Birdgirl and others please respond.

I do know that while it made me feel sorta cloudy in some ways, in others, like in the area of creativity, it seemed to enhance my abilities.

This sums up my experience as well. I particularly had problems with memory. Long-term, short-term and everything in between.
This seemed to improve quickly and markedly when I stopped smoking and reappeared after returning to smoking for awhile. Hard to say what the long-term effects are.

Birdgirl, you look to have done some homework. Can you share some reliable sources on the marijuana/memory connection?
