Think about it. Do you really need your short-term memory? Whatever info your brain processes, you'll forget it after a while anyways, regardless of the weed. It's only short-term. Get it? Our brains still have long-term memory, which also isn't damaged by smoking. It's all brain chemistry.

I believe that this other "research" you speak of doesn't exist, and that weed has no negative influence on your memory what-so-ever. ~
