The more you use the more complex words, the easier it is for them to flow in conversation.
the only thing that it really affects me bad in is the short term memory category. Ill puy pot somewhere in my room, forget about it cause i was stoned, and then find it a month later...its kinda good cuz i find pot in random places but it sucks cuz i have to buy more sometimes...like one time i found a bag in my computer..idk how it got there but when i opened up my computer one day a bag was just sitting there...same thing happened in my alarm clock once.
^ same thing happens to me. Thanks guys for all the comments I'm just glad its not just me.
One more question have any of you stopped and your short term memory comes back and such?? Thats what I'm realy afraid of.
Homer Simpson - Ive been off drugs for a week and ive finally started to recognize simple shapes and patterns.
Lisa - Dad you just said that five minutes ago.
The Simpsons is just so fuckin funny!
But yeah to answer your question lots of that stuff does come back after a while of being sober.
It used to happen to me a lot, but now I just live in a situation with a lot of stoner musicians and shit and I smoke several times a day, and I've just gotton used to functioning stoned so I can recall shit and think just fine when I'm stoned now. Just gotta excercise those muscles while your stoned. Do all of your language arts homework stoned. The worst thing for your brain is not being in school. When you're in school you are doing that shit everyday and it stays in your mind crisp. When you're out of school and you're spending more time doing stupid things instead of smart things and then go back you lose a lot of that shit. Like today I was trying to figure out how much change you would get back if you took .97 from 1.00. And I coulden't do it so I had to ask my manager to use her calculator because I knew I was close but I wasn't sure so I just wanted to make sure.
these things happen because you smoke too much pot. just cut back a bit for awhile man. that is why i only smoke heavily during the summer months so that i can preform well in school. if you cant cut back the smoke then you could try reading more because that will help your memory vocab and stuff like that. i dont know but i mean marijuana DOES have harmful side effects ( many people on this forum would wish to deny this) just cut back on smoking a bit and take it easy.
Yeah dude all that stuff happens to me also.
Iā??ve noticed that I donā??t care about some stuff as much as I used to. On the other hand when I go back to being sober it seems like sometimes I start to care about stuff too much. Iā??m not just talking about school and stuff but caring about things related to your life. Sometimes when Iā??m sober Iā??ll think too much about stuff and because Iā??m naturally pessimistic, I tend to think of the future in kind of a depressing way. Its much better to just not care and live life. I can see how it might be a problem with school, but then again I think there is so much to school that is just BS that maybe its better to not careā?¦
I definitely have interesting things happen with my short term memory. Well actually I donā??t know really what the deal is. It seems like I become really focused on one idea, at the expense of other ideasā?¦ Like if I was walking somewhere, but got sidetracked along the way, Iā??d become so focused on whatever I got sidetracked on that I canā??t remember where I was walking to.
I noticed that I stutter sometimes now when I talk, which was kinda scary at first. It seems like I want to think faster than my mouth can talk, and of course it usually gets hitched up on the big words. Iā??m not sure if itā??s a bad thing though. I think that when you smoke, it changes the way you think in a way that perhaps makes it slightly less optimal for vocal communication. Hmmmā?¦ how can I describe it betterā?¦ Well like when you suck at reading, you usually read the letters in each word, word by word. When you get better at reading all you really have to do is look at each word briefly. When you get really good at reading sometimes you can just kinda look at the entire sentence or at least multiple words at a time. Reading multiple words at a time as opposed to sounding out each word is going to be a lot faster, but you are probably more likely to misread a word when you read multiple words at a time. When I think of speaking while high, I think of this kinda in reverse. When you are high thoughts flow very fast and freely, but the chance of being able to accurately reproduce those words with your mouth goes down a little. Perhaps maybe just more of a tradeoff rather than a negative? At least the problem seems to go away if I stop smoking for a while.
