning problems.

The THC in marijuana affects areas of the brain that involve movement, and it increases the risks of heart attacks and lung cancer. Drag for drag, it can increase the risk of lung cancer more than cigarettes. That's because marijuana smokers tend to inhale more deeply and hold the smoke in their lungs longer than cigarette smokers.

 I believe it does. I know a few people that were potheads or stoners, and they are really "brain fried" these days...the old commercial comes to mind...this is your brain...this is your brain on drugs...any question? (fried egg!)

 I have many friends that have been smoking pot for over 25 years. They are scatter brains and dense.

 I was a hardcore stoner for 25 years, quitting just over a year ago. I still have an excellent memory, and am often the source of clarification in family and friend matters about the past. Marijuana does not affect memory; that's a load of bupkus.
