Why does weed affect your short term mem?

[CrAzYpOtHeAd]

Im just wondering. Because before i smoked weed i already had short term memory, i think it might of gotten a bit worse over the last year or something. But im just wondering, what is it that makes this plant affect our short term mem? have doctors looked into it or anything? I really think people like doctors or scientise should study weed alot more. I think they could find out alot.

Hey, mybe weed IS the gift from god and IN weed it HAS the proof of the exsistnce of God? i think that makes sense? :stoned: it does to me anyway so yeah..... mmmm 'k

I think it has something to do with the thc settling in certain tissues of the brain and sortta blocks the short term part. Once the thc starts to leave your body your short term will get progressivly better. I think the study I read said something like: Even though it leaves your body and you get better, you do lasting damage to your brain. At least, that is what I read; I guess when quoting I should actually look up what I read. lol I'm too lazy... Also, did you know that thc is also stored in your fatty tissues, that is why it takes longer for fat people to get it out of thier system? Dman it... I bet if they did a study of my ass they would find it made of pure thc... ha ha ha ha

It's just a way that THC effects your brain, more specifically your Cerebellum. Your Cerebellum (part of your brain that's in the back of your head near the top of your neck) deals with your internal timing system. When THC is absorbed into your blood stream and into your brain, it effects your Cerebellum by reducing your brain's ability to record STM (Short Term Memory)

ahh bullshit!

science knows diddly squat about how the human brain works. and they know even less about memory.

this bullshit conjecture about right brain-left brain, long term and short term memory, and who decides who needs shock therapy, and synapses and dopamine and on and on and on,
its all theory!
most of all they claim to know about a brain is just guesswork!


and besides, marijuana doesn't affect long term anything!
