I forget what it is i forgot. Memory issues + feels like times flying by!

[ganjhound]

I have come to notice in the last few months that my memory is really getting bad. i've been smoking for almost 2 years and i find that it feels like 1 second i'm waking up for the work, the next i'm half way through my day, and then before i know it i'm on this bus home. Now i'm not 100% if this is related to marijuana use but it seems like a likely explanation. Anyone experienced the same and can recommend a fix?

Thanks in advance for any help.

There are certain receptors in the brain that not everyone has or can play with without having a major effect on you. I smoke all day and I'm never effected with memory, my job depends on that and I'm blitzed 24/7. This goes in the "everyone's body is different" box.

Thanks man, going into some research i think....Fuck it got free health care :P even if the NHS is a pile of shit

Sounds like you are having the time of your life. When time goes quickly, it is because we are doing things we love. Often those things put our brains on 'auto' pilot. I am sure if you wanted to remember, you would. Mundane things aren't always a priority. But, time flying is a sign of a very happy and healthy lifestyle! Reps to you! :rasta: pr

i Don't see the problem here. I wish my days were like that!

I've found that as I get older & busier, my days just go faster - especially, as others have mentioned, i'm enjoying my day.

since you have free health care, maybe they can test your memory?

i have a son who has a learning disability. part of it is memory related. he tests off the chart for originality, but he has deficits in long-term, short-term & working memory.

so, from first hand observation, there's a big difference from being engaged so that your day goes really fast and having functional problems. and, other more traditional drugs could be contributing to your problem if you take any of those. i know several people who have stopped taking lipitor because of major memory problems. benzos are also notoriously famous for causing memory lapses.

(between the learning disability and the fact that alzheimers runs on both sides of my family, i'm always interested in anything that messes with the memory.)

Hmmm... I'm not sure if cannabis will work that fast in terms of destroying brain cells, considering that you've only been smoking for 2 years. As far as I know, cigarettes and alcohol kill brain cells faster. So if you really feel like you're losing your edge in terms of memory retention, I suggest getting some supplements or milk with memory enhancers. My gramps drinks it and at 94 years old, he can still remember my name lol.

DDduhhhh! Sorry guys,,what's the topic about?:pimp:

[StrongToke]

I agree with the time goes by quickly speech but that's general information, but I'm just glad I don't have/low on that hormone released in the brain from smoking routing memory loss. I consider it a blessing as if it weren't for the ganja i wouldn't be alive and happy today.

I have been started a new job and i suppose since then things have been going faster, feel abit like a fool having not connected the two :p...memory has been getting better lately with no change in diet,exercise, or anything im doing which is rather odd. And in answer to cannabis-seeds i do not take any other drug or medication of any kind.

I just think it happens. I told my oldest kid who is almost 18 about 2 years ago soon he would be hitting a spot where December seemed like yesterday. The example I gave him was once I hit about 17 or 18 magically I'm now going on 31 ( he's my stepson). He brought it up the other day he said remember that time you said that, well it seems like yesterday. I have bad memory to but that's cause of all the other narcotics I've abused myself with.

[pipesdaddy]

It may be. But it may not be the sole reason.

[ganjhound]

Any other possibility's?
