yea i think it kinda affects my short term memory when i'm sober but damn when i'm blazed outta my mind and you wanna try to talk to me i'll forget what i'm saying real quick...another thing is that if theres alot of people around i always zone into their conversations and listen to every word possible such as when i went into a grocery store with my one roommate and we were pretty damn blazed so while we were standing in like these 2 chicks were talking and i listened to the entire conversation and then told my friend about it after we left haha it was crazy
