mine stays the same but some times it gets worse. one time i kept having to turn up the stereo cause it kept getting softer until i came down. it was loud as fuck, the volume was up to around 50 when i normally think loud is 20 (i can hear it good in my kitchen which is across the house at 20). but i have something else that happens to me when i smoke. i get the power to understand people that mutter things under their breath and that stutter even both at the same time!!! i know, it's awesome. this one kid in my psychology class that no one can understand cause he mumbles and stutters, sounds normal to me and the funny thing is that he is talking shit about people all the time. i laughed at what he was saying and he looked startled that i could understand him! greatness...just call me...super-communicator! MUHAHA
